In the evening Mr.. Penniman spoke of
the importance of the prohibition ques-
ton and presented the claims of party
whose leaders and platforms are pledged
to prohibition. He arrai0ned both of the
great parties of the day and predicted the
success of the prohibition party in The ma

is an eloquent speaker and as his hearers
were entirely in sympathy with him he
naturally held their close attention
throughout.

A special despatch from Milton says
The flood in. the Lamoille river has reach
ed an unprecedented height on River

was built last year The water has been
over foot deep in the highway, covering
the garden of Ell Barnum and driving the
family of Thomas l,even away from the
house near by. The highway in front of
j. W. Browns is submerged and almost
impossible. The spectacle at the great
falls is magnificent. Up to p. m, the
river was steadily rising, having come up
at the pulp null bul&head 81 inches in as
many hours. 1t now appears to keep the
same level with certainty Of rising higher

AWise Decision, !,

Owing to the alarming increase Of
the attacks Of robbers upon mali
trains in sparsely settled regions in the far
west, and the almost constant peril in which
the lives Of, postal employees are placed by
these marauders, the postofice department
has determined to arm, at the expense Of the
government; every Postal einploye On these
exposed railroad roitcs With wefpuns Of the
most effective kind. They will be supplied
with an abundance Of ammunition and every
convenience necessary for prompt work, and
will thus be prepared to successfully defend
themfclves and mails from attacks Of these
'sroad agents" however skillfully planned OF
unexpectedly made. This action has been
taken at the earnest solicitation OF General
Superintendent Nash, Of the. railway mail
service, who has already taken steps to care,
the order into immediate effect. 1t is said
that many Of the western railroads, have de-
cided to arm their trainmen, and 1t lis expect
ed that with arms in the hands Of trainmen,
express messengers always and postal
employees train robberies in the fur west will
I'be lcss frequent in the fhture. M

Reading railroad strike got to work
shortly after II this morning Mr.. John
Lee, of Philadelphia. who sympathiscs
