Sheldon. Dec. 15.-The water in the Mis-
ssquoi river is the highest it has been
in years and considerable damage has re-
suited There are two waShoUts of the
St. Johnsbury and Lake Champlain rail-

what the damage will be repaired to-day.
The highway bridge at St RoX village
was carried away this morning and dur
ing the day tve stacks of hay were seen
floating down stream.
The rise of water was most pronounced
between the hours Of 10 and | o'clock to-
day, the river going up three feet during
that time. From / o'clock until o'clock
the water rose at the rate of six inches
per hour At that time the highest point
was reached and the river seemed to be
lowering slightly Several houses and
barns are flooded and Joseph Gallup and
+. NJ Reed were obliged to Nacate their
homes. The COW barn of w. II. Dunton
was flooded and A. head of cattle had to
remain out of doors all night.

Of our crossing of the Jordan when the

crossing What you and need most to

about death If our life has been what it
ought to be. We will die right if we live

Some one standing by advised him to

but the man who has been enabled to en-
deavor to live well for fourscore years

new and all our experiences are new.
Our life is one long discovery Of things
that we did not know and could not

that gratitude is the rarest of virtues.
You used to suppose that if you do
kindness it will he fully appreciated and

pcrience, as you could have found out in
