The Village Limits: Where Is the
Northwest Corner?


| To THE EDITOR OF THE AGE:-It has always
been understood that the northwest corncl
of the village of Woodstock was the north.
west corner Of u small plastered dwelling
| house situated between the old plaStercd
clothier shop and the dwelling house for.
merly occupied by Judge Denison. All
| these buildings were on the south side OF
the brook. About 1870 Il village tax of II
cents was voted, and the village trustees
looked up what they called the village linn
| its, so as to have what property there was in
the village boundary pay the tax. From the
| records, and statements of the oldest in.
labitants then living, they called it that the
| northwest corner spoken of in the record,
was the northwest corner OF the small dwell.
ing house between the clOthier shop and the
Judge Denison house, and in Lowing the
| village tax it has so been considered even
| since
| 1t is claimed now by some that mistake
| has been made as to the northwest corner
described in the record, and that the plas.
tered house on the other side of the brook
and some ten or twelve rods north of the
| clothier shop. was the one intended. Thi,
house was known rs the mill house. as it
was occupied by the different millers that
tended the mill, which was between the
mill house and the clothicr shop. This mill
| house was taken away in 1865. It was
| twice the size on the ground Of the small
| dwelling house, which was ON the same
| side of the brook with the clOthirr shou
and some ten rods further down the brook.
This small dwelling house was taken away in
1852 The clother shop was removed in

DR.. Henry 5. Boynton had very
narrow escape from serious injury
on Saturday afternoon. He was
driving down Lincoln street little
before ; o'clock p. m. and when in
front of the Richmond house his
horse bolted for no apparent cause.
The animal at first made bee line
for the bank back of Bancrofr'S black
smith shop, but the doctor managed
to rein him down the hill, prefcrring,
as he said, to take his chances in that
direction. Descending the hill at
trightful speed the team was of
course unable to make the curve and
dashed across the road into the ditch
and against the fence near F. s. Nc
Kennels barn with terrific force.
The horse was instantly killed, its
neck being broken. The doctor was
pitched out of the carriage and was
found lying ON the sidewalk in Il
half-dazed condition, with his body
partly under the wrecked carriage.
Help was near at hand and the doc
tor was carried across the street to
Miss Udall's rooms. With the en-
ccption of a few scratches on his
forehead and face there were no evil
dences of the accident and apparent
" he did not suffer much pain,
though at times he brcathcd with
some difficulty. No bones were
broken. 1t was feared at first there
were internal injuries, but there
proved to be none, He was able to
be removed to his home during the
where he is now recover
ing slowly. The wreck of the car
riage was complete. Thills were
broken, the top tclcScopcd, and the
bottom of the vehicle scooped out,
and the cushions were found on the
other side Of the fence. The horse
had Il record OF numerous runawavs
and had been instrumental in iniuring
several people before. The sudden
end of its vicious career causes no
mourning.
