[Damage due to severe rain]

The heaviest rain storm ever known in this vicinity visited it this week. It was an awful down pour Saturday night and Sunday, and a great deal of damage has resulted. Bridges and fences have been swept away, crops damaged, and the Northern railway track washed out a short distance south of this town. No trains got through here on Monday, but mails and passengers were transferred late in the evening. Much of the cut grain is said to be growing in the shock and the loss to farmers is inestimable.--[Thornbury News.
