woke up this morning TO find the
river road flooded to the depth Of
over three feet. Geo. Eastman who
works at the scale plant, was about
the first man to come down the
pike and also the last. He found
the water so deep that he had to
stand up in his wagon and made
the somewhat hazardous trip with
much difficulty. The others went
round the hill road bv the Erastus
Hallett place and did not attempt
to do any fording.
The brook in the Center village
by the blacksmith shop was more
than filled by the water chat back
cd up from the river and the gar
dens adjacent to the brook are
flooded. Many of the cellars along
the street are filled with water
and this has occasioned some per-
sonal loss and much inconven-
fence.
In St. Johnsbury village the
water from Passumpsic river has
overlooked on to Passumpsic
street and those going to work
