member of the Legislature, were per-
haps fatally injured. Mr.. Lazelle went
to Brookside,a little hamlet just above
South Newfane, to get his horse shod.
His mother accompanied him. On
their way home the horse in some un-
known way ran off a small bridge just
at the foot of Rock river Hill. Mr..
Whitaker, who lives near, heard the
crash and going to the scene he found
the horse and the occupants of the
wagon all lying on the rocks in the
stream. Mrs. Lazelle's head was
crushed and her limbs were broken,
while her sons head was frightfully
bruised and one arm was broken He
remained unconscious for several
hours, though the doctors reported
Monday that there was a possible
chance for his recovery.
Capt. }. Harry Estey Of Brattleboro
tried an interesting experiment July
Is last. lie mailed four letters in one.
The first was addressed to the post
master at San Francisco, and request
ed that the envelope enclosed be mailed
to a firm in Ceylon. Inside the letter
to the Ceylon firm was request that
envelope No. 3 be forwarded to the
postmaster at Genoa, Italy. The lat
ter was requested to forward the en-
velope which he found in his letter to
Capt. Estey at Brattleboro. Each of
the three persons addressed received
postage stamps for double the amount
of the postage needed in forwarding
the envelope. 1t would naturally be
supposed that the letters would be de-
layed en- route, but the one enclosed
in all the others reached. the sender
last Tuesday, Sept. "a, having been So
days in making the journey around
the world. The letter was ten days in
