A correspondent of the Burlington
News writes: In the recent accounts of
the high water in the Lamoille, Winooski
and Otter Creek valleys | find nothing
that will compare with the great July
flood of 1881 as | recollect 1t. At that
time there was a constant succession of
thunder showers for nearly or quite a
week with an occasional let up and out
burst of hot sunshine, aud if Noah's Ark
had come along there were a good many
of us boys who would have applied for
passage. As it was. we climbed to the
highest places we could fluid and watched
the wrecks of barns and houses, fences,
hay-stacks and all sorts of debris com
ing down the WinOoski river. | think
there was not bridge, or scarcely a
mill-dam or mill, left standing on the
river, from its source to its mouth.
The Philadelphia Museum and School
of Industrial art is ANXIOUS to secure the
Rockingham monument, which was made
in Bennington about 1850 by G. w. Fen
ton. The monument has stood for 10
years on the porch of the house now oc-
cupied by Albert Walker and Henry d..
Fillemore. 1t is ten feet high and is
made in four sections. The lower is
composed of mixed clay, known as lava
ware; the second of pottery covered
with cOlored glaze. Above this is bust
of Mrs. Fenton surrounded by eight col
umns of different colOred clays; and
these columns support figure OF wo-
man holding in one hand a child, to
whom she is presenting a Bible. The
monument was on exhibition In the
Crystal Palace in New York in 1853 and
attracted a good deal of attention.

Corners and Robert Raycroft, quarry
men at Littlejohn's at East Barre, went
to the blacksmith shop to repair parts of
the derrick, now in construction. Ray
croft was welding a piece of steel, when
a spark from the anvil flew, and then
there was a deafening explosion. Con-
ners was blown through the side of the
building, with his clothes on fire. He
rushed into the water to put out the
flames. He was burned badly about the
neck and shoulders. Ravcroft was
thrown backward and received slight
burns on his neck. The men did not
know that there were any explosives in
the building. Who put it there OF how
much was there, nobody knows. The
men were taken into the house of Robert
Raycroft and doctors summoned. Roth

A GREAT LANDSLIDE.
The storms of Last Week Bring an Ava
lanche Down Lincoln Mountain. -

The storms of Last Week Bring an Ava
Ianche Down Lincoln Mountain. =
The tremendous rain storm last week
was responsible for the largest and most
extensive landslide ever known in Yer
mont, and doubtless it has never been
exceeded in any of the New England
states. The slide occurred from the
mountain in South Fayston, commencing
nearly at the summit, laundering and
crashing to the foot, carrying devasta-
ton and destruction before it.
The slide is the most extensive ever
known in the state, if not in New Eng
land. The Montpelier Argus says the
Wiley slide. which is pointed out to
every tourist through the White noun
tains, is Insignificant beside it. The slide
started near the top of the mountain. a
short distance from the slide of 20 years
ago, at two different points, forming a
junction 100 rods from the starting place.
The immense mass of earth, stone and
trees crashed down the mountain side, a
distance of three miles, and continued a
mile further after reaching level ground.
1t Just missed several dwellings which
stood in its path, and crossed the road
between the residences of Hollis Mahuron
and Julius Hickory. 1t swept the noun
tain bare of earth for distance of three
miles, and ranged from three to 30 rods
in width.
The slide left a path from GO to 100
feet deep IN places, and its extent can be
realized only when it is considered that
it swept the mountain side clear to the
solid rock, and that acres and acres of
great forest trees were conveyed to the
valley below. 1t crossed the highway
between the residences of Hollis Mahur-
on and Julius Hickory, stopping at the
bed of the river and forming an immense
dam. The river and all other streams
in the valley were higher than had been
before known since the freshet of 1919.
Great crowds visited the scene after the
slide. They found mineral paint of
different colors and boulders of hundreds
of tons weight which had been swept
many rods. a nice trout brook was
wiped OIL of existence.

The butter market is steady on strictly

Pntrnnizing Homo industry.

1t is announced that the contract for
furnishing the iron work for a new Ma
sonic temple to be erected in Cedar Rap
ids, Ia, have been awarded to a local
iron worker, the Cedar Rapids Gazette
takes occasion to remark that local in
dustries should be patronzed whenever
possible. 1t says in support of the
statement Such a job as this means a
great deal to the city in both business
and labor. 1t means the expenditure of
Sl.S00 in wages per month at the iron
foundry. 1t means the employment of
several more Cedar Rapids workmen.
1t means that the money contributed by
Cedar Rapids men to build here a mag
nifcent Masonic temple will be kept at
home and will be turned back into the
channels of local trade.

WEATHER-CROP REPORT.


An Ohicial Statement of the Results of
Last Weeks Floods.
The department of agriculture sends
out the following report for the week
ending Monday, July 10:
New England was visited on Tuesday
and Wednesday, the 18th and 18th, by a
rain and wind storm of an exceptionally
violent character, resulting in more or
less destruction to the newly-grown
crops, fruits, etc, not to mention the
damage in other directions.
The loss III those sections which bore
the bruut of the storm will amount to a
large sum, although it is found that first
estimates were Overdrawn. Reports in
dictate that the storm was most severe
along the valley of the Connecticut river
in southern New England, but its force
was also very great throughout the
northern states of the district. Eastern
Massachusetts and Rhode Island. while
escaping the heavy precipitation, sus
tanned a furious gale. The remarkable
feature of the storm was the tremendous
dOwnpOur of rain. Such torrents of water
that fell over most of New England
have seldom. if ever. been experienced
over so large portion of this territory.
Special reports rendered to this office
by spOndents show that crops on
highlands suffered less than those on
lOwlands, and that the largest part of
the direct money loss will be charged to
highways, bridges, etc, rather than to
crops.
Hay was the most seriously damaged
of all crops, especially on meadows and
intervales, where the rising streams car
ried of quantities that was being cured,
while thar upput ic 81 II Hold with dirt t,J
lodged that it is almost worthless.
Nearly all growing crops will right
themselves. This is particularly true of
corn and potatoes, which have probably
sustained little permanent injury and
have made very good showing since
the rain. Oats were badly beaten down
and Will not right up well, so that in
many cases they will be cut for fodder.
Considerable tobacco was damaged in
Connecticut and in western Massachu-
sets, but a comparatively small acreage
is total loss. The high winds wrought
havoc to fruit and shade trees apples,
both late and early, were blown off, also
peaches and pears.
Since the middle of last week the
weather has been very favorable and
everything has pushed forward rapidly.
In Maine wonderful increase is noted
in the growth of grass corn and pota-
toes. Haying is, in general, under way,
with an average to a heavy yield report
ed, according TO location. Lowlands are
too wet in New Hampshire for hOeing
laying is nearly completed in Rhode
Island and southeastern Massachusetts,
but in Connecticut it will be much de
layed on lOwlands. There are very de-
cded symptoms of potato rot in portions
of the last named state.
