 -Wm l.. Wood of Hartford, for some time past guest of Mrs. Hicks on High land terrace, met with a painful accident last Sunday. He was walking in the Woodlawn pasture, near the summit of Crow Hill, when the cows gathered around him, evidently expecting to be salted. Two of them became engaged in fight and during the commotion MT. Wood was knocked down and pl obably stepped upon, as he found himself unable to rise, and during four hours remained nearly help less, having dragged himself but short distance. There he was found by Mir. Hicks, who had been alarmed by his pro- longed absence and gone in search. He was got home and Dr. Watts, who was called, found the injury to be what is pro- fessionally known as Potts fracture, and dislocation of the tibra and con- minuted fracture of the fibula, the injury being in the vicinity of the ankle. Mr. Woods sister, Mrs. fex-Senator) Wm. w. Eaton, of Hartford, has visited him since his injury. He was stopping here for use of spring water, and had been congratu- lating himself on most mark ed improve ment in health.
