NEW MILFORD.
A FRIGHTFUL AFFAIR.


 Messrs Hunt and Miller, Tuesday af ternoon, hitched up one of their double teams and had just started from thei stable when they met a team from tht Eastern Upholstery works loaded higl up in the air with lounges ready for ship ment and which was near Evitts' drug store. The horses took fright at it and backed, throwing Hunt and Miller out of the wagon, which was upset and quite badly broken. One hose fell down and the other tried to get free and stamp ed on the horse which was down. The l latter groaned terribly with the pain it i caused him. They were finally separat- | ed and taken back to their stables and i whether the injuries to the horse trodden upon will prove fatal time only will de- termne. We are happy to state that Mcssrs Hunt and Miller were not injured 1 in the fracas but their team is probably ruined.

 A town meeting is to be called-for the purpose of letting out the working of roads and highways by contract, as done under the old system.
