HINCOCK

w. w. Thomas, the Middlebury
dealer In musical instruments, met with
little mishap here, last Monday. He
was in his two-wheeled gig and leading
with one of our citizens, on Main street,
when a procession of youths, decked
out in the style of a company of Fourth
ofJuly "Antiques and Horribles," came
along. The driving horse became
frightened, and Mr.. Thomas jumped
out and grasped the bits, when the
horse made plunge, broke the bits and
ran. He turned at the hotel, took a
post on his way, which smashed the gig
and hauled the harness from the animal,
and then ran into the rear of house,
through wood shed, up some steps and
into the kitchen, where he was rescued,
having frightened the woman of the
house and several of the neighbors. A
long job OF repairing and splicing
fixed things SO that Mr.. Thomas was
able 10 start for home.

But Mr.. NJ. thought otherwise, and
being highway surveyor he plowed and

and told Mr.. o. TO move his fence so as
to leave room for sidewalk. Mr.. o.
refused. Consequently petition was
sent TO the selectmen 10 lay out and

the finding that the old survey ran
through or near some five or six houses
In the village. NJ. said Il was no mat

TO be seen, though II Ia probable that

uANtinOOn Ut lflf sllIOlIll-

up the line Of march toward Chapman
Hill. The girls were dressed in white,
the boys in uniform. The place select
ed for the picnic was cool and shady
spot, just north of the summit of the
hill. Upon arriving there, the young
people proceeded to enjoy themselves,
while the ladies spread the tables,
which the boys had previously prepar-
ed, with snowy table linen, and soon
both tables were loaded with tempting
variety of good things. Mingling with
the merry company were some uninvit-

themselves without due ceremony-we
allude to the mosquitoes. There were

KEEP YoUR Own CoUNsEL.-It is a
most excellent rule in life, for those
who would keep out of trouble, and
keep themselves too out of the reach OF
injurious busy bodies, to have their eyes
and ears wide open, and their mouth
shut. They may see all that is to be
seen, and hear all that is to be heard,
but they need not tell to others all that
hey may wish to hear. These are
scheming times. People are not what
they were twenty years ago. The strug-
gle for life and wealth has become 50
fierce and intense, as TO have broken
down many of the scruples that once
governed it. Matters spoken OF in con-
fidence, or words dropped incautiously
in chance conversation, are not always
accorded the privacy they are entitled
to. They are too often used without
remorse, wherever they can be used to
the advantage Of one, or to the detri-
ment OF another; and in this wav a man
who has honest schemes of business in
hand, or who may have the misfortune
to have unhappy secrets in his house
hold, or in his personal circle, frequent
" finds the world cognizant of them all
without scarcely knowing how it OBJ
tanned the information. An upright.
lust, aud honorable person, who chances
to come into possession of knowledge
of his neighbor's private affairs, will
lock his l,ps upon it, and suffer no one
else 10 obtain it from h.m. But all men
do not possess this high regard for 9TH
ers, and the only safe rule in dealing
with such persons, aud indeed with all
persons, is to keep your own counsel
convcrs" freely and genially on ordinary
subjects, but on grave personal matters
cultivate careful reticence. If YOU
have important business projects in
hand, keep them TO yourself. or, at most,
limit the knowledge of them to the few
trusty friends on whose discretion YOU
can rely. and whose advice and assis-
tance ycu NAV need. There are few
successful business men who do not
make this an inflexible rule in their OPP
erations. 1t saves them infinite trou-
Bile, and is one OF the secrets Of their
success.
