A Bad Accident.-At 4 D. m. Monday
Napoleon Dumas was peddlng fish on
the Danvile road about a mile and a
half from this village, and while taking a
purchase into house the rens dropped
between the horse and wagon. When
Dumas went to pick the rens up the
horse kicked him in the side, knocking
him over, and then started on a run for
st. Johnsbury. The wagon passed over
Dumas body, bruising his tace badly
and laming one side so that he moves it
with great difficulty. He is now confined
to the bed and will probably be kept in
the house for some time. A good acci-
dent policy draws little of the ache out
OF the sore spots. The horse was stopped
near the Fairbanks boarding house with
the fish cart badly demolished, and in
its lately Travelled course was scattered
every kind of fish and fifty dozen eggs.

Another Summer School.-Tl


tary of the summer school has sent cir
cular letter to the school boards of all the
towns in this section, asking them to CO.
operate directly with the managers in
getting the teachers in their towns to
attend by making a slight addition to
the wages of those who do attend, and
by selecting their new teachers so far as
possible from those enrolled in the school.
1t the directors follow this plan it is more
than probable that the school will be one
OF the largest ever held in the state. A
number of excellent instructors have
already been secured, and this number
will be beincreased If circumstances warrant

appointed William Wetherbee on the
police force in place of Sheriff Sulloway,
who declined to serve. Mr.. Sulloway
was appointed chief of police, but as he
could not get the compensation he asked

regretted that the trustees failed to

man for the position and we'll worth the
price he asked for his services.

carried away some relic of "ye olden

on Cherry street for the St. Johnsbury

Liberty had his collar bone broken by
the earth's caving in upon him. If the

a second before the accident. He was
taken to his home on Clark avenue,
where he is liable to be confined for some
time.
Those who are canvassing for funds
to support the st. Johnsbury band are
meeting with splendid success, about
$700 having been already raised. Our
townspeople have at last walked up to
the fact that the only way to have a
good band is to give it hearty financial
support, and they have done splendidly
by the boys. Some time we hope to see
our village charter amended so that
money can be appropriated for this pur-
pose, but this year the money had to be
raised by private subscription.

The Academy boys celebrated their
victory over Dartmouth on Saturday
evening by big bonfire on the common
and a might dress" parade. Their
enthusiasm lasted until the fire died out,
after which they disbanded and went to
their respective homes
Our Academy team has won four
victories and have not lost game.
They have put up good ball and every
game has been characterized by a manli.
ness and courtesy to the visiting teams
that is worthy of special mention. This
team has never done better than this
season, and they deserve the hearty sup
port of the townspeople as we'll as the
students.
The Academy team plays the Dow
Academy team at Franconia tomorrow.
