A Younx Detuxe.

The rains of Saturday covered an ex- ceedingly wide area and produced floods and freshets more destructive than any which have occurred in many years. Re- ports of disastrous floods, with destruc- ton of bridges and houses, came from all over New England and from as far distant as Central New York. The Hud- son rlver at Albany. N. Y rose as much ss 20 feet. flooding the southern part of the city. At Saratoga Springs the water was four feet deep on many of the streets. The railroad track of the Hud- son River railroad was flooded, necessi- tating the transfer of trains to the Hsr- lem division. s
 In this immediate vicinity the Black berry and Housatonic rivers ovelfiowed their banks and submerged the mead ows Barlow street was under water and some of the cellsrs on that street were filled with the same chilly element. The raised sidewalk. three feet. above the highway, between the two bridges on Elm street, was covered for a time by a raging torrent bearing fence posts, large gravel stones and driftwood in its eourse On the P, R S N E road bad wash outs occurred at Clintoudale. N. Y and at Simsbury. at the former place 40 feet of track being washed out. Between Pine Meadow aud Satan's Kingdom a mile of track was washed out or under mined. Washnuts also occurred at other points on the F., R < N E.
 No trains have been run on the Nau. gatuck division of the Consolidated road between Waterbury and Torrington since Sunday, owing to big washout at Key holds Bridge. Trains are expected to run today.
 At Winsted Mad river overflowed it's banks and flooded the streets near it to a depth, in some places. of three feet Many cellars were filled with water. T~o dealers sold over 900 pairs of rub Der boots. =-
 The total rainfall is estimated at 3.89 inches.

THE WINTER SEASON IN CANAAN.

Now that the winter season, accord ing to the calendar, Is fast drawing 10 8 close and Lent has come with it's time for rest and reflection, let us take a retrospective view of the past three months. Iu the early part of the win ter some one who was inclined to take pessimistic view of the outlook for the season along the line of social en- tertainment, almost chilled. as it were, the readers of our local paper by DOT trayiug in a most forcible manEer the gloomy atmosphere that seemed hover lug OCT us. Doubtless that person has changed his ideas ere tbis and Is ready to say with the writer that we have not enjoyed livelier or more inspiring season during the last ten years, than the one that ended last Sunday night.
 Think for moment of the pleasant meetings held by our Whist Club in the homos of the members. Then what village can boast of an organization that has done more to cultivate and lift mp the literary and musical tastes of its people than our Monday Evening Club has done in that direction?
 Some wished to become more prof. cient tn tripping the light fantastic" and they have had ample opportunity 10 gratify their desire at the dancing school conducted by Mir J. G Beckley, where many pleasant evenings have been spent
 Numerous other social bodies have meet st different times and places dur ing the season, giving all chance to indulge in the pleasures spoken of as lasting only for season.
 And it would be a gross injustice to omit mentioning the grand climax that came with the Leap Year Ball. The writer was one of the few unfortunates who failed to receive an invitation. yet from what he has heard from eye wit nesses, 1t must have been one more ex- republication of what Canaan's fair ones are capable of planning and carrying out and if the boys can remember one thng when the season returns again, to alwas 8 seat their partners when the dance is over, a good lesson has been imparted.
 Let us look forward now to summer, the time of picEics and warm weather, and with visions of Twin Lakes. lunch baskets and pond hlies, we may look forward with high spirits to the future in the distance.

The decision of Judge Sanford in the district court at Great Burlington, Mass, in the recent case of Irving M Curti is, charged with disturbing the Center dis trict school at Sue fl Id, was that the boy was guilty as charged and that the school committee had the right to ex- clude him from the school. having un- doubted authority in school affairs.
