ACCIDENTS Yesterday afternoon q
boy named John Ryan, aged about 10
years, while engaged in Stacking cars in
the north end of the depot yard in this
place, had his left foot caught under a
brake beam as the cars came together, and
did not succeed in extricating it until
the shin bone was broken in two places.
The injured boy was picked up at once
and carried to the Office Of DR.. Allen,
where his leg was properly dressed by the
Doctor, after which he was conveyed to
his home in West Rutland. This acci-
dent should serve as warning to the
scores of boys who daily make practice
of lettering around the depot yard here
and interfering with what is none of their
business about the cars, shops and en-
gines, thrusting themselves in the way of
the employees of the different companies
and often imperiling their own safety.
Young Ryan had come over on Conduct
or Kinks train from West Rutland, hav-
ing no business here whatever, aud while
occupied in attending to other people 8
affairs received the injuries which must
cause him weeks of pain and suffering.
On Monday, man named Shannon,
while chopping wood for George H. Bea-
man, In the woods, at Center Rutland, by
misdirected blow buried his AK III his
left instep, cutting entirely through the
foot, inficting severe and dangerous
wound. He succeeded in removing the ak
from his foot and walked home unas-
sisted, notwithstanding that he had be-
come quite weak from pain and loss of
blood. DR.. Hanrahan of this place was
called and dressed the wound.

Washing Elnnnels.

In Hearth q. Home correspondent call
upon Mrs. Kate Hunnibee " to give he
mode Of washing Misunderstanding, " neve
saw fannels more beautifully washed thar
yours always are, and they do not shrink
either, not very much. Atwood hannels will
shrink some in the course of repeated wash
ings"
Mrs. IL. replies | fill my boiler full o
soft water, and while it is heating to the boil
ing-point, dissolve my soap in a saucepan
sort out the clothes putting all the fannel
together all the finer linen pieces ditto, ana
the colored clothes by themselves. When
the water is nearly boiling dip outsabout
two and a-half pailiuls into my patent wash
er, pour in soap enough to make strong
suds, aud put the ilannels into it. Generally
there is room in the washer for the collars
handkerchiefs, baby and such little
things After washing a few minutes,
wiring them very dry through the wringer,
put them into the scalding water in the boiler,
to which little blue has been previously adj
ded, stir them about with the clothes.stiek
two or three minutes, take them up in small
tub, wiring them at once through the wringer,
and have them hung Immediately upon the
line, out of doors, if the skies are fair, in the
attic, If they are not. l never apply soap
directly to flannel. If any part needs rub
bing, let it be done in strong suds, before
scalding. In this way, am always sure of
a plenty Of clean scalding water for my fan
nels, and | never trust them with any body
but invariably attend to this part of the wash
ing myself"
