Master Frank, Il seven-year-old son
of Mr.. +. NJ. Joplin, of Elizabethtown,
concluded last week that he wanted to
come to Hartford, so he went down to
the depot without the consent of his
parents and took the tram for Beaver
Dam. He there took the stage for
Hartford. He has an aunt and several
mncles here, but the greatest attraction
was probably that of his grandfather,

Old uncle Charley Williams, host
Ter at Fields livery stable, met with a
serious accident last Sunday morning,
while driving horse and buggy. Mr..
II. =. Rowe, who keeps his buggy at the
livery stable, had borrowed Mr.. Me-
1ntyre's horse To drive to the Sulphur
Springs, and had left orders for the
horse and buggy to he sent up to his
house. Uncle Charley had hardly
driven out Of the stable when the horse
began TO kick and run. He held To
him manfully, and in trying 10 check
him ran the buggy into ditch, which
turned it over, throwing him cut drag
ging him some distance and leaving
him almost lifeless. The horse ran on
short distance, smashing the buggy
up considerably. Drs. Miller and Berry
were summoned i'm haste, who gave all
the relief they could. While he is
badly hurt, yet hopes are entertained
of his recovery. The horse was used to
being worked with blinds to the bride,
and ON this occasion did not have them.
