| CAsrLEToN.-One of our citizens took
ride with livery team last Friday
night, Friday is called an unlucky day,
this proved to be an unlucky night to our
friend, as the sequel will show. The
following rumors were afloat: The next
morning, Story No. 1, was that he spent
the evening at the house of friend at
Castleton Corners, and when he went for
the team to return home 10, and behold, it
was not to be found. 1t was suppressed
to have been driven away by some I'M
known person in the form of a horse
thief. Story No. 2, was that he went to
Poultney, with the team, remaining there
until midnight. At that time, he hurried
to the depot and took the train for Castle
ton, forgetting he went with horse and
buggy. Story No. was, and that was
the true version of the affair, at starting
from the Corners to return home, on turn
ing around the team he turned too short,
upsetting the wagon, spilling him out.
The horse left Immediately, and arrived
at the livery stable in Poultney at about
10 o'clock, with no damage but the break
ing Of thill and the springing of an
axle; the next day about noon the team
was returned to the owner. Our friend
was little sprung as well as the axle, not
drunk we don't mean, for he is temper
ate young man, but he was mad.
