These two rivers join about two miles above the town. It is quit«i an impressive sight to see this lai-ge river, about half a mile wide, and in some places more, block up with ice and rise about 12 feet as it- did this season. Large blocks of ice between 3 and 4 feet thick and what would hz 50 and 75 ft square would pile up. We stood and watched it for two hours. Finally it all gave way. In a few hours more it woud have flooded the low part of the town. The spring is carli.jr than usual, seeding is well on the way, some hav- ing over 100 acres in. The land is in good condition. . S.
