Squirrel Colony.

Brandywine Manor has a large col.
ony of gray squirrels, but no shooting
Is permitted near the village, the
squirrels being the pets of all the resi-.
dents OF the place.
A number OF years ago the late vii.
liam Rettew, who resided In the vii.
lage, discovered a number OF squirrels
In the garrst OF his house and cared
for them. Then he became embued
with the idea Of protecting all the
squirrels in the vicinity. In the garret
he arranged neat nests for them. and
fed all that came. The number mul.
tiplied rapidly ard they gradually es-
tablished homes in the trees in the
woodland near his home.
The worst enemy OF the gray suuir.
rel is the red squirrel, and Mr.. Ret.
tew began war Of determination
against the latter, which he kept up
until his death. Then his son contin.
ued the work, and to-day there are
hundreds OF gray squirrels in the
woods for a mile around the village,
but few red ones. Every resident con.
siders 1t his duty to kill red squirrel
wherever found.
During the summer the animals
may be seen playing about the trees
In every direction. and they are often
found In the houses OF the residents.

VICTIM
OF THE RIVER

Much excitement was caused on
Monday at Port Deposit. by the find,
ing of the body OF a wel-drcsscd boy,
apparently six or seven years old,
which evidently had been washed down
the river by the flood
The little body was first discovered
by Mr. William McClenahan in the
river opposite the quarries. Coroner
Nelson was summoned and went over
to Port Deposit to investigate the case.
Nothing whatever was found to cStab-
IlNh the identity OF the little victim of
the river and there were no evidences
OF foul play. .An inquest was deemed
unnecessary and the body was turned
over to undertaken w. Clifton Jack
son Tor temporary burial All the
clothing was removed and a white
sheet was wrapped around the little
boy preparatory to his burial. which
was made at Asbury Cemetery. The
clothing was brought to Elkton. where
photographs were taken OF the differ
cnt articles and sent to the Philadel
phla Public Ledger, which paper pub
IlShcd them on "Wednesday in the hope
that the little victims identity might
thereby be established The clothing
consisted OF Norfolk jacket OF mixed
goods and pants OF the same material,
black stockings, black gartcrs. lace
shoes, SIZE =; red and white Strined
shirt and ribbed underwear OF the best
material The little fellow is 3 feet 6
inches tall, has light hair. cut or shaved

DEPOSITS
PERIL PAST

Port Deposits dreaded peril is past.
The feared flood has come and gone,
leaving loss and ruins in its wake
As was noted in the WHlG last
week, the anticipated breakup OF the
ice in the Susquchanna river occurred
shortly after midnight Thursday night
Of last week, and residents OF the town
were routed out at that untimcly hour
to protect their property and possibly
their lives a gorge formed and caused
the water to rise with great rapidity
until about o'clock Friday morning,
when it became higher in the upper
end OF the town than was ever known,
but i'll the lower part OF the town it did
not reach the point touched three
years ago by about one foot In Rock
Run and around McClenahan granite
QuarricS the flood was at its worst.
and in some places the water in the
streets was iriom IS to IS feet deep.
The ice is piled IS to 80 feet high in
places, and although the water has gone
down almost to its normal condition,
the town presents 4 iorlorn and de
pIorabIc aspect.
From the standpoint oi destructive
ness, this years flood is the worst
ever known. The railroad tracks were
covered irium one end OF the town to
the other. with ice and debris Oi al
most every description. which matter
was removed at great expense to the
company. Over $50 men were put to
work on Monday, and today trains are
running about as usual The railroad
station was almost demolished and a
large barge used for hauling sand was
carried bodily and deposited upon the
tracks
The individual property loss was the
greatest ever known. The Port De
