SAD ACCIDENT. On Monday afternoon
last, little son of James M. Hubbard,
six years old, was killed in this village
under the following circumstances. He
got upon the tongue of dump cart with
Alburtus Allen, who was drawing load
of sand into the village, and when pass
ing over water bar near Thomas Quinn
by's, the jolt of the cart drove the
tongue through the ring which threaten
ed danger. Mr.. Allen and the boy
jumped off, and the boy fell upon his
face, and one wheel of that heavy cart
passed ever his back. He was taken
home at once and lived in terrible ag-
Ony for an hour when his death relieved
him of his suffering. This was an only
child, and the idol of its parents, who
have the heart felt sympathy of the
whole community in their terrible Attic

Boy DRowNED.-John Granville Horn
boy IL years old, was drowned in
Coles pond, Walden, last Sunday. He
went to the pond with two or three other
boys, and as they say, announced that
he was going to wade across it, and dar-
ed them to follow him. He then delib-
erately walked into the water where it
was over his depth, and was drown
ed before help could be obtained, no one
of the boys being able to swim. Abial
Patch came when the alarm was given,
and dove for him, but the water was so
deep his body was not recovered for an
hour. 1t is supposed young Horn did
not intend to walk in over his depth,
but the bank sloped suddenly, and he
was gone before he knew it. His father
died in the war, and Granville lived with
his grandfather Israel Farrar, and was
the main support of his grandparents.
His mother married Abial Patch. - CAL
