 Acctdent-Last Monday afternoon, while Mir. Henry Clark was turning around the horse he was riding, near Horace Balls tue horse slipped on the side of an icy hill and fell, catching MT. Carks right foot under him, and severely bruising it. It is hoped no bones were broken, yet he is so lamed by the accident as to confine him to his house for some days.

 New tShop.-W. E. Cutting of this vii, lage, having purchased the building lot south of Mr. C. H. Glens' store. has con- tracted with Messrs. Niver 6 Daniels, car penters and builders, to build him dwel ling and tin shop, which is to be completed about the first of next April. The lum. Der for the same, purchased of Mir. E. w. Spur of Falls Village. is already on the ground and the work is commenced. Some how Mir. Spur delivered that lumber pretty suddenly after the order was given, but that is, after all, nothing surprising when we consider tue man. One who is capable of erecting such building as he put up al the Grove camp meeting last season, is equal to the prompt execution of any ord
 narily heavy job.
 Rdilrodd Acctdent-Last Tuesday as the first train from Hartford, on the Conn
 Western R. R., was approaching the sta ton in Canaan, it ran into the rear end ot locomotive was torn off, a cylinder heaC stove in, and connecting, rod of one oi the drivers broken. It appears that the side track was not long enough to accom- | I, on it, and the rear end of the train remained on the main track The fault of the acci dent is said to have been with the flagman
 who failed to stop the approaching train Nobody was hurt, and no damage excep to the locomotive, which limped back tt
 Hartford in the afternoon to be dOctored
 The train was delayed about two hours
 when it was taken by another engine ant
 went on it's way rejoicing.
 PougAkeepsie.- s. l.. DeGarmo, O.
 Poughkeepsie, was in this village last Fri
 day, looking after the interests of the dry
 goods business in this region. He seem
 to entertain the idea that the people iron
 this section can find it more for their inter
 est to buy goods in Poughkeepsie, than il } Hartford, as he thinks as soon as tn,
 Poughkeepsie and Eastern railroad is run ming through to Millerton, that we can g
 there and return the same day, the railroad fare being from $l, 50 to $2,0O less fo the round trip, than to Hartford. An ex cursion .rip to Poughkeepsie, similar t the one recently to Hartford, is whispered in certain circles. Mir. Wilson Hicks ant wife of Poughkeepsie, were also here las week. He too was looking after business examining the field, having in contempla
 ness, that we should be glad to see here We hope soon to be able to welcome hin to our village. Missed N.-The Burlington Courier mal
 missed the NEws for week or two, ant last week alluded to the fact with mucl earnestness. We had no idea the NEW was such comfort to him, and feel highl, complimented at his remarks, and by th' way friend Rogers, knowing that you ar, , watching over us with a fathrrly interest , we will tell you, as it is just six months , since we started this little enterprise, Una
