DURING the past five years we have
had very many heavy rains, but the
farmers tell US they have never seen
so much water on the ground and the
springs so high as is the case now. A
farmer near town who has never had
water in his celler before had it to
enter by the rising of the springs,
drowning brood of young chickens a
few days ago that had been put down
there for protection from the storm.
Another says his cellar is so full that
the water is nearly running out the
windows and another says the water in
his we'll is so high that it is actually
running out of the pump spout.
WITH the exception of few hours
on Monday afternoon, when the sun
came out, for six days we have had it
either raining or threatening. Friday
and Friday night, the rain fell for
hours, with the cOpiOusness of thunder
showers. Water was everywhere,

Sunday morning the heavy driving
storm was renewed again. The con-
sequence is, low lands are submerged,
and gardening and farming is at
stand-still. Possibly April may do bet
ter for US.

A pleasing incident of the late ses-
sion of Conference, was the presenta.
ton of valuable gold watch to Pre-
siding Elder Francs, by the ministers
of Easton District, as a token Of their
regard and esteem. The presentation
speech wasmade by bishop Fowler,
just as the elder had finished reading
the report of his district. The latter
was entirely unaware of what was to
follow the bishops humorous intro
ductiOn to the subject, but he stood il
herOically, and was very happy in his
acknowledgement Of the gift, It was
purchased Of L. o. Waller, our jeweler
and is a handsome and valuable time
piece.
