ICE JAM IN BRATTLEBORO.

The warm weather and rain of Dec II
broke up the ice in the lower part Of
MILESTONE brook and the blocks formed
a jam which extended from the dam near
the Vinton paper mill in Brattleboro nearly
to the stone crusher. The jam caused the
water in the brook to rise until it stood
several feet in the Holden & Martin lum-
Der yard and flooded the engine room in
Leslie Smiths wood working shop on Flat
street. The work of breaking up the jam
began Monday morning and 1t was found
necessary to use dynamite to accomplish
it. Several charges were exploded on the
ice Just in the rear of Emerson block,
the concussion breaking out several panes
Of glass in the rear windows of the build
