 Our former townsman, now city judge of Waterbury. met with an accident in the Scoville House barber's shop last Friday evening. the American says:
 He hung hls overcoat near @ kerosene lamp. After he had settled himself in chair to be lulled to forgetfulness by the barber's ''chin music" the aforesaid knight of the razor turned the before mentioned lamp so that it would shed a better light upon the judges mobile coun- tenance. Down came the lamp satura- ting the overcoat with oil, which now costs 35 cents per gallon, former price from l2 to IS cents, which ignited. and the garment was soon one mass of fame His honor bethought him of some valua- ble papers which were in the pockets of the ill-fated coat. He secured them, but had his fingers badly burned. The coat was ruined before the flames could be ex- tinguished. No insurance. and no fur ther damage.
