writes, Jan. 7 North Monmouth is so sit
uated that it gives the young people an ex-
cellent chance to slide. They can slide into
the village from opposite directions, frequently
meeting each other near the post Office, and
going at lightning speed; this was the case
last Friday evening when two double-runner
sleds heavily loaded with young men and
boys collided. Alber House, young man,
was struck by a sled in the mouth knocking
out four teeth and cutting his lip in shock
ing manner. He was Immediately carried to
DIR. ii. VI. Bakers Office and the wound was
stitched together and he is doing well but suf-
ferng somewhat. \ French boy by the name
of Dion, was injured in this collision. Within
five minutes after the above happened, a
double-runner with three young men and
three young ladies slid down the steepest hill
going at the rate of mile in two minutes,
and when near the post office the sleds got
the advantage of them, went to the side of
the street and brought up against pile of
hemlock logs, it can be easily imagined what
the result might be. All were badly shaken
up, but George Simpson, son of S. X. Simp-
son, Esq, was badly hurt, bruising one knee
badly, the thigh of the other leg, and bruised
in the abdomen, cannot tell how much the
internal injuries are. This is warning to
coasters, especially doublerunners and dark
evenings.
