the banks very generally carried down stream. The office of the writer of these pages was then in Langdon's great brick building on the corner. His boarding- place was at W. W. Cadwell's, on the op- posite side of the street, and a pretty cor- rect idea of the depth of the water may be had in the fact, which we distinctly re- member, that at noon, when the water had attained its height, Mr. Cadwell came for us in a skiff, and running it into the entry- way leading to the offices on the second floor, took us in from the third stair, and rowing us across the street and into the front hall, landed us on the fourth stair leading to the chambers of his own house, where the cooking for the family on that day could only be done.
The second, and still greater, of these floods, was July 29, 1830, when the water rose full 6 inches higher than in the last, and ran over the window-sills and into the lower rooms of several houses around the head of State street. The two lower bridges over the Branch were again swept away. The office building of Joshua Y. Vail, on State street, was floated off, and lodged in a low branching tree near the old Episcopal church, from which it was afterwards lowered down, and drawn back to its old stand. Two other small buildings, standing near the bank of the Branch, were carried down stream, and wholly broken up in the rapids below the village. Much damage was occasioned by this great flood, but it was marked by the still greater calamity of the loss of life. Nathaniel Bancroft, of Calais, a middle- aged farmer of considerable property, was drowned. We then resided near the east- erly end of Main street, on the swell where Carlos Bancroft now lives. Towards noon, at the height of the water, we threw to- gether a few plank in the edge of the water which came to the foot of that rise, about Io rods from the Loomis house, near the residence of Dr. Charles Clark, mounted our rude raft with a setting pole, and sailed through the entire length of Main street to the end of the Arch Bridge over the river. When about midway on the voyage, Mr. Bancroft, with one or two

others from the same quarter, who had come down to see the flood, rushed past us on the sidewalk, which was covered with less depth of water, all evidently much ex- cited by the novelties of the scene, and, regardless of a wetting, making their way through the water as fast as possible toward the corner, where the greatest damage was expected to occur. As we were nearing the old Shepard tavern stand, a pile of wood at the north-easterly end of the barn began to rise, tumble and float away in the strong, deep current, which here made from the street through by the way of the barn towards the confluence of the branch and the river. At this junc- ture, the luckless Bancroft, who had just reached a dry place before the barn door, and stood eating a cracker, rushed down into the water with the idea of saving some of the wood, and not being aware how rapidly the ground fell off here, was in a moment beyond his depth, and sunk to rise no more. When his body was re- covered, 20 or 30 minutes afterwards, his mouth was found full of half-masticated cracker, life gone beyond all the arts of resuscitation. It is probable he was stran- gled at the outset, and, as others have been known to do, died almost instantly.
There have been numerous partial over- flows of the streets at various times, filling up grocery and other cellars, and doing injuries to bridges, mills and other build- ings, by sudden winter floods and the con- sequent breaking up and damming of the ice in the streams, within, above and below the village. Among these was one that suddenly occurred in February, 1825, in the middle of a night preceded by a re- markably warm and heavy rain. There was a ball at the Union House that night, and as John Pollard, of Barre, with his sisters and others, were returning from the ball, their team became completely imprisoned on a little knoll in a road about a mile above the village, by mons- trous blocks of the disrupting ice of the river, which were being driven with amaz- ing force into the road immediately above and below. The party escaped to the hills, and the ladies waded through the | passable. The depth of the water in the
snow, two feet deep, to a house half a mile distant, while the team was not extracted till the next morning. Another sudden breaking up of the ice occurred in January, 1840, in the evening, after a warm, rainy afternoon. The ice, broken up in the river above, was, under the impetus of the rising water and a strong south wind, driven through the whole length of the mill pond, three-fourths of a mile, in about Io minutes. It was suddenly brought to a stand at the narrowing of the channel at the Arch Bridge, when half the whole river was thrown over all the lower part of Barre street, and for a short time all the buildings on that part of the street were in imminent danger of being swept away. Before much damage was done, however, Mr. Langdon's mill dam was crushed down and forced away beneath the tre- mendous pressure of the ice above, when the river at once fell back into its ordi- nary channel.
Of the several great floods that have oc- cured in town that of Oct. 4, 1869, was the greatest of them all. On Saturday even- ing, Oct. 2, a severe rain storm set in, and continued to pour with scarcely a moment's interruption until the middle of Mon- day afternoon. The river banks began to overflow about 3 o'clock in the afternoon on Monday. About this time the Sand Bottom bridge across the Branch above the dam was carried away, It passed the Foundry bridge without doing any dam- age, but the Academy bridge was carried off when this one struck it. The Union House bridge also gave away when struck by these. As these neared the Post-office bridge great alarm was felt for the safety of the Rialto block. Fortunately the build- ing was strong enough to withstand the con- cussion received from them when they struck the bridge. The only damage done was the raising up of the upper side of the bridge several feet. The water continued to rise very rapidly until about 6.30 P. M., when it was at its greatest height, remain- ing at this point until about 8 o'clock, when it began to fall. At 5 o'clock on the following morning the streets were again

streets and around the village, except on the high lands, when at its greatest height. was from two to six feet, our streets in many parts of the village having been raised up from one to two feet since that time. At the head of State street and on Main it was about three and a half feet, down State street below the Post-office bridge from five to six feet. In the bar room of the American house the water was some two and a half feet in depth, it being over the top of the cook stove in the kitchen. Many ludicrous scenes were witnessed in the attempts to save swine, cattle and horses. A large number of hogs under the barns at the American house were first removed into the bar room and then carried to the chambers above. The Washington County court being in session at the time, the court officials, lawyers, jurymen. etc., were con- veyed to their boarding places in a boat by Mr. James R. Langdon, the boat rowing into the eourt house yard, and taking them from the steps. Among those who had narrow escapes from drowning were Mr. James G. Slafter of this town, and Mr. Tucker of Northfield, who in attempting to get from the depot to the Pavilion, got on to Mr. Dewey's hay scales, which were floating down the street. Failing to man- age their unwieldly bark, they were carried down the street as they were, being drawn into the current, but saved themselves by catching the limbs of the trees near where Mr. Badord now liyes, from which they were saved by a boat.
A very laughable scene was that of a boat load being conveyed from the court house to the Pavilion. When opposite that ho- tel, the boat struck the top of a hitching post as it was passing over it, and cap- sized. They all scrambled to their feet and waded into this hotel. At 6 o'clock, the Railroad bridge was carried off. It floated down stream whole, taking one of the large trees off on the bank of the river just below E. P. Jewett's. In striking the center pier of the railroad bridge at Jewett crossing, it swung around into the field on the north side, and there remained until taken to pieces and brought back. A very
large amount of loss was caused by the damage to the carpets and furniture in the residences and to the goods in the stores, sufficient time not being given for their re- moval. A large amount of wood was lost by floating away, cords of it passing down through the streets. The town suffered loss to the extent of several thousand dol- lars by the loss of bridges, and nearly all of the plank street crossings flowing away. The brick side walks in town were ruined, the sand being washed out from under them, and the bricks being piled in heaps about. There was no loss of life. All of the boats that were to be had were made available by the removing of goods and persons to places of safety. The water was estimated to be about 18 inches higher than it was in 1830.

REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIERS,
who lived and died in this town :
Col. Jacob Davis, aged 75. Eliakim D. Persons, died in 1846, aged 81. Estis Hatch, died in 1834, aged 86. Luther King, died in 1842, aged 88. Aaron Gris- wold, died in 1847, aged 95. Ziba Wood- worth, died in 1826, aged 66, and his broth- er, Joseph Woodworth, the date of whose death is unknown.
Some 16 other early settlers of this town were also Revolutionary soldiers, but lived in that part of the town now East Mont- pelier. Doubtless there were others who resided here, but I am unable to learn their names.
For Soldiers of 1812, see page 298.
MEXICAN WAR.
Four soldiers enlisted from this town, and served through the war, nearly two years, in the 9th reg't U. S. vols. :- Rich- ard Dodge, Daniel Cutler, Luman Grout, William Guinan. Cutler left the regiment in Mexico, and never returned. Dodge, Grout and Guinan served through the Re- bellion. Guinan died a few years ago, and Dodge and Grout are now both living in town.
