Gilbert md Matt Wheeler were thrown out of their sleigh. Fortunately the horse did not get away. He drew them around In circle several times, and the sleigh lighted without further damage.
 Tho company from Bedding that were entertained Ut the Central House last Tuesday evening were highly pleased with the attention shown them and the supper gotten up in such fine style. Now, if you want a sleigh ride and vivands with other nice thing to tempt the ap petite, go to the Central House.
