Nature made New Years morning cool
by sending the temperature down TO with
in degree of zero, ard then the day was
made srtificially cool by hauling ice.
The amount harvested by each one In
this neighborhood was from 800 to 500
cakes, sixteen inches square, and from
one foot TO sixteen inches In thickness.
Every man living on farm ought to
have an ice house, and harvest enough
for his own use, whether he runs n
creamery or not. Ice water IL the great
est luxury, as well as the best beverage
We can have during the warm season,
and what some say about It's being IN
healthy, II drunk in moderate quantities,
is all nonsense.

Lorin Newell of Denmark, the Indian

last Tuesday, while on his way to visit

The January thsv got In early this
year, and the sleighing Is up until we
have some more snow. Even while this
is being transferred from brain TO paper
the running water sounds like young
Niagara. There was . beautiful rainbow
Tuesday evening - the storm ended.
That the loggers would rather have seen
snow there can be no doubt.
During the year 1850 the question
arose as TO whether IL ended the first half
If the century or commenced the last
half; and so important did Il finally be-
some as to get into the newspapers, was
discussed on the Sabbath, between meet
inSs; nor WAS the matter settled until
the 1851 almanac explained Il all out in
detail. And even then there were per-
sons who could never see it In the same
light. As the century draws near its
close, . similar question b liable to come
up, namely, a. to whether tie year 1900
ends the present century or begins the
10th. One eminent writer, touching the
subject, two weeks ago, says: but the
twentieth century isn't here yet, and
wont b for three more years." IL that

SHOWS FALLS.

The late rain caused the river to rise to
height OF four feet over the dam, and
good opportunity was afforded to OBJ
serve the effect Of the removal Of the
large point OF rock, which Was done last
summer by F. j. Wood, acting In con-
junction with the town and the Grand
Trunk. The water, rs usual, overlooked
the Rumford road, but when 1t reached
depth of about eight inches the ledge
was completely overlooked, and the river
vented itself over the falls In broad
sweep some 200 feet wide. The effect
was all that could be desired. Though
the conditions all pointed to u further
rise of the river, the outlet was so large
that all the water that came was carried
away. and the depth 10 the road did not
increase. II the town will now vote a
small sum to be expended In filling the
low part Of this road, grand improve
ment will be made. II some sixty feet
can be raised from six to fifteen inches,
Il would be well worth while. The road
Ia an important one, travelled by resi-
dents of all parts Of the town, and the
subject should be fairly considered.

which any governor might be proud.
The state, during his administration, has

yet its sifairs have been so prudently,
carefully, fesrlessly and ably managed,
that the administration Of Governor
Cleaves has attracted special attention,
