PECULIAR ACCIDENT.
A Horse Tried to Back Overheard Blu
Landed ON a s1oop.

Yesterday forenoon, on Commercial wharf
a team belonging to Charles York was
delivering load of wood to a sloop. The
cart was about half unloaded, when the
horse backed. The cart went down on the
sloop, about eight feet below the wharf and
wassjust long enough to cover thea distance
perpendic ularly SO that the horse stopped
with it's hind feet on the very. edge gof the
wharf. Luckily the horse kept quiet and
was unhitched and led away from the verge
OF disaster. The cart was lifted UP and no
damage was done. But had it been lower
tide. the horse must have gone with the
cart.

For soma time the biggest squash house in
the state has been situated on the farm OF
Alva Poland, in Cape Elizabeth. 1t would
hold from sixty to seventy-five tons vi
squashes. This year. Sullivan Hannaford
has built still larger one. These squash
houses are about the size of a small hay
barn. They are two story and hall
strueturesssandsares sealed up tight, SO as to
keep out the cold. The chief requisites in
preserving squashes through the winter is
to keep them from freezing and from touch.
ing each other. They are placed on shelves
and the houses are kept at q temperature
of about fifty degrees all winter by means
of coal stoves.
It is apparently extravagant to keep:a
fire all winter to protect squashes from
Jack Frost, but it pays, nevertheless.
In the basement of the squash house.
cabbages are kept.
