A runaway and narrow escape for
driver and horses Wednesday May 18th.
William Wilson was coming from
Island Pond with load of corn for
Mr., Albee, and as he commenced de-
scending the hill at the upper end of
the street, the horses, which had been
frightened at some performing bears
near the pond, became unmanageable
and ran. BY the time they were near
ly opposite the covered bridge they
were under great Roadway. 1t APP
pears, Mr.. Wilson tried to guide the
horses toward the bridge, but the turn
being short, they missed it, and just
passed the north west corner and went
over the bank, the off wheel striking
the bridge with such force as to stop
the wagon. The horses caught on
some brush and small trees and the
harness rigging being strong they

hung with their heads dowl over the
water, their Pumps resting on some
brush that had been thrown over the
bank. 1t is about fifteen feet from the
road to the water. When the wagon
struck Mr.. Wilson was thrown forward
and lodged between the horses, one
under and the other over him where
he was perfectly helpless. A crowd,
ready to assist, was not long in collect
ing. The first thing to be done was to
relieve Mr.. Wilson, Soon as possible,
ropes were brought and fastened
around his body and another attach
ed to the horse which was then raised
enough to liberate him, and he was
drawn up into the road but not much
injured. A rope was then attached
to the collars on the horses and car
ried across the river for the purpose of
guiding the horses across. But when
they were cut loose from the wagon
and dropped heal-first into the water,
the rope became detached and they
were carried down the swift current
till it seemed certain they must go
over the dam and falls. But when
within q short distance of the dam,
they seemed to realize their danger,
and witk 4 desperate effort made for
the shofS I'D footing, when a
man waded III nght them by
the head and they were saved. A
more narrow escape can hardly be
imagined. -EEpess.

How Watch Gases are Mode.

This process ofmanufacture was invented
by James Boss, who started in business in
1854, and the methods and tools used in
making these watch cases are covered by

under this process. For many years the in
