other day, who, on their return home
met with quite an accident. When
their team and things were nicely
fixed on the boat at Summers Ferry
at Hartland, and out in the mid
die OF the stream, a log struck the
lark" breaking one of the guys, and
they were carried down the river about
four miles and landed on Pixies Island,
where they were rescued without seri-
Gus damage, but it made the ladies a
little "narvous' while floating down
the stream. The boat is owned by one
Noah Thompson, and though usually
safe, is not considered as reliable as
"Noah's ark of old"
An editor of a paper that has not in
terest enough in party to publish the
call for its meetings, and then crowds
himself into said meetings, allows his
name to be used as one of its organic
ers, and then goes home and lies out
rageously about its proceedings, de-
serves to be kicked out Of the party.
