The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, July 26, 1889 Sherburne 7/26/1889 A terrible rain, the night of the 18th. The little rivulets were knee-deep, and in the valley hay was swimming around in the meadows. The water measured four inches in tubs and pails. The roads on the mountain were badly washed. The old women think the almanac-makers, this year, made a bit of a mistake by having dog days come a month earlier than usual. Mrs. MATHEW and two sons visited in town, recently; from Mt. Holly. Ever since the legislature commenced on the fish-law the trout have grown more scarce. It will compare favorably with the prohibition law; still, it is said every generation is growing wiser and wiser. What will happen next?
