A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE OF A
MOTHER AND CHILD FROM THE JAWS
OF DEATH. = Last Thursday afternoon
as Mrs. VIM. J. Boyce, who livesin the
Mason house east of the Iron Bridge,
was preparing to draw out her 10
months baby, she left the carriage
standing on the piazza while she turn
ed her back for something, and when
she looked again the carriage contain
ing the baby was rushing for the river
with the velocity OF an express train
over an air line road. The mother
screamed and rushed after, but too
late, the carriage had gone over the
bank into the river. Nothing daunt-
ed she rushed in after her child, and
the struggle in the water, which is
some four or five feet deep, among a
mass of rocks, was terrible. She got
the child out of the carriage only to
see it float from her grasp upon the
current. Her screams brought the
hired maid and another lady to her
all, who pulled her out more dead
than alive. Addison Markham who
was riding in the road on the Billings
hill with another man at the time, dis
covered the situation and made a rush
for the river, as also did Henry Met
calf. who, between them managed to
rescue the child after much hard
fighting in the deep water and swift
current, some 25 rods below where
the carriage first struck the water.
On reaching the shore there were no
signs of life in the child, but they
went to work and administered the
usual remedy in such cases, and they
were made glad by feeling the pulsa
ton Of the heart after the stomach
was relieved of a quart or two of wa
ter. The mother and child are now
nearl y recovered. We forgot to state
in the outset that probably the mo
lion Of the child started the carriage
lown the steps, three in number, but
the mystery is why it did not tip
over then it went down steep
grade some ten rods, and over a riff
RATED embankment, and did not tip
over . This could not be done by ex-
perlmenting once ms million times.
This young lady was not born to be
drowned, and the story of her miracu
ous escape from death in early life,
should she live, will be listened to
With interest by her grandchildren.

AS we have several persons sick
at the present time in this village,
whose lives are balancing between life
and death, would it not be advisable
tor our police TO suppress the blowing
ing of COW horns and other lugubrious
noises, on the night preceding the
Fourth of July and the night of the
Fourth. IT. the opinion Of some. the
enjoyment of the Fourth of July
would be enhanced by a good sleep
the night before.
AT the adjourned meeting, Mon
day evening, although not very large
" attended, it was voted that Wood
stoct celebrate the coming Centennial
Fourth of July The committee APP
pointed to solicit funds, etc, reported
that 1915 in s. subscriptions had been
secured, and II was the opinion of the
committee that over $500 could be
raised. This fired the patriotism Of
those present, and it was thought best
to proceed with the work. A rough
draft OF a programme for the occasion
was given, which will be subject to
examinations and additions, by sug-
gestons OF the citizens. Fireworks
guns --morning, noon and evening,
decoration of public and private build
ings, forming of procession, music,
grafton. historical address, reading of
Declaration of Independence, free
lunch for all in the park, toasts, short
speeches, songs, more music, etc. We
would suggest that militia company
be formed aud that each man arm
himself and that it be headed by the
tuneful fife and festive snale dram. a
f,ot race around the park would
"take." Other things to amuse the
crowd might be introduced at little or
no expense. The fact is our best
things lie nearest Our feet, and it is
not necessary to go abroad in search
of them. Now let US have an old
fashioned, democratic Fourth of July
celebration, one that will redeem the
character of Woodstock in Fourth
of July celebrations. A commit.
tee of three, consisting of Col. T. o.
Seaver, DR.. J. S. Richmond and John
D Eaton, We're elected, with power to
appoint subcommittee to carry for
ward the work. The provisions-sub-

be furnished by the citizens and the

notified what to furnish, and teams

HOLY TRINITY ORGAN CONCERTS.

Mr.. Samuel p. Warren s Organ Concerts at

never since abandoned. He gave us inc DeS'

called the Romantic Schooof organ music, whose very
names were strange 10 most New-IOrkcrs His pro-
Crammes were carefully arranged with view not only
TO amusing his hearers but to inStucting ana cdcat

surprising even Mr.. Warren himself The audiences
have grown in size and have steadily shown more and
more intelligent appreciation OF what they heard 1t
was a noble work, faithfully and honestly carried ont
This undertaking Mr.. Warren will continue during the
present season. As the last year. he VIII play
at least every other Wednesday, and he will take care
that his place shall supplied only by thoroughly com
