The roads have been very icy here for
the past two weeks, aud it is a wonder to u,
that some one or more have not had their
necSs broken sliding down hill. I'VE call
it sliding over here, as most of our coastiny
is done In summer time, on scEooners, along
shore.) But nothing serious took place I'M
III last Saturday morning, when an odlsh
sea-captain, who lives with his mother down
the road, came up to ''the Corner" hauling
behind him something that he called
double runner, a pair of skates rugged out
in front of common hand sled "sonie-
thing that any child could steer and save
his boots" Just as the capt. Was about to
start Oh bis first slide, the minister, who
was on his way home from the market.
came along, and the capt. urged him 10 get
on and slide down, A it was right on his
(Mr. Smiley's) way home. The minister
got on and they started, going with light
nlng speed They he'd nearly reached tie
foot Of the hill, when in trying TO steer past
the cross road the capt. lost control Of the
sled and ran into juniper tree at the side
Of the road. which tree was broken down
throwing the capt. head over heels until
the fence on the roadside brought him
up The minister had one of his fingers
quite badly hurt. The capt. Jared worse
His right ankle was laid bare to the bone,
both shins were badly barked. and his pants
split in several places. The last we saw of
the capt. he l;mpng towards home,
kerchief tied around each pant leg and NUT
tering to himself something -"Parson
too heavy--brought her bead out t.
wouldn't steer" We called on the capt. in
the evening, and found him BY the fire
'herrirg -boning" his pant legs, while his old
mother was bathing his shins with John
sons liniment."
