A Cloud Burst on MI. Mansfield, Do
ing Considerable Damage.

Cambridge and vicinity last Thurs
day afternoon was visited by two of
the heaviest thunderstorms ever known
in that section. The first occurred
about | / O'Clock in the forenoon, last
ING about an hour and another about
o'clock in the afternoon, during
which time cloud burst on the north
side of Mansfield mountains, precipi-
tating floods of water into the valley,
through which the Seymour river
runs, changing the usually quiet
stream into raging torrent of muddy
water filled with logs, trees, bridges
and fences, presenting solid wall of
water against the abutments of the
several bridges which span the stream
at this place, undermining the same,
causing one end of the bridge to drop
several feet and fears are entertained
that il will float out into the Lamoille
river. A bridge over Gidding's brook
between Cambridge and Fairfax was
washed away.
During the storm the house of Hem
nv Hooper in the north part of the
town was struck by lightning. The
bolt entered the chimney, passing
down the pipe and out at the stove,
rendering unconscious Miss Bertha
Spaulding, a domestic. Medical aid
was quickly summoned and she was
brought to consciousness. The dam
age to the building was slight.

for the country. One brother, A. {.
Jewett, was colonel of the 10th YER
mont regiment, and another, Jesse A.,
served his country well and in his
honor the g. A. Il. post in Swanton
is named.
Erastus w. Jewett before the war
was occupied in land surveying and
in various enterprises, but when the
9Th regiment was formed he enlisted
and was commissioned second lieu

The next year he was made first
Of the same company. In
1868 he also served as engineer officer
on the staff of Gen. Wistar. At his
own request he was relieved and went
with his own regiment to North Car

Lieut.. Jewett in 1891 for gallant con-
duct in defending a bridge at New
port barracks, North Carolina Feb. 2,
1864.
Since the war he has been engaged
IN various successful enterprises and
IS at present in company with his son
manufacturing BUCKLES and wire goods

From the beginning Col. Jewett
has been wide awake q. A. II. man.
He has taken lively interest in the
post at his home and is rarely absent

be forced upon the attention Of the
Republican majority that will be any
thing but pleasing. Less than four
months ago this Republican majority
adjourned Congress after. having spent
more than four months Of special session
in leglslating to meet deficit in reve-
nues. And now when Congress comes to
meet again the treasury deficit looms up
greater than ever. The first three months
under the Dingley tariff showed deficit
in revenues of nearly $30,0OO,000, and
Congress will meet with a deficit in rev.
enues, for the first five months of the
fiscal year, of something like $45,000,000
staring it in the face. And all but the
first twenty-four days Of this fiscal year
were passed under the Dingley tariff.
So the facts as they stand are much
against the new tariff as revenue
measure AS a revenue measure it ap-
pears specifically as a dismal failure,
for the monthly deficits have been built
up at a greater rate since the passage
Of this act than before.

oh! the Happy Hunters

Two OF our leading sports left for
Waimanalo, in the Eva district, on
the train last Saturday to shoot
ducks, which they had heard we're
plentiful. They we're armed with
enormous bags for the game, besides
guns, dogs, buhsch powder ($l.00
WORTHY and etceteras, The "boss"
of the land where the ducks were to
be slaughtered had kindly permit
ted them to use shed in his cattle
pen as a resting place. The boys
were happy in anticipation of the
expected envious remarks of the
other sports who didn't get feather
last week on the "other" side, when
the result OF their shoot should be
announced.
When they arrived at their destin-
alton they made thorough inspec-
ton OF the surrounding country
(and the bottled etceteras), leaving
the bags and the buhach powder at
the she'd. They hadn't gone far be-
fore they were confronted with the
wild cattle, for which the pen is
used, aud which adopted a rather
hostile attitude. One specially an
noyed calf made break for one of
our happy hunters, and in spite OF
rheumatism and corpulence he was
soon perched in one of the few trees
still left in the pen. The calf looked
Disguised, gave up his victim, and
the two sports retired safely to the
shed where, to their horror, they
found that the millions Of mosqui-
toes which have possession Of the
pond, had chewed up all the buhaeh
powder. The etceteras were there
and the boys tried to take nap
hanging over the rafters and making
themselves comfortable indeed
There was no fear of oversleepina
themselves, and they were at the
pond at the proper time ready fol
the ducks.
Two happy (0 hunters, who look
ed as if they had recently passed
through a smallpox hospital, re
turned yesterday with four a
| ducks. Try again, boys.

Ar THE CATHEDRAL.
The Service OF the United Congre-
cations of St Andrews With
Choral Melody

Choral Melody
After last evenings combined SER
vice at st. Andrews Cathedral a
worshipper at that church must al
most wish that the evening service
should henceforth be composed OF
both congregations.
The choir of fifty voices with the
crowded church gave to the service
a more devotional aud spontaneous
character than has been heard in
the sacred edi6ce for many long
day. 1t encouraged the congrega
tion to join in the melodies OF the
familiar hymns and gave an i'm
pulsive and hearty tone to the wor-
ship making it more congregational
in its result.
The officiants were the Revs. Us.
borne, Kitcat, Macintosh, Byrde
and Thomkins, while the Revs. Davis
and Judd were in clerical robes.
The service was beautifully intoned
by Rev. V. ii Kitcat and Wray Tay-
lor presided at the organ with more
than usual ability giving the choir
every assistance and rendering them
confident of their well-trained
powers.
The sermon was preached by the
Rev. Thomkins, who selected as his
theme the widows mite and the
necessity OF personal sacrifice in
religion and not the mere contribut-
ing from ones superabundance.
His language was plain and simple
but we'll chosen and touchingly
eloquent. His delivery was clear,
distinct and remarkably pleasing.
The offertory was for the Diocesan
Fund of the district but unfortun-
ately was not as large as at last
years gathering; it only amounting
to, in coin, S66.70. This may be ac-
counted for somewhat by the fact
| that there we're a number OF
strangers from other churches in
the congregation, who having en-
joyed the musical services and the
sermon left before the plate" came
round. Perhaps it will be wiser foI
the church authorities to adopt the
practice of a neighboring congrega
ton and to send the bag around in
the middle of the service on another
occasion.
