Joshua Prouty, an aged citizen of our
town, being caught out it the shower,
drove his team into barn for shelter.
The high wind tumbled the barn
down, killing the faithful old nag and
giving Mr.. Prouty several bruises.
Mr.. Spencer Taylor was also on the
road with his team which, ordinarily
is very honest and reliable, but be-
came unmanagable through fear Of the
terrific peals of thunder, smashed the
wagon and strewed Mr.. Taylor about
the road in a careless manner, though
doing him no serious injury.

a good time out in the woods on the
