PENoBsCoT COUNTY.
There are some terribly bleak places around
Dexter, and none more so than that where
Hanson avenue, so-called, joins the road to
Ripley. Last Saturday night, Mr.. Will b.
Shaw, Mr. Fred Marble and Miss Jessie Mer-
Ram OF Boston, were returning from the vii
lage, where they had been to attend a party
given by Mrs. w. 81. Carr. when the horse
got down in big drift. 1t was bitter cold, a
piercing northwest wind was blowing. and
the air was filled with binding snow. 1t
was necessary to unharness the horse, and
the sleigh, containing the young lady, had to
be literally taken up and carried some dis
lance by the men. When Mr.. John Shaw's
house was reached, and it was only short
distance from the place where the team was
capsized, the young lady was nearly frozen.
