parties injured, except Mrs. Bowen,
whose death is mentioned in another
item, are now recovering. The loss to
the railroad company must be well
up toward $4,000 and is a great
misfortune to Mr.. Barlow, who is
crippled from other causes at this
time. 1t appears evident that the
accident was caused by the rapid
running of one of the new and heavy
engines which, doubtless, was little
to stiff jointed to run around the
curves with ease and safety.
Rexford Pierce, who lived in this
town and vicinity formerly and mar
ried Clarissa Sturtevant, has recent
ly suffered the loss of q son at his
home in Titusville, Penn, by drown
ing. The son was about II years
| old and was drowned in creek near
his fathers homestead. Though long
and diligent search was made for the
body it could not be found, and the
grief Of the family was the greater
on that account. A peculiar circum-
stance in regard to the finding of the
remains was the fact that a clergy
man living in town had vivid dream
in regard to the locality where the re-
mains could be found. He made his
presentiment known to the father and
made search but found nothing. The
impression being so vivid on the
mind of the pastor, he sought the ia
Their a second time and on this day
discovered a place that he had seen
in his dream, and in a few moments
the remains were discovered. 1t was
a strange circumstance. Mr.. and
Mrs. Pierce's friends in this town
extend their sympathy.
