a SHOWER OF FROGS.
ClOudburst Brings q Deluge OF the
Dazed Creatures.


a traveller from Fort Ogden, Fla.
declared hat he passed through an
avalanche of frogs ten miles south OF
here recently, says a dispatch from
Arcadia, Fla. It had been raining ter
ribly for three days and the other day
there was almost a cloudburst in this
county, the rain coming down for four
hours in almost solid sheets. This man
started out and on the way he passed
through a section where for two miles
the frogs literally covered the ground
The road was covered and the ground
in the woods as far as could be seen
on either side. They were crushed be-
meath his horses feet as he rode along.
There were three kinds or sizes, most
of them being the green so-called stree
frogs" so abundant there. The small
ones were about-an inch long, the others
being two and three inches. There
were millions of them and the noise
they made was deafeuing. He brought
several along as specimens.
It's the general opinion here that the
cloudburst brought them. This is the
first time that this thing has ever hap
pened in this section and the people
are greatly excited over it. The man
stated that the frogs seemed dazed and
hardly moved as he came along.

Mr.. and Mrs. Octave Sylvestre arrived
at the 50th anniversary of welded life
Monday, and the occasion was observed b.
the worthy couple, and by their numerous
friends in a manner which, in time to
come, may well be looked back to with
pleasure.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sylvestre were married in
Canada, which is the birthplace OF both
of them, on Feb. %, 1S47. Mrs. Sylvestre's
maiden name was Marie Grepon. In 1864
they moved to this country, taking up
their residence in Central Falls, where
they have since lived. They were among
the first French settlers in the place and
have always been highly respected mem
bers of the community. They are the
parents of twelve children, most Of whom
were born In Canada, although the greater
part of them are now residents of Central
Falls. There were seven sons and five
daughters. Patrolman Oliver Sylvestre,
one of the members of the Central Falls
police force, is one of the sons. The others
are all well-known in the city.
