The great success of the last concert, as
well as Of those previously given. has
awakened in the souls of the public a re-
sponsive chord which only can be appeased
By the strains OF harmonious arias and
the exhilarating measures OF marches.
The larger number by far OF the selections
executed at the last concert were Old IA
vorites. but there is constantly growing
catalogue OF splendid new music, for
which there is also demand.
This weeks concert will be made up
mainly OF the later compositions of well

Lewiston, March 2.-The greatest fresh
ct which the memory of any man now
living can realize, is raging in the andre
scoggin valley and has already caused a
damage amounting to many hundred
thousand of dollars, and no one can saw
as yet with truth that the end has been
reached. In speaking Of freshets on the
And1oscoggin everything dates to the
celebrated Pumpkin Fresnet'' of 1871,
but the water today stood three feet
above the mark made on the wall of the
Columbia mill at the height of that
Hood. Since Saturday morning, six and
one-tenth inches of rain has fallen here.
and tonight it is still raining though not
SO steadily. The water is nine and one
tenth inches deep over the dam, more
than half foot more than the greatest
depth ever before recorded. The great
rock ON the fall is entirely submerged
for the first time since the dams were
built. The following is an estimate of

NINE BRIDGES GONE.
Greatest Flood on Record in the Town of
North Berwick.
EsPEo1AI TO THE PREss.l

LSI ~ 4r1b TAGioSsI
| North Berwick March 1.-The flood was
far in excess of anything within the memory
of the oldest inhabitant, or of any known
record. The little village of North Berwick,
also known as Doughty's Falls, is located
on the Great Works, also called in Indian
dialect Newechawannock. The Great Works
has tributary called Eppeford, the two
me citing just above the village. Another
tributary just below the falls is called
Negutaquit. The Great Works has its origin
i'll Bonney Beag pond and furnishes power
for the Morrill, mill, Buffers mill, the Hobbs
mill, and at this village the various mills
of the North Berwick company It. B. Hus-
sey's pillow works are on the Negutaquit. All
these streams are fed by smaller tributaries
and the moderate rain of Saturday set the
snow running while the copious fall during
Saturday night and Sunday produced the
greatest freshet ON record in this locality.
The people were amazed on going out Sun
dav morning to find that the ice was block
ed above the dam, much of it in q perpen-
dicular position, and torrents of ice water
mourning over the dam. The base of the
wooden mills and machine shop was in water
to the depth of five OF six feet. The cloth
hall, the dye house and other attachments.
were deeply submerged. A bridge used as
a foot passage and for private teaming was
lifted and carried bodily down the stream
OF the twelve bridges on the principal
stream, excepting the village bridges, be-
tween the Bonney Beag pond and the place
called Great Works in South Berwick, no
less than nine bridges are reported impassa-
BILE, or entirely carried Off The damage on
bridges in the towns of North Berwick and
South Berwick viii prove a heavy cost to the
tax payers. Besides these, many private
farm bridges were carried away. Buffers dam
and the dam near the residence of the late
Ebenezer Hobbs were swept away. The
damage to the North Berwick company will
amount to large sum, and much private
property was more of less damaged. The
pillow works of T, B. Hussey, though largely
flooded, are not greatly injured. Various
washouts are taking the attention of the
road commissioners today.

n Gardiner, March 2.-This CITY isnemon,
the heaviest losers on the Kennebec IN,
the freshet, owing to the water backipg
up from the tremendous ice lam near
Richmond, causing the highest water
ever known. 1t is four feet deem over
water street. The middle span of the
Gardiner and Randolph bridge was car
ried away about p. IN. by the breaking
ur of the large jam of logs in the Browns
Island boom, mile and half above.
The bridge was already weakened when
the logs struck. The immense new saw
mill of q. and G. II. Phillips at Farm
ingdale was badly damaged, one pier be-
ing lost, and the main building moved
from its foundation. The bridge was
one of the old landmarks on the Kenne-
bee, formerly toll, but purchased a few
years since by the two places.
The losses are estimated the largest
that ever befell the city by fire or flood.
The ice and logs cover the track from
three to ten feet deep and will break off
all mails and rail communication for
several days.
