decentralization Williams, u far
mer living upon the West Hill, recently
met with an accident which placed him
under the doctors care and left him only
a narrow margin for his life, lie hpd oc-
casion to carry Il cross-cut saw to Il
neighbor, and to do so mounted young
horse. with halter only to guide by.
Very soon the rattle of the saw startled the
ideas of the animal, which was soon
on John Gilpin " race which ended by
the unceremonious getting of" of the
rider, who was soon found by ncighbor
in an inscnsiblc condition, with one Of his
thumbs most awfully demoralized," no
doubt from being stepped on by the horse
as he fell from his back. The efforts Of
Williams to hold the frightened beast re-
suited in Il series of rapidly circling move
mcnts, which continued until horse and
rider p rted company. We think it sensi
Bile to suspect that when Alonzo goes for
II horse back ride in The future he will
} think best to take u bride instead of Il

Some Of onr citizens are after "more
light" Lamps are soon to appear on Main
street from the Common to the parting OF
the road near the tannery. The cost of
this is to be paid by contributions. We
hear, also, that the citizens of Central
f street do not intend TO he far behind in this
matter, bnt that their evening darkness i,
to be disuelled by lamp light, rs well us
that of their neighbors In this connection
the query arises as to what the matter is
with our village fathers. Some six or more
months ago they were instructed by &
unanimous vote at our annual meeting tt
cause the name of all our streets and ave.
nues to be securely put up at the corners
thereof within reasonable time We
, woul like to know how much more time
they ask or are going to take before com
plying with the wishes Of those by whose
partially they hold their offices. Come
gentlemen, hurry up and answer not by
t0ordS but deeds.
