and no very serious inconven-

which prevailed in this section yesterday and
last night, passed over to-day, and was sue

dicating thirteen below zero at 2 p, m. The

rain and high temperature another cold
change set in early this morning, aud the
mercury has tumbled from 65 , yesterday
afternoon to 20 at l O'Clock to-day, with
the prospect it will 90 close to zero. The
rainfall in this section was quite heavy, and
caused all the creeks and small rivers to rise
rapidly and high, many of them overlooking
their banks, and a good deal of damage has
been done to farms, bridges and other prop
erty. The railroads also suffered from wash
outs, but the delay to trains has not been
serious, aud, as the floods now have been
checked by the cold weather, repairs will be
made and the normal condition of things be
resumed.
AT MONTREAL,
MONTREAL, Dec. Slowing to the heavy
thaw work on the ice palace has been en-
tirely suspended. 1t is feared unless it turns
colder the work done will be of no purpose.
1t is feared the structure will not be finished
in time, but the architect declares the castle
can be put IN in half the time it took last
year. The work will be carried on at night
by electric light, If necessary. AS for the
condora, it can be built in ten
days. It is understood carnival
drive will be restricted TO
fours, skies or Fights in hand, uniforms,
tandems and pairs, with sleighs manned by
snow shoe and tobogan. The river has
fallen two inches to-day and is still falling.
The general opinion is, however, the water
will rise again as soon as cold sets In. Mer-
chants along the river front and low locali-
ties continue to remove their goods to places
of safety.
