A sad and singular case of sudden men,
tal. arrangement, followed by an accident
occurred last week in the case of D. B
Ii. Allen of this town. lie had attended
the soldiers reunion at Montpelier, and
left the camp at about o'clock Thursday
p NJ. for his home. On arriving near
earns mills, it appears that he became
perfectly bewildered and turned on to tho
road that leads to South Barre and Will
Jamestown, and from the appearance o.
his wagon tracks he must have turned
| quite round in the road, and soon after
took down a strong rail fence and drove
his team into the field, and over exceed
ingly rough ground, until he came to q
steep side hill, when the wagon tipped
over, carrying him long way and appa.
rently against tree. This was about
one mile from earns mills. 1t appears
that he must have laid in IN unconscious
state long time or wandered about all
night and until the next day at noon
when he was seen In the vicinity OF
Willlamstown village on the the road that
leads to Barre, some five miles from the
place of the accident. His condition was
ascertained by n gentleman who brought
him to Chelsea Friday afternoon. There
were marks of several severe bruises and
blows upon his body. A messenger was
sent in pursuit of the team which was
found in the field, the horse being
detached from the wagon by the breaking
of the harness. Medical aid was employed
on the arrival of Mr.. Allen in the town
but with only little decided benefit. lie
is good and respectable citizen of the
town, and man of steady habits. From
further investigation it appears probable
that Mr.. Aliens insanity was caused by n
blow from ruffian whom he came in
contact with near earns mills.
