1000 ChIne.e DROWNED.

One Of the most appalling disasters ever
known IN central China is reported Vii
lagos were swept away by hundreds. Fully
100 600 people are ruined and homeless
They are on the river banks Two tbous-
and were drowned The general distress
is augmented 10y the spelling of the cereal
crops 10y floods or wet weather. Famine
will prevail next winter in the district,
which is populated by more than 200, 600
people. The latest reports say that thous-
ands will starve unless relief comes.
This calamity is chargeable partly to the
corruption of officials who pocketed the
money intended for repairs to elbow river
dykes. Two hundred Chinese were
drowned in East river, near Canton, by the
overturning of their vessel during a squat.

There was hearing in Jamaica Tuesday
before Il. q. Barber of BrattleborO, !. W.
Melendy of South Londonderry and +. l..
Hastings of Townshend commissioners,
on the petition of NJ. c. Skinner and others
against the town of Jamaica and the town
OF Winhall for the removal or discontin-
ance of the highway leading from the Tur-
key mountain road, so called in Jamaica,
to Harrison Burbee's mill in Winhall, a
distance of about four and one-half miles
The witnesses for the petitioners testified
that public necessity did not require that
the road be maintained, that the road was
in bad condition, the bridges were unsafe
and there was little travel over the road,
paobably not over one team day going
over it. The only opposition was by Mr..
Burbee, the owner of the mill, who thought
the reason why there was so little travel
over the road was that it had been allowed
to get into an unsafe condition. The road
was built in 1875 at the instance of Ezra
Pierce, who at that time owned the mill
now owned by Mr.. Burbee. The commits
sioners spent % days on the case before
the road was finally built. At the hearing
Tuesday Judge L. l.. Waterman appeared
for the petitioners, Burbee per Sc The
commissioners will file their report in a
few days The time has come when the
road must either be repaired or closed up.
