The heavy rains of last week caused
the highest tresliet that has been known
in this vicinity at this season OF the year
for more than thirty years. Consi,iera-
bic damage was done to the bridges and
roads in this town, and the Connecticut
river meadows were for the most part
under water causing much damage to the
grass and grain and almost running the
corn and potato crops. Some farmers
above us report that nearly their entire
crop was under water.

Peter Guilmette of Berlin, n. H., who
came here last week to visit his daughter
Mrs. H. Z. Ames, is showing signs of
mental arrangement. He jumped from Il
second story window last Friday night
and Wandered around the railroad yard
clad only in his shirt. He was discov-
cred by Moses Courchene and taken
home. Strange to say he was not hurt
by his leap from the window. He again
attempted similar jump Sunday night,
but the window having been secured at
ter his first experiment the noise he made
in trying to pry open the window
awoke Mrs. Ames and thus prevented a
second escapade. 1t is sad case and
we are very sorry for him and tor his
family.

West Concord.

The remarkable showers of the 18th,
which were a continuation of the heavy
rain fall Of the three previous days,
proved most disastrous to our town,
and especially to the village Of West Con-
cord. The heaviest showers came be-
tween 10 and / 1 O'Clock a. nj. lmmedi-
ately floods of water were rushing from
the hill sides in every direction, making
sad havoc everywhere. The highways
so severely damaged by the rains of the
previous week, were in many places
trightfully torn in pieces and all were
more or less damaged, while a dozen
bridges on the smaller streams were
washed away, as we understand was
also the dam at Ke!logg's mills near
East Concord. There were several
washouts upon the railroad, preventing
the running of the cars. One train COM
ing into this station was unable TO re-
treat or to continue its course, so sud-
denly was the mischief done. The water
of Moose River became very high, but
towards evening had so far abated as to
deceive many as to any impending danger
therefrom, but during the night when
the waters north reached us they proved
irresistible. In the early morning hours
of the 18th the dam at the lower mills
was swept away, the river taking its
course for several rods along the high
way in front of and below the bridge,
cutting for itself channel twelve or
fourteen feet in depth. Several buildings
were thus left to the mercy of the waters.
The blacksmith shop and tenement build
ing of c. H. Dudley, the dwelling house
and barn belonging to T. ID. Wyman, and
occupied by Albert Frye and daughter
and the barn and ell part of the house of
c. H. Smith were carried away. The
west end of the main part of the Smith
house was torn away by the crashing of
the other buildings against it and tipped
into the stream, but remained near its
foundation. The families in the fated
buildings, sleeping at the time of the
breaking of the dam, were barely able to
escape with their lives, leaving all. For
tunately however the goods in the

summer schools.

The era of summer schools is close at
hand. The teachers who are holding the
best positions today, and those who are
ambitious to occupy these positions in
the future, are the teachers who are the
most interested in these schools, and
compose the largest part of the attend
ants. All teachers who desire TO per-
form their work in such way as to be
OF value to their pupils, realize that these
institutions furnish excellent opportuni-
ties for training. 1t is hoped that the
teachers OF Vermont, more largely than
ever before, will show their appreciation
of these schools and will use the means
offered them to become skilled instruc-
tors. The eighth annual session of the
Orleans County summer School will be
held at Barton August PA. tour adver-
tising columns will give full particulars, J
and the kind ot work proposed for this
year must prove interesting and valuable
to all who may attend.

The Grand Trunk Railway authorities
have decided upon new regulation uni
form for their passenger train crews.
The uniforms will be the same color as al
present, blue. but the coats will all be cut
alike, sack shape, with close-htting col
lar. The brass buttons will be done
away with, being substituted by white
metal. On each lapel OF the coat will be
the name of the road. Each man will be
expected to wear a stand.up collar and
white shirt with a neat tie. This will
make alike every member OF the different
passenger train crews.

We see by the dispatches from Wash
ington that the Vermont Congressional
delegation will recommend our towns
man Col. Mansur for collector OF the
new Memphremagog district, with head
quarters at Newport. The selection of
the Colonel for this important and re-
sponsible position is very gratifying to
his large circle of friends not only at
home but throughout the State and
elsewhere. He is man or good judg-
ment, excellent business capacity and
known probity, and with his past ex-
perience in the customs service is particu-
larry we'll qualified for the work per-
tanning to the office, and this is suffici-
ent guarantee that it will be satisfac-
torily and efficiently discharged. Other
nominations recommended by Vermont's
delegation in congress are Hon. DIN
Merrill of Enosburg Falls, collector of
the Vermont district, with headquarters

unsurpassed in the entire world, and
hence to possess the grandest possibili-

its contents are quite interesting, and we

When Ellison ]. kimpton left his home
in Maiden, Mass, last week to come to
Island Pond for few weeks fishing he
confdingly informed his friends of the
fine sport he would have and the big
catches he would make, and intimated
that as they could not join in the sport
they at least should have a share in the
fish. But alas for promises Ellison
came, visited a day or two among his
friends here and then made preparations
for his fishing trip. Among those invited
to accompany him was DIP. Mackenzie,
a good fellow for such excursions, but at
the same time a regular Jonah, for it is
sure to rain when he goes fishing. This
occasion was no exception to the general
rule, for soon after the party reached
their destination the rain came down in
torrents, OVERLOOKING the brooks that
good fishing was out of the question
and they returned home discouraged but
not disheartened, Joe Palmer cutting the
sorriest looking figure of them ALL In
the meantime EIlison's friends in Maiden
were anxiously awaiting the promised
fish, and having an idea of the situation,
that Ellison was minus like themselves,
one of them, a doctor by profession, and
chairman of the board of health, procured
an old Goldfish and forwardedit to Island
Pond. Phew! how that Goldfish did
smell! The aforesaid doctor and chair
man was evidently glad to get that fish
out of Maiden, it imperilled good health,
but we do not admire his judgment i'll
shipping it here. Ellison duly received it,
the outside wrapper plastered all over
with labels. Wequote a number of them.
"A tribute of loving remembrance"
I'VE believe in reciprocity"
"a fair exchange is no robbery"
"Gone but not forgotten"
"When the sea gives up it's dead"
"Fishy, Fishy, bite my HOOK"
Free sample of improved odorless Goldfish
for summer travellers and tourists
Trout are often hard to find, but these
we have with us always
Have you tried Dr. Kings New Discovery
for Group and whooping cough 2"
The joke was on Ellison; he appreci-
ated it, and there was quite run on
Thurston's soda fountain and cigar case
ere the boys would let up on him. 1t
further put him on his mettle, and those
friends in Maiden will have this week
some ofthe handsomest lunge ever caught
in this vicinity.
