crease was 1913 per cent. below January

age in the proportional amount of liza bill

and it is believed that this year they will
amount to double that figure. Mr.. Car

After the Shower was Over,

Some novel sights were witnessed during
the storm last week. The waters running
across the lawn at the Unitarian church
carried the dead leaves, etc, to the corner
next the Salmond house, where they lodged
and formed dam against the picket fence,
about foot high The water running over
this dam and between the pickets made a
novel spectacle. A milkman hearing of this
said he could beat it for novelty, for barb
ed wire fence acted as dam in his neigh
borhood and saved bridge. A three
strand barbed wire fence extended across
the stream a short distance above the
bridge The wires caught the ice which was
rushing down upon the bridge and held it in
check all day. The bridge received nothing
except the water and the flow of that was
materially checked by dam the face of
which consisted of three strands Of wire,
Had this ice come down upon the bridge it
would probably have carried out both abut-
men5s, and completely wrecked the struc-
tire. The bridge stood during the day, but
when the water subsided it was found that
the roadbed was damaged. 1t was over
hauled and repaired at small expense the
next day.
The large cuvert near the house of Joseph
B. Wilson on Northport avenue could not
carry off the volume of water coming down
from the fields above and it damned up and
flowed over the road, carrying with it cak es
of ice at least three inches thick The road
way was also flooded between the two
houses on the Read far IN. The oldest inhab-
when there was so much water standing on
the low places or flowing along the natural
depressions. Lakes were formed where
water is rarely seen even in the spring-time.
