of Lexington and the passage of the Mass
achusetts Sixth regiment through Balu-
more: to which he can now add the date
of the freshet of this week on the anniver-
sary of the death of Lincoln.
Three high-water marks are notable, the
first being the second and highest ledge of
rocks in the river east of the mills The
second dates 1928 and is in the barn on the
premises of the late j. NJ. Webb, some
half a mile above this village: the third,
very good one, is later date and is the
old organ shop building next to the canal
on the north side of Bridge street. This
building still remains as it stood in 1862, at
which time it was owned by the late VIM.
Nutting, who, soon after the flood, painted
on the casing over the south lower door the
words, "High-water mark, 1862" The
water did not touch the casing on Monday
by about Is inches. The barn of Mr..
Webb, mentioned above, was made a high
water mark in this way: In 1928 the water
just covered the floor, and in 1862 it was
six feet deep on the same floor.
An impression prevails that the highest
water here prevailed in October, 1869.
Such is not the fact by nearly two feet.
The tributaries, SaXtons river, Williams
river, Black river, Sugar river, ETC., all
have their highest water marks at that
time, but not the Connecticut at this place.
The highest water in this village stands
for August, 1856 and April, 1862. In 1856
a small scrub pine tree had stood for many
years, growing on the high ledge mention
ed above, and withstood that freshet. The
higher water of 1862 swept it off. The
population of Bellows Falls at that time
was probably less than one-siXth of what
it is today, but the property loss was con-
siderable, the heaviest losers being the
Messrs. Flint, peg factory; j. c. Tolman,
sash, etc. Albert Derby and others. The
Vermont Valley railroad was totally dis
abled and ran no trains for a week in both
freshets. The only building left in 1862,
where the paper city now stands, is the
grist-mill, and only the first story of that.
Twice, in 1862 and October, 1869, has a
dam been built across the tunnel, and last
Monday for the third time. In the last 20
years the north end of the high ledge and
the rocks about the falls have been blasted
out to such an extent that the water had
more free tlowage than formerly, and the
freshet of Monday will take its place
among the higher water marks of this vii
lage.

Among the high-water incidents in the
Fall Mountain mills may be related that of
a boy of 10 or y years, who was sent for
something to one of the lower rooms where
he ran into the water and debris up to his
chin. Superintendent W. A. Hall ran to
his assistance. He could hear his cries
but could not find him amid the darkness,
but by the light of match he soon found
and pulled him out
Even the humorous sometimes takes its
place as veritable history. Some of the
population here of today have been incred-
ulous as to the high-water marks, and

Interesting "Reminiscences of High
Water Marks at Bellows Falls from
1892 to 1898.
The great freshet of Monday naturally
recalls previous high-water marks in this
place, of which we have records covering
more than 100 years, the particular periods
being 1892, 1919, 1928, 1856, 1859, April
10, 1862, April 81, 1869, and October 4,
1869, to which is now to be added April 10,
1895. The student of history can perhaps
aid his memory by associating the highest
water yet known in this place as having
occurred on the anniversaries of the battle

Mrs. Bennett of Brookline is spending
some days with her daughter here, Mrs.
John a. Bush.
We find our information of last week to
have been incorrect regarding Timothy
Sullivan having returned to Bellows Falls
and opened new grocery store. He is
not here and the store in question is owned
and run by j. H. Conway, who has put in
an entirely fresh stock of goods and is
making low prices on them. He is in the
building near the foot of the stairs where
his wife formerly had millinery store.
The Cotton King troupe, booked for
Tuesday evening, had to cancel their en-
gagement because of the freshet rendering
it impossible to reach here. The enter
tanment of the "Owl Club minstrels''
reaped a benefit Monday evening because
of the same disturbance to railroad traffic,
as there were hundreds of travellers de
tanned here at the time, and many attended
to pass away the time.
Much interest centred in the marriage
of Miss Barry, from the long public ser
vice which she has given to the younger
portion of our citizens, and the deep feeling
of love for her in the hearts of hundreds
of pupils who have passed under her in

past II years. Her marriage to Rev. A.
H. Webb, Methodist pastor of Montpelier,
occurred at the residence of the late d. X.
Barry, her uncle, where she has always
lived, at eleven o'clock, Wednesday, and
they went to Philadelphia on the mail
train that day.
A. A. Halliday d Son have dissolved
their business partnership. Mr., Halliday
retains the fruit business and the raising
of seed for his new tomato, 1.-THE New
| Imperial" for which he has orders for
over POO pounds. When it is known that
il takes eight bushels of tomatoes to yield
pound of seed, it will be seen he is TO
raise an immense quantity of tomatoes
this season. A. c. Halliday has formed a
partnership with c. w. Butterfeld, and as
Butterfeld and Halliday they are to use
Mr.. Buttertield's greenhouses and grounds
in raising early vegetables and plants, as
well as potting and bedding flowers. This
specially is to be done by them to greater
extent than ever before in our village.
They have about $50 dozen lettuce plants
nearly ready for the market, When the
season for doing vase work for lawns
comes they will be prepared to do good
| work in that line.

William Burke lost his life Tuesday even
ing about 10 o'clock by falling from the
iron bridge across the Connecticut into the
water below, and being carried through the
falls. The Osgood Il Barker foundry
where he was employed had been shut down

and as they stepped upon the bridge Burke
in a daring manner leaned out over the
side of the bridge. lie lost his balance,
fell into the rushing waters below, not
being seen again by any of the dozen or so
people who were near by. He was about
26 years old, unmarried, and boarded with
Mrs. owen Sullivan on Atkinson street.
He came here about three years ago from
Fitchburg, Mass, where it is understood
he has relatives living.

AIR IN SOLID FORM.

Scientists Believe Hydrogen Will Some
 time Be Shown to Be a Metal
 Speculation continues to multiply and flourish around the mysterious sub stances which Prof. Dewar lately eX- hibited as solid air, says the Pail Mall Budget. It will be remembered that Prof Dewar could not himself say whether the frozen mass contained both solid oxygen and solid nitrogen, or solid nitrogen alone with liquid oXy- ren interspersed. Substances which possess the property of retaining liquids in an apparently solid form like gelatine, for instance-are known as "collids.' and it would be hazard ous as yet to assert that nitrogen could belong to this class. It has been sug- gcsted that the greater volatility of nitrogen might enable the oxygen to be solidihed, though it's own evaporation cannot: in this case it ought to be pos sible to solidify pure oxygen by sur rounding it with vessel containing iquid nitrogen, and exhausted in the usual manner.
 A technical contemporary strikes boldly at the climax of these experi- ments, and says: If Prof. Dewar con- tinues his researches with the energy and success that have hitherto char acterized them, we do not despair of announcing in few weeks time that a trial casting of liquid hydrogen has been made. and that on qualification and removal from the mold it has been proved to possess fine luster, high tensil strength and sonorous qualities quite in accordance with its kHowl metallic character"

Too Good a Joke.

Lord Bowen, an English judge, was once tempted to sum up ironically. It was the case of burglar who had been caught, having entered from the roof and taken the precaution to leave his boots on top. His defense was that he was in the habit of taking midnight strolls on the roofs of houses. and that he was tempted by curiosity to have Q look at one of the interiors. Lord Bowen said, sarcastically: If, gentle men of the jury, you think it probable that the prisoner considered the roofs of the houses a salubrious place for an evening walk; if you suppose that the temptation to inspect the interior of the houses beneath him was the out come of natural and pardonable curi- osity, in that case, of course, you will acquit him, and regard him as a thoughtful and considerate man, who would naturally remove his boots be- fore entering the house, and take every precaution not to disturb his neighbors." To the judges amazement, the jury took him at his word and ac- quilted the prisoner. Lord Bowen never attempted to joke with jHry again,

6lsMARcK's MORTGAGES.

Tho Ex-ChancelIor Dcvo.ing G32, 900 a
 Year tO tho Liquidation of Debts.
 Nobody in Germany has felt the evil effects of the agricultural depression more keenly than has Bismarck To persons who have read of the magnid- cent presents given to Bismarck by the old emperor it has been a surprise to learn recently that his estates are heavily mortgaged. His present from the old emperor after the AustrO-Prus- sian war of 1866 was S30o,000, and with this sum he bought his palace at Var zin After the Franco-Prussian war he received from the same hands the Saxon forest at Friedrichsruhe, valued at S750,OO0. He inherited the ancestral estate at Schoenhausen. On April 1, 1885, BismarcE's Seventieth birthday, his admirers throughout the world gave him that portion of the Schoen- hausen property which his father had been obliged to sell when times were hard. The money value of the gift was some S400O00 Bismarck is also a distiller, forester and the owner of a large brick yard. Despite all these ad- vantages, however, says a writer in the Home Journal, he has found it iInpossi- ble to lift the mortgages, amounting to about S750,0OO, which have incumbered his estates for many years. Of his gross income more than S32,O00 must be devoted every year to paying the in- terest on his debts. The burden is not agreeable to the old chancellor, and he has often remarked to his friends re- gently that his ambition to leave an unineumbered property to his children would never be gratifed.
