The Newsdealer, published at Hyde
park by Sawyer u Carpenter, appears in
Il bran new dress. 1t is live paper,
and works hard for the interests of La
noble county.
The Newsdealer is little rough ON
certain practice which is getting to he Il
nuisance elsewhere than in Eden: Last
Saturday eve, as Mr.. c. A. Grant came
out of the postoflice at Eden Mills. and
was coming down the street, he was run
into by four boys ON Il sled, and struck
with great violence, and was picked up
seDSclcSs. lie was taken to Mr. SCOTS
store, and restored to consciousness. and
after IA little he thought he could 90
home. Mr.. Edison Burnham went ont
with him TO assist him TO get his team,
and while going down the street he came
near being run upon again, and but for
he aid OF Mr.. Burnham would have
been. Little Saul Clark''-a tender
youth about 30 years of age, and some
thing over SIX feet in perpendicular alti-
;ude-noIhin" daunted by the accident,
was coa>ting down with great velocity.
and Mr.. Grant, being deaf did not hear
him. but Mr.. Burnham succeeded i'll
getting Grant out of the road Just in sea-
son to escape the second injury. Mr.
Grant is severely injured, and probably
will not he able 10 work during the win
ter. We commend the >cIcctmcn OF
Eden to enforce the statute against such
goslins rs this Saul Clark" The 9TH
erS concerned were boys and need patcr-
nal admonition.

hurt 1t was thought for a time that
his injuries might prove fatal, but he is
now said To be %ettin" along well.
