Collision at simsbury.

There was shead-on" collision at Simsbury Thursday morning about one o'clock between two freight trains. En- zine No. 13 had orders to meet No. 6 coming from the east at Simsbury and was standing on the main track. In the meantime H. & G. engine No 6 with six cars, in charge of Conductor Welch and Engineer Lynch. came down the grade at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour, the engineer having lost control of the train, and crashed into engine No. l3. When Engineer Lynch saw that 8 collision was inevitable he reversed his engine and jumped. Unfortunately for him, he landed on switch standard, breaking his leg and mangling it very badly and also sustaining severe iniu- ries on his head. He was taken to the Hartford hospital. No one else was seriously injured. The two engines were much damaged and three freight cars were wrecked. The track was cleared during the forenoon. The train drawn by engine No. 13 was in charge of Conductor Sweetman and the same crew as were in the accident at St Elmo. Conductor Welch says that his crew were all asleep in the caboose at the time of the collision.

Leonard Lawrence.


 Died at East Canaan. on Saturday even- ing, March IS, of pneumonia, at tue re- markable age of 9O>years, 2 months and 13 days. our life long citizen, Leonard Lawrence.
 His whole life was spent on the farm where he was born, and on land which had been owned by his ancestors for a century and half This death removes the oldest inhabitant in the town, and with him perishes vast amount of Ca- naan's unwritten history. His mind was clear and keen to the very last. He was an active member of the Oongrega- tional church for nearly 70 years. being particularly helpful in the musical ser vices. Music with him was passion, and few could compete with him in this part of church worship. His knowledge of music was full and complete, and few dared dispute his superiority. He has left behind him memory full of the fragrance of good deeds and kind words, and his loss will be felt most by those who knew him best.
 He leaves a widow, five sons, and two daughters, all of whom were present at his funeral. His remains were borne to the grave by his sons and one nephew, and in the full hope of glorious resur. rection we laid him down to his long sleep. Peace to his ashes. and farewell.

winter Amusement In Boston.

W1nt6r Amusement ln bOebOn-
 The most intellectual amusement of this arctic season has been punging. With hard g, not @ soft one.) Small boys and girls engage in it chiefly, and 1t is great education for the mind as well as for the body. It trains the per captive faculties beautifully. You see m elegant pung coming along, with a projecting runner behind, which you can easily stand upon. You have only an instant in which to look at the driver and guess whether he is the sort of man who will let you "catch on." You guess that he is; he has a whip, but he looks mild and gentle.
 You scramble onto the rear of his ve- hicle. Swishl slashl whack! "Git off O therel Git off, durn yep Swishl whackl You find out that you have made ter rible error of judgment. A few experi- ences of this sort, with whacks from nice looking men and, on the contrary, some beautiful rides on the pungs of men of very dark and forbidding countenances, teach you that things are not what they seem and make you much better judge of human nature than you would other wise be.
 Moreover, punging is excellent exer- cise and develops both strength and agility. It also cultivates fertility of resource. One small boy rode all the way to Newton Highlands on a series of hospitable pungs, and then had to find some way to ride home, and as most of the pungs were going the other way this taxed his ingenuity pretty sharply. But he got home just the same. And it was immense fun.-Boston Transcript
