The river began to break up on Satur-
day and Sunday afternoon the ice began
running freely in small fragments, in a
long and seemingly unending procession
to the music of its own tinkling bells
made by the ever crumbling edges of the
crystal cakes as they crowded each other
on their hurting way to their own fun
erals. The river is just about bank full,
that is, up to the first bench, and immed-
lately after the ice began to run began to
fall little. AS it now stands there is no
danger of high water this spring and
flood condition will have to come from
rains yet to fall if such a thing is to be.
| The Winchester House IS again open
to the travelling public. Mr.. Joseph
Brandon is the new proprietor, and Mr..
Dan Reynolds, who was with Landlord
Buie. will look after the Office. Every
body will be glad to hear that the hotel
is again open under such good hands.
The new landlord promises to run the
house in every respect that it may again
equal its old time popularity and pres
tige, and we hope the new management
will receive every encouragement and
achieve the success that it deserves. We
understand that A. Bnie, who held con-
tract for deed for the building, has as
signed the contract to Mrs. Jos. Ryan, of
St. Vincent, who is therefore the present
owner of the property.
