! RUNAWAY Last Saturday, after the adjourn
ment, Of the meeting of Supt School Committees,
held in this city, Mr. J. w. Lang, who was here in
attendance from Brooks, stopped his team at Nc
Donad's harness shop, and while taking off the
bride, preparatory to htching his horse, valuable
four year old gelling, he became frightened at a
passing team, and ran iuriously past the Court
House. Mr.. Lang, having no time to dsengage
himself from the frightened animal, chung to his
neck, and succeeded III directing him against the
picket fence opposite the Court House. By skill
fu maneuvre he detached himself from the danger
position, and flung the bride loose, thus en-
tansling the feet of the horse, who, after few
bounds, threw himself near the corner of High
street. Strange to say Mr.. Lang escaped with on
ly a few bruises. The spectators expected to see
| him dashed in pieces. The horse was but slightly
injured. A very narrow escape for both.

About dozen of the most scrupu lousy proper
young men lin matters of dress) simultaneously
came out with the new tile on Friday. While they
were parading the Row, arrayed in the glossy head
gear, there marched part procession of jokers,
hats ever Misunderstanding as though there had
been general garnet delivery. Old revo lutionary
beteazers We're there-white hats with narrow
rims and aspiring crowns-sou'- Observation-Disclosures
broad-brims-mitary chapeaux-and all and every
style OF the past fifty wears. There was immense
laughter on the occasion.
While taking a drive on Sunday last, for the pur-
pose of getting some fresh air and seeing how the
grass crop was coming on, we met a couple of in
dividuals driving towards the city. Reckoning us
to their carriage, they uncovered basket and eX-
hibted full fifty trout real spotted beauties, that
would measure from six to twelve inches in length.
And there we had been, pent up in four walls all
day long, 1t will probably all be made right soon
er or later, but there occasions when it does
seem as though the wicked are having the best
time! Those fellows got the first run of that
stream. Fifty rout!-only think of it,
ACCIDENT IN BROOKS. Mr., Sydney Wiggin was
seriously injured, last Thursday, while at work in
the >aw-lnill of w. Roberts, of Brooks. lie was
trying to start the saw, by prying up the frames at
the hcadsock with the mill-bar the frames sudden
| ly started, wrenching the bar upwards, and caus
| ing it to strike him in the face knocking out three
teeth and tracturing the upper jaw, causing severe
flesh wounds upon the side of the face. The in
jured man was attended Immediately by DR.. Arey,

| On Monday, the schooner Little Anna, from the
Nova Scotia coast, delivered 1000 pounds of habut
| to Lewis Crosby-the handsomest lot OF that eX-
cellcnt fish ever brought to this market. They are

Salmon from Sears Island was received by Lewis
Crosby OH Monday, and we have the best reason
| TO know that il was nice.
| Mr. Robbins, of the American House. on Friday
invited some of the prominent citizens to dine, and
served up a splendid salmon that got cntangled in
Il weir in the river. 1t seemed to be relishel by all
| hands. Robbins undoubtedly means 10 feed his
guests in satisfactory manner. He certainly be-
gins well.
