!. We were disturbed in our slumbel

!. horse and sleigh evidently making bette

e We should Judge by the sound that IL
It sleigh was sometimes one side up an
VI sometimes the other. When we g
IL rounl to investigate the pieces we
strewed all the way from the Post Off
to the American House, and on inquil
q we learned the following facts concernir
IS the catastrophe: A man in the employ
r Mrs. A. G. Noycs came to town with
CALI in sleigh intending to send it
}, market. AS he was driving up to t.
= depot, or While waiting there, his hor
Is became frightened at Il moving train
- cars and gave such Il sudden start as
spill both man and calf out upon t
Is ground. The horse sped off at hi:
CT rate of speed towards Main St., while t
u calf took an opposite course across t
10 fields. Both were finally captured a.
the spliuters into which the sleigh was
III suddenly converted were gathered II
q but its our opinion that John will find |
* match if he gets that slei.rh to repair
'e would be too much like making BARI
