A Sorry Accident.

Charley Motfat, a little boy some
seven years old, had an arm broken
twice On Saturday. He and a brother
were playing over in Summervile.
when Charley was thrown violently
down by BERTHE, a son of Austin Howe.
several years older than himself, with
the above result. VIM. Horne happen
ed along with his team, and brought
the little fellow home, a surgeon was
called, the limb set, and the boy is as
comfortable as could he expected.
though it will be many weeks before he
can play out again.
The sad part of the story is to come.
Of course this was an accident; the
boy did not mean to break his play
mates arm; but he was older and
stronger. and also angry. A brave
boy scOrns to attack a smaller and
weaker boy. But how unfortunate
otherwise. Mrs. Moffat lives (stays) in
some rooms over shed on Maple
street. She has six small children to
care for-One baby-aud is herself in
such poor health as to be unable to sit
up all the day. This is Charley's
home, and such the care and nursing
that he must have.

Singular Injury.

Ann Quinn of this place was a pas
senger in the Passumpsic car derailed
at Coventry some weeks ago. when one
person WIS killed and several seriously
injured. Although thrown violently into
the top of the car with the other pas
sengers, she did not think herself iniur-
ed. She came home the same dav (she
is living at Col. Franklin Fairbanks's)
and gave graphic account of the ac-
cident, but did not appear hurt in the
least until a day OF two afterwards.
when she became quite wandering iu
her mind, and showed other signs of in
jury. She was constantly attended by
a physician for several weeks, and a
full recovery was thought near at hand.
On Sunday week she went out to
church. but she has been much worse
since. We think the physicians expect
complete recovery, but her spine was
evidently good deal injured, and per-
feet quiet is necessary even the jar
incident to walking making her
worse again. The strange thing about
this accident is the fact that she did not
think herself injured, nor did any one
else, tor 81 hours after the occurrence.
But it is genuine case nevertheless.

About 100 of the friends and neigh

called on them last Friday afternoon, it
being the 4th anniversary of their mar
rage, and, as token of their regards,
left an extension table, tablecloth, nap
kins, dinner and tea set, dozen silver
knives and forks, stew kettle, an
overcoat and s. for the purchase of an
easy chair, in all about $50 worth. Mr..
and Mrs. Sanborn were that day invit-
ed to West Barnet to their daughters,
Mrs. Blair's, while their friends at the
Corner were making ready the feast.
They came home about 3 o'clock and
were surprised indeed to find their
house full of friends ready to receive
them. The surprise was complete. Ev-
erything passed off finely. A bountiful
repast was served. In the evening the
young folks called and passed a very
pleasant evening.

One day last week, as usual, Uncle
Rob, as lie is famIliarly called, went
out to feed his hens, and seeing a good
sized essence-peddler, caught him by
the tail, carried him over opposite F. E.
Palmer's, calling loudly for Frank.
Frank was not at home, so he went
along to HOyt's cooper shop, called
Hoyt out and easily transferred the lit
tie animal to him and made tracks for
home. 1t was a comical sight for a few
minutes to see Hoyt hold the skunk
and Uncle Rob, little way off, almost
splitting his sides with laughter. Final
ly Crazy, who had been enjoying the
fun, took the skunk while Hoyt went
after the old musket that he brought
home from the war, when standing off
about three rods, Crazy gave the ami
NAL a toss into the snow, the old mus
ket banged, and skunkie lay dead. I'm

Notwithstanding the bad travelling
and busy season of sugaring, Mr.. and
Mrs. Orsen Cushman were surprised
Friday eve, March 15, by large num-
Der of friends to remind them of their
Both marriage anniversary. After two
hours of pleasant visiting, cake and
coffee were served. Then the bride and
groom were invited into an adjoining
room, where they found a gOodly num-
Der of tokens of esteem which were pre-
scented by Rev. c. F. Morse. There
were many expressions of eOngratula-
ton and approval of their style of life,
in beginning at the foot of the ladder
and climbing up, instead of commence
ing at the top and sliding down. Mr..
Cushman responded in a very feeling
manner for being remembered by words
of congratulation, also by the tokens left
them, speaking more particularly of a
large family bible which was the true
guide through life.

Charles Perrigo has been in quite
poor health and low spirits of late, and
change of scene and climate was
thought desirable. The OddfellOws
procured Calvin Stebbins to go to Low
ell with him, to look after him and
cheer him up. They soon received
word from Lowell Oddfellows that
Perrigo was all right, but Stebbins was
all wrong-that is he was drunk. Steb-
bins sold his hOIse to c. F. Robinson
before he left, so he had some ready
cash which has no doubt been squan-
dered before this, thus depriving his
family of needed support. That is
what rum does.

smaller boys. No generous lad will
