On Tuesday, Mrs, Shurllcf of No.
Bridgewatcr, hitched her horse to
tho front fence Of Mrs, Addie Reeds
house on River street, near Wood
wards factory, while she went in on
IN crrand. She had only got to the
door, when she heard u ISLAM aud
looking hack, saw the wagon, horse,
aud fifteen foot link Of the fence
move across the road like raft on
the Mississippi, Mrs, y. took in the
situation at once aud rushed for tho
horse, grabbed it by the bits, aud all
went over fifteen foot cmbankment
into Mr.. c. +. Shurllcn's garden. -
The ncighborS rallied aud got them
out. There being no man in the
vicinity at the time until the arrival of
Mr.. Alden Woodward, the ladies were
considerably excited. Mrs. S. was
much frightened aud somewhat bruised,
but strange to say, aside from this no
serious damage was done.
How much will the Oitauquechec
River get out Of the Congressional Riv-
err and Harbor steal? We have seen
no mention of it in the papers. She is
Us much entitled to slice as some of
the frog-ponds and mountain streams
mentioned. If there is anything ap-
propriated-wc hope there is, Us We
want the money expended in this vicin-
ity-we would suggest that it be made
navigablc for--for.-suckcrs from Hart
land to West Bridgewater, and that n
tin roofbc put over its soursc to keep
it from drying up in summer.
Geo. Chedcl, now in his SD year,
on returning home election evening,
and while in the act of taking drink

bone quite seriously. DR.. Richmond

and lie will be out again in few days.
The only authorized Boston Ideal
Uncle Toms Cabin Company, organ
lied by the sanction of Mrs. Harriet
Becchcr Stowe, the au.horess of that
celebrated work, will appear at the
Town Hall, Woodstock, tomorrow
(Thursday) evening. This company
is said to be the largest "Uncle Tom"
company in the country. Mrs. Stowe
has published an elegantly bound edi-
ton of her work for this company, q
copy of which will be given to every
purchaser of two reserved seats before
the day of the performance, free. They
carry new and appropriate scenery,
pack of Southern blood-hounds, Jubi-
lee Singers, trick donkey, Southern
raccoon and many interesting relics of
slavery days. An exchange says, "The
company is most exciting one and tlie
dogs made great sensation. They
worked very we'll indeed together on
the ice, and and one or two women in
the audience were so badly frightened
over Eliza's fancied peril that they
screamed right out. When the curtain
finally fell on the ice scene, with its
realistic effect of dogs, and men strug-
Cling in the frozen water, the great
audience was moved to such excitement
that it fairly sprang to its feet and
shouted for reproduction of the NOV
ing tableau. Then it called all hands
before the curtain, and the big, fero-
cious hounds were also led solemnly
across the stage, all amid thunders of
applause. Later in the evening the
jubilee singers "caught on" and were
obliged to repeat their musical feats
several times over"
Circus Day tomorrow. Frank A.
Robbins Great Geological Equestrian
Exposition is advertised in another col
umn. Read it. No Jumbo humbug
about it. He has the material to make
grand show.
Owing the storm during the day and
