THE FLOOD.
Many Stores on Main st., Obliged to
Move Goods.

The water in the river commenced
rising early yesterday morning and at
1890 had risen fully two feet and a
half. Up till four O'Clock the rise
was much faster: the consequence be-
ing that most of the stores ON the
west side of Main St., had from one
to two feet of water in the cellars.
Eorcwarned is forcarmcd and all
the merchants taking advantage of
the slowly rising water had their
goods removed in time, consequently
there was little damage done. Many
places on the east side Of the street
were also flooded owing to the back
water from the sewers and culverts.
Many of the stone sheds on Burn
hams meadow, Smiths meadow and
all the way down below North Barre,
especially in places that were low,
were completely submerged and travel
in these parts was out of the qies-
tion after five o'clock in the evening.
About midnight the water had re-
coded sufficiently to allow those on the
east side of Main street to clean up.
Although it is reported that there
is still considerable snow on the hills,
1T is not anticipated that any further
rise will occur, even If it does rain
heavily.

Upward of rs, 600 Gotten mills

4
operatives in New England are
receiving 10 per cent. more wages
this week than they did two weeks
ago. Prosperity is spinning a
merry tale in that part of the
world.
John Osler aged 10 years, met
with distressing accident on Sat.
urday afternoon, while coastine
down the steep hill leading to the
tannery. At the foot of this hill
is sharp turn and along the road
side is a stone wall to turn the
water course. 1t was at this point
Johnnie's sled became uncontrol-
able and riding as he was, lying

head. He was rendered very weak

rallying from what was considered
a marvellous escape from death.
While Ernest Lauer was driv-
ing from Eagles Mere on Saturday,

the sled to secure the lines but
succeeded only in gaining hold on
the box and before he could pull
himself into the sled he was
scraped along a bank at a curve in

about the head. He was obliged
to release himself and allow the
team to run. They were stopped
by G. F. Cheney OH a hill a mile
further on and before any further
damage was done.

throwing Mrs. Mead violently out
of the sled, striking the ground
with her head and injuring her SO
badly that both eyes were swollen
shut several days after the acci-
deut.
