ACCIDENTS.
Two weeks ago yesterday, Rev. d. NJ.
Conant, of the NJ. E. Church, on his way
to preach in the country. came very near
having a serious accident in the follow
ing manner. Just as lie was descending
the hill north of Nevada, I bolt that holds
the shafts to the buggy came oat, letting
the shafts drop on the heels of the horse,
which took flight, began to run and he
(Conant) drew the lines tight, which
pulled the buggy against the horse, caus-
ing the hold-back straps TO break. AT
this period all went down the hill at a
frightfiIl speed. and Just before crossing
the bridge got the horse checked. No
serious DAMAGE save i broken buggy and
harness.
One day last week. horse attached to
a wagon that carries the mail to "yan-
dor, took fright (cnused by the imprudent
driving of young man from Upper Sar-
dusky. who drives two mules to COW
cred wagon,) broke loose from the hitch
ing post and ran through town at 8
break meek speed. All efforts to stop
him proved fruitless till he had demol-
ished the wagon and ran mile or more.
We think that young man ought to be
compelled to pay all damages sustained
bv the accident. which might teach him
how to drive in town in the future.

vounW faces and some old ones too, TO as
sumo rlther an elongated shape. How

brightly, and i'm Il short time afterwards
the crowd numbering several hundred,
