JAMAICA.
AN EXCITING RUNAwAY.


On Saturday evening, Feb. 10Th, as j.
0. Lanphear was driving on the South
Hill road from Jamaica to Wardsboro,
his horse broke off the road in deep
drift near B. Browns woods; Mr.. Ian
phear dropped his reins, as he supposed,
over the dasher, and stepped out of the
sleigh and trod path for the horse to
come back into the road, which he did
and Mr. Lanphear stepped into the
sleigh as it passed him without stopping
his horse, supposing his reins laid over
the dasher where he could easily take
them up. On reaching for them, how
ever, he found they had slipped from
the dasher and were dragging in the
snow under his horses feet. The horse
instantly discovered that he had no
driver, and broke into furious run.
Mr.. LanpheaR chung to the sleigh and
managed to keep it right side up, and
finally quoted the horse by talking to
him, so that he slackened his pace and
Mr. L. sprang out Of the sleigh, caught
the reins and stopped him just as he
was passing Matt Shows house, on the
river road from Wardsboro to Towns
bend, the horse having run something
over two miles and passing entirely
through Wardsboro village. When Just
above NJ, L. Boynton's house, Mr.. Lam
phear saw team in the road and cried
to them to get out of the way. 1t PROV
ea to be Mr.. Geo. NJ. Ruby, and with
great presence of mind he drove entire
ly out of the road and sprang from the
sleigh just as the runaway team passed
him, the shafts of each sleigh grazing
each other as they passed, but doing no
damage to either Soon after passing
Ruby the tugs became unhitched from
the whiffietree and the horse ran more
than mile with only the thill straps
hitched to the breeding. 1t was close
shave, but no damage was done except
one tug broken, but j. o. thinks very
much as Josh Billings did of "biled

The Masonic Bah.

The fifth annual ball of the Masonic
Fraternity, Of this place, occurred at
Union Hall, Friday Evening of last
week, and was a fine success both social
ly and financially There were present
eighty-four couples. The music was fur.
nished by the Keene Quadrille Band,
which was received with hearty favor.
The prompting by Messrs. c. +. Holton
and G, b. Wheeler, was distinct, and
many in this place were pleased to rec
ognlze among the musicians, their former
townsman, Mr. S +, Merrill, of Keene.
Before the opening of the ball, they
gave an overture which was appreciated
by the audience.
The opening or "Grand March, came
off at twenty-five minutes past nine The
masonic fraternity in their regalia and
the fine toilets of the ladies, as they
marched and counter-marched made an
imposing scene. Many Of the scenes fol-
lowing were not without special interest.
The outside arrangements were less elab-
crate than on some former occasions but
they appeared to be even more complete,
as the most perfect order prevailed
throughout The social part of the oc-
casion is spoken Of as rarely equalled,
and the various committees having the
arrangements in charge, are to be con-
graduated on their executive efficiency.
The hall was decorated with evergreens
and notices, the platform being festooned
with hanging flower basket in the cen
ter, and two beautiful banners at the
right and left. The committee and en-
tire fraternity tender their thanks and
appreciation to Mr. S. Paris of Charles
town, n. H., for the great abundance of
flowers which he so generously furnished
from his conservatory for the occasion,
including over so button hole bouquets.
Supper was furnished at twelve at
Towns hotel, where the company found
the tables arranged in elegant style and
bill of fare accordingly. The military
arrangement of the napkins, amid which
were the plumes Of flowers, celery, let
tuce and salads, rising above the yari-
Gus substantials and delicacies, did not
fail to command numerous expressions
of appreciation from the company, that
Mrs. Towns had been more than equal to
the occasion. The social element at the
tables was among the prominent enjoy
ments of the entire evening. Supper
over the company returned to the hall,
where dancing was resumed, the festivi-
ties finally closing with "Sweet Home, :"
and all separated with many pleasant
memories Of their annual for 1876.
