SoUTH REApING-Mr. ID. p. Jones OF
South Reading was severely injured on
Tuesday afternoon of last week, while
passing the point above Proctorsville
where the railroad passes near the high
way. His horse took fright from pass
ing train, the wagon overturned and Mr..
Jones was thrown out, the horse forced
itself from the carriage and ran. Mr..
Jones was taken up insenslble and car
ried to the hotel where he was attended
by DIR. Story. At first it was feared
that his injuries were very serious, but it
is now hoped he will recover, as he was
able to be about some the last of last
week, though very lame and sore. He
remembers to have seen the train coming
and all else is pretty much blank to him
till next morning.
South Reading is unusually lively this
fall, with two blacksmith's shops, the
steam saw mill, cider mill, repair shop,
&C., all running. Royce's repair shop,
(the old starch mild, is being shingled.
The hill farms in Reading produce quite
crop of apples this year, though of
course not full, and Ebert Green's cider
mill is the scene of much activity this
fall.
The potato crop among the hills of
Reading this year is fine and of most
excellent quality. Indeed most of the
crops there this year are full and good
and the farmers there very naturally
have higher estimate of their real es-
tate as they view their we'll filled barns
A farmer who last year had 400 bushels
of apples is nearly or quite as well off
this year, in that department, with 100,
their market value being so much higher.
They we're getting 80 cents per bushel
for potatoes this week delivered on the
Rutland railroad, at Cavendish or Proc
torsville, and they were well worth it.
The death of Miss Rhoda Robinson
on Tuesday of last week. from paralysis,

formerly prominent business men of that
town.
