A team belonging to Pratt & Foster ran away on Monday of this week. The driver, Hermon Bartholomew, and his -brother-in-law John Salewskle, were both thrown out and somewhat injured, but neither of them serious The wagon struck corner of James Cochrane's house tore down a portion of his stairway and WAS itself badly broken. The accident was occasioned by chain that was drag ging behind While they were crossing the .railroad 1t caught one of the rails and checked the team So suddenly as to throw driver over the dashboard between the the horses. It was Q wonderful escape for both the young men, especially the driver. Moral-don't have any chains dragging behind your wagon, especially while crossing railroad tracks.
 A scaffolding fell with number of young men at the North Cornwall parson- age, last Friday, while they were shing- ling. All but one of them got some bruises. The cause was the splitting of the crotch of tree in which the end of the timber holding up the scaffold rested

 -Wm. Green, one of the members of our new temperance organization died on Sunday morning. He had been in the habit of using intoxicating drinks to ex cess for a long time until he joined the temperance society, and then stopped en- tirely. He was very anxious to return to England, his native land. to show his friends there how he had reformed, but disease had too strong hold on hlm and reform came just too late to save him. He was genial young man, of good character and manners. He had many friends and no enemies.

Salisbury,

i correspondent ot the Sentinel has for several weeks been furnishing that paper with items, chiefly of the sensational or der, purporting to be..news from this place. Stone heaps, forests and barn yards are described as desirable building lots, the humble citizen is transferred into dis tinguished parsonage with the title of Hon. or Prof. appended to hls name and imaginary occurrences are gravely narrat- ed and commented upon by this enthusi- astic writer No damage as yet has re- suited from these articles though one of our plebians who was represented as a rising young lawyer says if he had only q small portion of this scribbler's faculty of exaggeration he would at once secure him as an instructor and prepare to study that profession.
 Some weeks since Mir. Calvin Beech CT, of Lime Rock, traded his farm stock with Mr. Smith of Albany for e hotel property near that city. No money was paid in the transaction, both places being mortgaged, and Mir. B. taking mortgage from MT. s. to secure himself from loss. Deeds were interchanged and the transfer duly effected in a manner understood probably by the negotiating parties, but which is not quite so clear to outsiders. At all events it appears that Mir. B. repent ed of his bargain and determined to re- tain possession of the farm. On Tuesday of last week Mr. S., while attempting to remove some stock from his newly acquir- ed purchase, was assailed by mob and driven from the premises. Not under standing the meaning of this demonstfa- tion, he called for conference which was granted and the matter was finally com promised by MT. B. paying $2, BOO. This struggle which has caused considerable excitement in the vicinity is we hope, now terminated. Thepublic icsympathize strong ly with Mir. B., but as he is an energetic man we do not apprehend that this small loss will seriously affect his accumula- tions.
 The building just erected by Mir. Delliber near the Depot makes valuable addition to that section of our village and we hope to see more of the same sort arise in that neighborho"d. Mr. D. will occupy it as harness shop on the 1st of April.

New Preston.

On Tuesday evening last, March 24th,
 some of the New Preston people met at
 MT. Frederick Beardsleys for a surprise party. It was intended to be Surprise" not only in name but in nature, for, un- like the other surprises" that we have attended, the people were not to be told that they were to be besieged until the besiegers arrived. They succeeded as we'll as could be expected, i'll place pro- verbally incapable of keeping secret The hostess was fortunately kept in bliss ful ignorance of the whole affair until it came off, but some one had the kind ness to give Mir. B. hint of the proceed ings. The plan adopted was to take Mrs.
 5. away for the afternoon, while some of the neighbors came in and arranged every thing for the evening. When she return ed from her afternoon visit she found the house already filled with her friends, and more coming, among whom was seen our former minister and his family, at whose house she had spent the afternoon. Her surprise was complete, andshe made some not familiar quotations" but character istie remarks which were highly amusing to those who had been in the secret from the first. After laying off our things in the cosy "upper rooms" we descended to the rooms below, where 'all went merry as marriage bell" We had no dancing, but instead, such time honored games, as
 Roll the platter" and "Seorn." Before supper these were participated in by the young people only, while the older people stood looking on, or sitting quietly around the stove, talking. But after we had par taken of the superb repast provided by the friends and every one was in their 'after-dinner" mood, the older people were brought into the ring and played with zest that was beautiful to witness. After spending the evening most agreed bly we departed, all pronouncing it the best surprise yet attended. z.

Uncle. fcm'S Cabin.

Want of space prevents any extended notice of the performance of Uncle Toms Cabin at Washington, last Friday night. 1 The excursion down the Shepaug was great success. nearly 150 people going l from this village, Bantam and other sta lions above Washington.
 The parts were very judiciously assign ed and the play was admirably performed throughout. MT. Kinney as St. Clair and Legree; MT. Aspinwall, as the Quakerized
 ''rough;" and fir. Logan, as the pet ifog- ger, were especially praiseworthy. The ladies parts were admirably sustained, notably that of Miss Ophelia by Miss Garfield whose disgust at Southern do- ings in general and Topsy in particular was portrayed to the life, MT. Burke Smiths Uncle Tom was realls a magnifi- cent personation of the character. Noth- ing could be more perfect. We were not surprised to notice, too. that Mir. Gum made a very imposing deacon. We don't know any one who has not already had experience in the position who could have sustained the part so we'll. Topsy and Eva were nicely played by two of the younger school boys who personated those parts very naturally.
 There was such a crowd from abroad that quite number of persons coming from distance of dozen miles to see the play only obtained seats through the courtesy of Washington people who made way for them on Mir Gunn's prom ising repetition of the play, Saturday night

From their wonderful cathartic power, in proportion to their size. people who have not tried them are apt to suppose that they are harsh or drastic in effect, but such is not at all the case, the different active medicinal principles of which they are composed being so har- monized, one with the others, as to produce & most searching and thorough, yet gently and kindly operating cathartic. 9 cents a vial, by Druggists.

New Preston.

The last entertainment ol the season was given by the Dramatic Association, last Thursday evening. ''The Poor of New York" and ''Solon Shingle' were again acted. The hall vas even more densely crowded than at inc previous representation of these plays Although there were no rehearsals between, the last performance Nas considered by those who attended both to be superior to the first. The performance was listened to throug- out with marked attention. Judging from the demonstrations of qualification, to which free outlet was given, after the fall of the curtain upon each of the acts. all doubt as to the attrrctiveEess of these plays was dispelied. ''Thc Poor of New York is especially suited to all classes of hearers, IS 1t is exciting throughout. and some passages are quite witty. Tine oth- CT play is better adapted to the tastes of the illiterate, who gre much amnsed by the remarks of ''Solon, "a prominent character who utters many quaint and rustic expressions. which for grossness of language are seldom excelled.
