Items being scarce in this vicinity last week, prevented your correspondent from contributing his mite to THE NEWS as usu- al. Things are not much more lively now, still, perhaps something can be found to interest your many readers. Last Friday a company of young people from Kent and Merryall wended their way to Lake Wara- maug. The company arrived safe, and af- ter enjoying a pleasant sail on the lake, ad- journed to the boat house and passed the remainder of the day, and portion of the next, in Stripping the light fantastic toe" They all declared they had had a heavenly time. and some of the young ladies were cross enough the next day to make every body they met think of heaven, or some other better place than in their presence. .. The law suit of Rowland versus Watson, which was tried before Justice Beach last week, certainly equalled, if it did not sur pass, in aelicacy of sentiment and elegance eJ language, anything ever before listened to in Kent. The plaintiff proved conclu- sively that he had been most grievously as- saulted. while those who listened to the af- fecting pleas of the defendant and his counsel were convinced that he was the in- jured one......The Furnace company are rapidly repairing the damage done to the buildings by the late fre......Those young men who take advantage of dark night to bid affectionate farewells at the gate to their fair ones should make less noise, that
 they may not attract the attention of those who have ears to hear, for by their tall and stately forms, if by nothing else, I've shall know them, even though the gloom be stygian. "A word to the wise;" and all, that sort O thing you know. SoL.

When country editors are exhausted for news, they put in paragraph telling how some beautiful ladies have called on them and cheered their toilsome paths with sweet flowers. Then their contemporaries revile them and they answer back, and business becomes brisk again. Thus are our Gree leys and Raymonds trained.

ACCIDENT ON THE MOUNT WASHINGTON RAILwAY.-A thrilling adventure occurred on the Mount Washington railway Tuesday night. while party were making the as cent preparatory to witnessing the sun rise the next morning. They had reached a point about half way up when the main ec. centric shaft of the engine broke short of with loud crash, followed by lifting ol upward movement of the car and violent surge down hill. For moment the occu- pants were uncertain whether or no they would beshurled down the fearful abyss to the rocks below, but just such accidents had been provided for in the perfect and numerous arrangement of brakes, and the car quickly settled back on the track and remained still, unable to go backward ol forward. All this time it was raining tor. rents, blowing gale and black as Egyp. dsn darkness. Lights were finally brought, when it was found that the accident had occurred within few feet of the upper end of the first section of the ladder, where the great trestle work tapers away and rests upon sort of abutment formed by the pro. jecting ledge. Crawling along on the tim bers, the party soon reached the ground and after several hours of terrible stumbling and clambering in which the ladies of the party became almost exhausted, reached the summit in safety. The accident is the first one that has occurred on the railway, and while it placed the party in thrilling position it showed that fatal catastrophe is almost impossible. HarJord Courant
