w. F. Haynes of Boston while passing
between Stowe and Waterbury on Friday
last met with a very miraculous escape
from death. His horse being frightened
by another horse lying in the road, sud-
denly jumped and hurled himself, carriage
and driver down steep embankment to
the great detriment of a strong board
fence. Results were apparently HARM
less beyond the usual fright.
A little incident took place in our viii
lage last Thursday, illustrating how care
less people can be and how at times an
overriding Providence seems to step in
and protect us from harm when we least
expect it. Mr.. Rodney Paul left UNI
hitched in the streets his young horse and
carriage in which was seated his little
nephew. HermOn Tenney, a boy about
seven years old. The horse taking fright
dashed madly hOmeward, distance of
half mile, and was only prevented by
the sudden appearance of Mrs. Paul, from
wildly entering the half-open doors ofthe
barn whence it would have borne destruc-
ton in its wake. By this sudden stop
| ping the lad was thrown from the car
rage under the wheels and escaped mate
rial injuries.
