CASTLETOS.

Last week may well be designated a
week of accidents in Castoton. The first
one occurred Sunday. While Mrs. Albert
Ransom, her son and Mrs. Ashbel Pepper
and her two daughters from Minnesota, re-
;atives of Mrs r.. were on their way to
the village and descending the steep hill
near the school house in the Northrop dis
trict some part Of the harness broke and
thew all were thrown violently from the
carriage to the ground. Mrs. Ransom was
taken up inscnsible and conveyed to her
home in that condition and she remained
so several hours. Or. Edaou was caleb
as soon as possible to attend to her injuries
which were quite serious, both externally
and internally. The other parties IN the
carriage escapel unframed but they were
fearfuly frightened.
The next was the Langdon-Arnold ac-
cident Tuesday afternoon and was MOTIF cl
in TIE GLOBE Thursday morning. 1t hap
pened at the Persons bridge, near the Cor
ners and was iiightful and fortunate mis-
hap as ever occurred in this town. The
horse had crossed this bridge from two to
four times day for six months without
particle of trouble but since his last passing
some of Barnum's monster circus posters
had been posted on the sidgs of the bridge.
The frightened horse began to back instead
of going forward and so three women, one
man, one boy, q horse and carriage were
precipitated over an embankment OF abut-
nent of several feet into water sufficient to
drown them all had not an everything pro-
violence otherwise ordered but now they
are all nearly as well as ever they were.
Mrs. b. p. Hall is the man that rescued
them from their perlous condition.

of the breaking of n bottle of congress wa
ter in the hands of John NJ. Ainsworth.
While attempting to draw the cork the bot
tie broke, cutting his hand terribly. DR..
Currler dressed and closed up the wound
with number of stitches. The hand is
doing well but yet 1t is feared he may lose
the use of enc or two of bis fingers. 1t is
the left hand that is disabled so that it will
not prevent his writing and figuring in the
office of Langdon and Ainsworth where he
is employed as book keeper
Wednesday night grand illumination
and lawn festival took place on the pleas
ant grounds and in the spacious dwelling
Of M. b. Dewey, esq, on Seminary street,
under the direction of the Corban society
of the Congregational church. More than
40 dollars in money was added to their
treasury.
Castleton people were happy to learn
from the lips of the Hon. William A.
Wheeler, the nominee of the republican
party for the next vice president of this
great republic, that his mother was Cas-
ileton woman. 1t has been ascerteined
that her maiden name was Woodward and
that che was born and lived for some time in
house part which now stands on Main
street and has been occupied nearly sixty
years by the Buel family.
The three hundred men and women that
went from Fairhaven, Hydevllle, Poultney
. and Castleton TO Rutland TO see and hear

than ever captlvated with the manner and
matter of bis mastery campaign speech

another Mich of fame to his roll of honor
as man, citizen, a soldier, a lawyer, ant
