 two or three occurred which were quite startling in result. w. B. Demond & Go. < truck horse on Friday ran from the freight depot, breaking down street lamp an6 stone hitching post, with but little other damage. The same afternoon lady and child who came on the 25O train took g carriage at Gary Bros. stable. Upon start ing the horse became frightened by the raising of parasol, and his driver, fright. ened at his starting, lost control. Two ol three sharp turns were made, in one oi which the occupants of the carriage were thrown out, with little injury however. The carriage righted itself and the horse took turn through haymarket square, then suddenly resolved upon spin down River street, then changed it's mind and turned suddenly down the railroad track, leaving the wreck of the carriage at the corner of Smith $ Cooley office building. With the fore wheels attached he flew over the ties and essayed to, cross the bridge over the river, where only plank walk less than foot in width was laid upon the ties. He fell when about third of the way over, and the momentum gained en- abled him to slide upon the plank the rest of the way across. His entang dement's were such that he was caught before he had struggled to his feet, and found to be but little injured. The occupants of the car riage were taken into Dr. Middleton's of fee and attended by Dr. Smith. On Sat urday Mrs. John Dorsey of Village Hill started on her daily trip after members of her family who were employed in borough mills. When near the house of l.. J. Vest colt she raised an umbrella which fright ened the horse and it ran throwing Mrs. D. out, inaicting frightful injuries and ren- dering her unconscious. Dr. Newton was called and found the scalp split from near the eyes to the back of the head, laying bare place as large as two hands, and from which 1t was necessary to wash sand and grit before replacing the skin. It was necessary to take several stitches in the eyebrows. She recovered consciousness next morning and was able to tell how the accident occurred. She is yet in this will lage, and though much improved is in a critical condition, the chief concern being from possible resultant brain inflammation. Early Sunday morning parties named Ram say returning from French dance" at Stafordville began racing horses, resulting in spill and in the horse returning to the stable alone, leaving fragments of the wag- on and its occupants at different points oAOAS5 1A0 IOdu, OA0 AdtboE SOA0WAdl sore for their experience.
 Walter Remmert of the Central House has on sale bottled Stafford Springs water in the form of ginger ale, lemon, soda, etc., which he sells by the bottle or dozen for family use. Having sampled the gin ger ale, we recommend those who are using an imported article to do themselves the kindness of testing that sold by MT. Rem inert, bene6tting themselves as to cost and, we believe, losing nothing ss to qual- ity. At any rate it is little trouble or cost to try for yourselves.
