 Much needed rains have fallen during the past week, but still there is need of more. A steady rain fall on Monday was followed in the evening by snow fall which covered the ground next morning to depth of three inches of wet snow ly- ing upon bed of mud. Upon dry, frozen earth the amount of snow which fell would have made capital sleighing. l Hon. E. c. Pinney excused himself from attending democratic rally at Rock vile on Monday evening, telephoning that he had sprained his ankle. The injury was not serious, but out of it an entepris- ing reporter concocted the following dis patch to the Hartford Times:
 The Hon. Edwin c. Pinney of Stafford | Springs, democratic candidate for sheriff of Holland county, met with serious ac- cident last evening. He was on his way to this city to attend the democratic rally. His horse became frightened and he was thrown. A telephone message was re- ceived by Asa Pettengill of this city, giv- ing this fact and also stating that one leg was probably broken at the ankle. A medical examination had not been made. however, and possibly the injury might be only bad sprain. An effort was made later to ascertain more about the acci- dent, but as the telegraph wires are all down no news can be obtained.
