HIGHEST EVER KNOWN.
Many Massachusetts Towns Inundated
by the Freshet.

Great Damage at Orange and AthOI---
Situation Serious at HIIIers falls for
TIme---DFOwnings at South Fitch
burg and Exeter.
In Springfield and vicinity the storm be-
gan early Monday morning and continued
nearly AZ hours. The total amount of the
ra fall was IL inches. In Holyoke
some of the streets were flooded to depth
OF four or five feet. Only one train was
run between Holooke and West6eld Tues
day on account of a washout 1000 feet long
at Springdale, near Westfield.
Willimansett, the seventh ward of Chico
pee, was inundated. While no human
lives were lost, there were some narrow es-
capes. More than 200 chickens were
drowned, two dams and two bridges were
swept away, several barns were carried
skyward and fences, trees and sidewalks
were uprooted and undermined. All told
more than $4,000 damage was done in
Willimansett, which place appears to have
suffered most from the storm.
The breaking up of the ice caused two
big jams at the Starrett pond in Athol. 1t
was feared that the factory bridging the
river would be carried away, but the Jams
broke up after a short time and the ice
passed under the building, although tons
OF ice pounded the factory so that move
able objects were thrown around in great
confusion.
The freshet was one of the worst in 80
years at North Adams and the loss from
Hooded cellars will amount to thousands of
dollars. BlackingtOn, Adams, Williams
town and all northern Berkshire suffered
in the same way, and business was at
standstill throughout the day.

Damage by High Water.

Ice In Connecticut Took out Pier
Building ut Head OF the Canal and
Canteen clubs Boat House.
The severe rain of Monday and Tuesday
caused the Connecticut to rise seven feet,
and the ice to break up. The ice took out
a part of the new pier, building at the head
of the canal the boom across the river at
that place and the Canteen clubs boat
house. A large quantity of ice went into
the canal, causing most of the mills to
shut down Wednesday.
The Saxtons river, which is usually a
very quiet little stream, became torrent,
and took out the supports which were in
place for the iron bridge for the electric
road, and the pile bridge near the Barber
farm. Those who knew the habit of that
river of rising very suddenly, with Sc
we're rain fall, had feared that the pile
bridge would not be able to stand against
it, 1t is said that "Bought wit is best, if it
is not bought too dear" and it is better to
buy it now, than after the road is in opera
ton.
1t was feared here Wednesday afternoon
that trouble might be caused by the giving
away of the ice jam in the river between
Charlestown and South, Charlestown, but
the thaw seems to have "caught cold" and
no fear need be felt of that now. Between
here and Westminster some places in the
highway were impossible.

The freshet was one of the worst ever
known at Fitchburg, Mass, and nearly all
of the mills and factories along the Nashua
river were shut down. Siona Martin, -.
daughter of Athanase Martin, was drowned
at South Fitchburg. The Martin family
lived in an isolated house 100 yards from
the road. The house was surrounded by
water, and Mrs. Martin and seven children
watched the rising tide with fear. About
1920 Tuesday forenoon the girl put on a
pair of rubber boots and started to notify
her father, who was at work In a factory
some distance away. When about 800 feet
from the house, in sight of her mother, the
girl stepped into strong current, fell and
was carried away. Several men at the
Falulah paper mill saw the girl fall, and
ran into the stream to assist her, but they
were unable 10 get any trace of her In the
strea %, which was constantly growing
deeper and stronger. Three policemen Sc
cured boat and carried Mrs. Martin and
six children to place of safety.

obliged to stop for time. The chiefest

1..hIs., Union RECEIVED $50.

The annual apron sale, with chicken
pie supper, of the ladies' union of the
Congregational church, was held in the
parlors and vestry of the church Wednes-
day evening. After supper cantata,
'sDalikins Flat" was given by the children.
The cantata was given Christmas evening
and so much enjoyed that the request was
made that it be repeated at some later
time. There was a good attendance
through the evening. The gross receipts
were about Ss5, and as the expenses were
small the ladies will realize a goodly sum
to add to their parsonage fund.
A. N. Swain invited all the children of
the primary department of the Sunday
school of the church, under IA years of
age, to partake of ice cream and cake at

Funeral OF DIR. Pe,tenr,II.

The funeral of DR.. E. II. Pettengill.
whose death Thursday night was recorded
i'll The Phoenix last week, drew together a
very large and sympathetic company at his
late residence. Ten physicians were pres
ent, also a dozen Grand Army men and
people from the adjoining towns, all drawn
together under a feeling of sympathy for
the family as well as of individual loss,
Mrs. Campbell, Mrs. Richardson, the
doctors Bible class and the Friday club
sent beautiful flowers.
The family of the departed were all
present, and with them the Doctors two
brothers, John and Samuel Pettengill of
Grafton, and the two sons of the latter.
also Henry Lane and sister from Keene,
The village pastors officiated.
At the cemetery the Grand Army ritual
was recited with much feeling.
Dr. Pettengill became in 1867 a member
of the Congregational church of this viii
lage. 1t has been his habit through all the
years to attend the public services of the
church and to share actively in its life and
work. He was a member of the choir. A
teacher in the Sunday school and the
church treasurer at the time of his. death.
He was also trustee of the town library.
The doctor was public spirited. He loved
his country and took deep interest in the
welfare of the community. He found It
hard at little past three score years to Law
down his work in behalf OF his family, the
church and the state, and especially hard
at last to decline the calls of his patients,
to which, year after year he had been wont
to respond.
Beside the feeling of personal loss in the
death of Dr. Pettengill, there is also wide
appreciation felt in the thought of his
abundant labors as the trusted and un-
wearied physician.

short time in which so large a structure
was completed it will strike them in the
same way, if we mistake not.
