damage to the highways in this town,
estimated at So. 600. A large force of men
were employed all day Monday repairing
the roads and bridges throughout the
town. Real estate, also, has been dam
aged to great extent. Two dams have
been washed out by the freshet and a
large raft of logs was carried over F.W.
Woods dam at this place. Saco river Is
now the highest it has been known for
years and is still rising, while the inter
wales along its course are already sub
merged. W. B. Chute, proprietor of the
Naples stage line, arrived here on time
on Monday morning, bit was compelled
to leave his stage just after leaving
South Naples. He was obliged to make
use of six different horses in order to get
through on time with the United States
mail. Mr.. Brown, proprietor of the Sc
bago stage line, had an experience very
similar to that of Mr.. Chute. He was
obliged to abandon his coach shortly af-
ter leaving the North Baldwin post Office
but arrived here, bearing the mail pouch
on his shoulder, in season to connect
with the Portland train. All persons
who OIL Monday wished to get to North
Baldwin had to make detour of sever al
miles, the bridge acress the Folly brook
having been washed away.

Limerick April 16.-A fierce rain storm
has been raging here for the last forty
eight hours and at this writing shows
no sign of abatement. Great damage
has been done to the mills located on the
streams in this vicinity, and the losses
will fall very hard on the owners
The dam at the Folsom Mill on Brown
Brook went out Sunday night and thous-
ands of log were carried into Holland
Pond three miles below. Mr. Folsom has
inst been making extensive repairs on
the mill pant and his damage will be
very large The Hall mills one mile be-
being carried away. The water has
risen half way to the second story and
unless there is some abatement soon
something has got to give"
At James L. Watson's saw mill, two
miles below here the damage was great.
Mr. Watson had about $500 worth of
logs doomed here, waiting to be sawed.
At 80 last night the boom broke, and
the entire drive went out. AS they have
clear sweep to Saco the loss will probs-
bly, be total AS tbs logs were not marked.
Many buildings have been swept away
and the water has quilted the roads SO
that they are well nigh impossible.
Word reached here this AFTERNOON that
the dye-house of the West Buxton WOODEN
mills had been carried away, and that
the new iron bridge which has lately
been erected across the Saoo, was in
danger of being swept away at any time.

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.


The Moons Power over the Weather.
Fallacies about the moon are nu-
merous, such as that the full moon
clears away the clouds; that you
should only SOW beans and cut down
trees in the a OF. the moon; that it
Is a bad sign il she changes on a Sat
urday or Sunday; that two full moons
in a month will ause a flood; that to
e the old o in the arms of the
new brings on rain, and many others,
OF which a catalogue alone would
take up a good deal Of space. M.
Flamma rion says that "the moons in
huence of the weather is negligible.
The heat reaching us from the moon
would only affect our temperature by
twelve millionths of a degree; and the
atmospheric tidesicaused by the moon
would only affect the barometric
pressure a few hundrebths of an inch
"a quantity far less than the changes
which are always taking place from
other causes" On the whole we are
disposed to agree with the rhyme
which thus sums up the subject:
The noon and the weather
Nay change together;
But change of the moon
Does not change the weather.
Even the halo round the moon has
been discredited, for Mr.. Lowe found
that it was as often followed by fine
weather as by rain, and Messrs. Mar
riott and Abercromby found that the
lunar halo Immediately preceded rain
in thirty-four cases out of sixty.on
We always have a lingering hope that
some future meteorological will olsen
tangle the overlapping influences. and
arrive some day at a definite proof
that our satellite after all has
something to do with our weather.

THE COMING PICNIC AT TAUNTON LAKE.

The Sunday school picnic of the Con- gregational church, long looked for by the children and, it may be remarked, by the older people as well, will soon be here. It is to be held at the usual place under the trees toward the south end of Taunton lake on Tuesday, August 13. There will be games for the children, and some swings are to be suspended from the big trees. The baby organ, used at the Sunday afternoon schoolhouse meet ings, will be taken along, and few of the ''old songs of Zion" will be sung. Long tables will be spread under the trees, ,and the only thought will be wheth- CT the blanks will be strong enough to hold all the good things with which the tables are to be piled. All the available boats on the lake have already been en- gagged. Let no one stay away for lack of a personal invitation; this picnic is for every one that can claim the remotest connection with the church. IfTuesday prove stormy (which, according to the record of picnic days can hardly be), the hosts will gather on the first clear day. The Congregational church bell will ring long and loud at 10 o'clock in the morn- ing of the day that the picnic is held.
