The slight rains the first of the week were very welcome after the fifty days of drought, with the exception of one or two thunder showers. The rainfall in this vicinity was somewhat less than is reported in other sections of southern New England. The rain cleared the at. mosphere from the heavy smoke that en. veloped this section of the country the last half of last week, caused by the ex. tensive forest fires, especially in Maine and New York. While we have been having an extended drought in the eastern part of the United States, the valleys oi the Missouri and Mississippi have beer visited by the worst floods of many years
 causing large loss of life and property, caused by heavy rainfalls.

to record of startling nature, more

belonging respectively to Jefferson
Watson and Mr.. Lamb, were lost

The trin was taken to shoot ducks.
A goodly number had been bagged
and the party was congratulating
themselves on their success. Sudden

river. right in the course of the boat
Mr.. Leslie was at the oars and Mr..
Lamb at the tiller. There was a
misunderstanding between the two
which side thev should take of the
rock and one pulled one way while
the other steered another with the re-
suit that the boat hit the rock broad
side overturning and spilling its oc-
cupants out into the river.
Mr.. Leslie went clean to the bottom
of the river. so he declares. His
general buovancv brought him to the
top at last and he caught on the ND
turned boat. 1t was finally righted
and the party wet to the skin and all
