time but, in so far as Clinton was ea

cerned, it was in no way alarming.
Bi the he'rainfall was tremendous, the
streets ran like rivers and the sewers
couldn't begin to carry off the water.
•In fact, in certain quarters of the town
the walks were still under water at
nine o'clock. At about five -thirty
hydro went off and remained, of for
twenty -Lour hours.'
But if Clinton did not suffer from:
the wind it was far otherwise with

Mr. B. Waldron,whose orchard was
badly wrecked, severalelarge apple
trees, all winter fruit, by ill luck, were
uprooted and others broken off. His
house and barn - on the )tome farm es-
caped, although it is difficult to see
how they: did so, but the barn on an -
