BENNINGTON, Vt, Aug. 29.-N esterday's
rains raised the Wslloomsac river SO that at
midnight Bennington people were called out
of bed by the fire alarm to find the streets
flooded and danger threatening on every
hand. An exciting night enSucd, but for
tunately the damage is reduced TO a mini
mum, as no dams gave way and but one
bridge was carried off. Collars, however,
were flooded and streets badly washed, and
water was above high water mark.
This stream has not risen so high since
the autumn OF 1859 when several buildings
were carried down and four lives lost. In
the midst OF all tho Crawford ~ Carney

English Peer. and Drinking shops.


The story sent from London respecting the
large number of drink shops owned by peers
Of the realm ought 10 be accompanied by an
explanatory notelto the effect that these same
peers own very large proportion Of the real
estate Of the tight little island; and, as a
natural consequence. many Of the houses
used ms hotels or for the sale Of liquor belong
10 them. Thus the Earl Of Derby. who Is the
owner Of seyenty-two drinking places, IS also
the owner Of very large part Of London, be
sides thousands Of acres elsewhere: and
so also with the Duke Of Bedford,
who IS credited with forty-eight drnS
shops The statistics show that
l52peers own $50 drinking places. One Of
the curious disclosures is that good bishop
owns two places where intoxicating liquors
are sold. The naked statement of statistics,
however. would probably make a worse I'M
preston than explanatory text. For example,
TO say that a bishop owned two drink houses
would look very bad 70 say that he owned
an entire village which contained among other
places two we'll conducted inns for the on
tertainnent of man and beast would not look
50 bad.
