 Ssssgh Ride. Last Friday evening the people of Lakeyille (the married portion of them) took sleighride to Chapinville, and after their return had supper at the Miller House. They tell us that the sup pers gotten up st that hotel since it wac opened, for parties who have visited there, can't be beaten in this part of the country. The Miller House is getting the reputation ot being one of the best places for parties, and at the supper there the other night Gov. Holley and Dr. Knight compliment ed the management very highly.
 Kust Ha0e H.-The following note speaka for itself:
 BLOOMINGTON, Feb. l2, 1878.

 Horse Race.-John Burke (born up in Colebrook) 8 brakeman on Conductor Egg gleston's train. says he chased horse up the railroad, while in Hartford Monday. and into bridge, and as the animal was considerably bruised he jumped into the brook and held its head under water until 1t got well, and now feels bad because the owner of the horse didn't thank him for bis trouble. John now probably reslizes the fact that i've are rolling through an un- friendly wur-rold," and such acts of kind ness are not always appreciated. John saved the life of the runaway ''hoss'' and ought to have the credit of it.
 1he Manager Question. week in our Davis Ore Bed item we alluded to M-. Milton Robbins as being general manager of that bed, and now Mir. R. comes at us in truly business way. and says some thing about ''he wishes we could tell the truth part of the time; honor to whom honor is due. and although he represents considerable interest there, Mir. M. B. Richardson, of Lime Rock, is general man. ager of that bed :" all of which we let him say as hard as he wanted to and now make the correction. Mir. Robbins is capable of being the general manager of dozen ore beds, and if we didn't succeed in mak- ing him manager of the Davis bed last week, we still adhere to the idea that his double team, the grey and the bay. can spank off mile about as quick as any of lem.
 SesIous Aecident.-The Rev. w. A. Johnson of the Episcopal church, in this village, was very seriously injured last Fri day evening in Amenis Union, by being run into by boys on hand sled, and vio- lently thrown to the ground. He now lies in very critical condition, but it is hoped by the very best care which he is receiving, he will survive the dreadful shock his ner- vous system has sustained by this fall. A correspondent from Amenia Union gives in the Ivases the full particulars, which we copy: 'The exercises at the Lyceum on Friday evening were in measure broken by sad accident to the Rev. w. Allen Johnson, who was to be the lecturer for the evening. He was on the way to the village hall, in company with his wife, father and other friends. Just opposite D. k. Lambert's store they were met by some boys who were riding down hill on hand sled. The sleigh struck MT. Johnson's left | foot or leg with such force that he was thrown around, and fell down the hill, the back of his head striking against the ice. He was immediately carried to his fathers l residence at the foot of the hill, in an un- conscious state. At the time of writing. | (half past eight o'clock Saturday morning. consciousness is returning. The jar caus- l ed blood to flow from the ears, and during | the evening he had sickness at the stomach l with some vomiting. If no serious infia- l nation of the brain should follow, hopes | are entertained of his recovery. The cir | cumstances of the accident are very af1ict- l ing to the family and community. We trust that life and limb will be no longer | jeopardized by the boys riding down hill. l The danger is far greater in the evening, l and this amusement should be prohibited. | It is dangerous, too, in the day time." The last part of the above as to danger to pc destrians by children coasting in the street is particularly applicable to this village, and the practice of gliding down the hill
