Chichester was badly bruised and shaken
up. Her young son was driving the
team, when one of the lines ard one Of
the horses switching appendages became
entangled and the horse began to caper,
and canter off at a lively rate. The line
slipped from the boys hand, then he
jumped out trying to run in ahead of the
horses, to stop them, but without avail.
The lady's daughter also jumped out,

get out at the back end of the wagon,
the horses had reached such aspeed that
she was thrown out on her hip. We hope
her injuries are not serious, and that she

"A Savings Bank Incident.

Richard Roe deposited sos in the
Bowery Savings Bank in New York.
between 1885 and 1S49. Between 1885
and 1860 $753.S9 were withdrawn.
When the last draft was made the de
poSitor's book appeared to be over
drawn 81. There were due Roe at that
time, however. dividends amounting to
a hundred dollars and one cent, which
had not been entered in his passbook,
and the bank really owed him a balance
of ninety nine dollars and one cent.
The balance went on accommodating
dividends until 1875, when it became
a dormant amount, and ceased to draw
interest. The amount then due Roe
was $343.25. Efforts were made with
out success to find him. He had become
very poor, was too old and feeble to go
to work again, and was given home
by his sons at Rutherford, \. j.
Roe always intended to repay the 81
he thought he owed. but never did so.
President Townsend. of the Bowery
Savings Bank. in looking over the books
one dav came across Roe's account. A
new search was instituted and Roe was
found at Rutherford. He was told TO
call at the bank with his old account
books. Shortly afterward he did so, ac-
conpanied by his granddaughter, II
years old.
