 HIGH WATER.
 The borough and town experienced on Monday evening the most notable1 season of high water known since the flood of 1877. That less damage was done to EtNeets and dams than in the flood of 1869 ia due to the fact that better dams now stand. The same volume of water that wound down the east valley on Monday would have destroyed the weaker dam which stood on the Granite mill privilege in 1869. As it was the water ran over the vest wing of the dam for considerable length of time.
 The rain, which began Sunday evening, fell almost necessarily during Monday, ,and until nearly 10 o'clock in the evening. The ground, frozen to quite a depth, absorbed little of the fall, and the already full streams found the surplus too great for the ordinary channels. By evening there was general alarm for safety of dams and of buildings and property on East Main and South streets, and along the stream below. Many removed goods from places of danger, and occupants of tene- ments and of the Central House generally got out. The rain ceased falling, how ever, and the alarm subsided. The base ment of the Central House, the cellars in the bank building and other buildings were flooded. l.. w. Cranes cellar goods suffered damage to considerable amount, and H. Butterfield X Son also sustained some loss, though not so much, having had warning from previous experience.
 Six families in tenements below the River mill on River-st. were removed at near midnight, the women and children being carried through water two to four feet in depth. They left reluctantly, hay ing waited long for teams to save their goods, but the rescuers did not deem the danger serious enough to warrant the re- moval of anything more than the living occupants of the buildings
 The north, or middle river, was at near iy. but not quite, high-water mark, and, though anxiously watched, did not give occasion for any great alarm. There was general feeling of relief when the rain fall abated.
 In Stafford and in the country about great damage was done to roads by wash- ing, though we hear of. the loss of no bridges.
 A store house belonging to B. 0. Den- nis' mill was st one time in danger of be- ing undermined, and next day some forty sons of grain had to be removed while the building was ''jacked up" to right the set fling of one corner.
