 Importance o Slesgh BeiLs.We notice many sleighs gliding noiselessy along without bes This is wrong n two-fold sense it is direct violation of posi- tive statute on this subject and every man who rides without them is liable 10 heavy penalty; they add chesriuness to winter. and give renewed spirits 10 the old jaied nag wao carries them besides wha. is vastly more important, it is precau,on against the needless loss of limhs, incon of wounds and often destruction of life. This forcbly impressed on us few since, by witnessing the wauon sacri- fee of venerable physician in a town adjoining Bos- ton; the evening dark, the roads smooth as a mirrov. and the passage of sleghs wholly noiseless unless provided with the bells the individual in ques- ton was cautiously crossing the streets wrapped up i4 h's cloak, when the approach of heavily loaded seigh from the country, came upon him unnutired {; he was struck down by the horses and tho sleigh pas sed directly his chest; he was immediately ,- ken mp scmseess, carried to his dwelling, and tn few hours was corpse! Here was a wantOn destruction Of valuable fife. grief to a numerous family, and the loss of high professional talent the community by the "npardo"abie neglect in not providing sleigh bells we sOmetlmes shudder when we think Of this event, and teeI indignant when notice salutary eau. ton srcgardsd.-NOrhen,PtO CONs ier.
