BENJAMIN DALEY's horse ran away on
Wednesday of last week, with serious re-
suits. Harnessed to an express wagon be-
longing to Marvin & Sherburne, the horse
began running a short distance below
Thomas Marvins, on Barre street, and ran
into dump-cart near the corner Of Barre
and Main streets. Both thills of the wagon
were broken, and the wheels damaged, and
the two small boys on the seat were thrown
to the ground One, the eleven-year-o
son OF John st. John, had a bone in the
lower leg cracked, and was injured inter
nally. He is now much improved, and
will soon be himself again.
SHERIFF HOWE of Northfed, while in the
performance of his duties in the recent
liquor raid, rode down Main street on
wagon loaded with liquor casks, on
the Fourth of July, and by chance was
thoroughly wet with Berlin pond water
Several members of the Volunteer Hose
Company were practicing, by order of the
chief engineer, near the head of State
street. The hose was turned so that the
water struck Sheriff Howe and his team quite
forcibly. The occurrence was entirely acCi
dental. Mr.. Howe has now entered com
plant against Samuel Luke, acting as frs
huffman of the Volunteers, and the case /:
to be tried at Northfield next Monday
Whether Mr.. Howe has acted wisely in
this matter remains to be seen.
