The recent heavy thaw caused the river
to rise quite rapidly. Sunday afternoon
the water was very high and between five
and six o'clock the ice on the upper mill
pond gave way. The ice on the lower
pond was so firm that there was not pres
sure enough to start it and very soon the
course of the swollen current was turned
into the meadow, owned by M. M. Davis,
where it is feared great damage will be
done before the water subsidies. The
only buildings which suffered much dam
age were the feed store and shed, owned by
ii. o. Ward. The shed was ruined by
the large cakes of ice and for a time it
was feared that the store would share the
same fate, but fortunately no serious dam
age was done. The people of the village
were much excited and turned ont quite
freely in the rain to watch the rising
water. The lower floor of the creamery
was flooded and all the butter had to be
moved. Many cellars were filed and at
j. w. Taylor's store everything of value
had to be removed from the basement
The work of pulling down the ruined shed
was begun Monday morning and by the
aid of ropes pulleys, etc, it was soon
hauled from the water Nearly 200 cords
of lockwood were piled around the
creamery and for time it was feared that
the greater part of this would be swept
away, but it was nearly all saved. Fortu-
nately no serious accidents happened, bu-
II. o. Ward had chance to test tht
temperature of the icy water. On Mon
day morning while on the opposite side of
the river, looking to see what could be
done to relieve the jam, he slipped into
the water up to his arms, but was quickly
rescued and thken home, The water con-
tinued to rice till past midnight Sunday
when it gradually began to lower, and all
danger is now thought to be over.
