great while and at 30 per recent discount,

A Sad Accident.

Last Saturday afternoon while re-
turning from the Beard farm, and
when near Pulpit Rock, Mrs. Henry
Elvidge and Master Fay Chamber
lain, who We're riding in cutter met
! a team in the road and turned out to
within a foot of the fence and gave
the man the whole of the road, but in
stead of passing them as he had plenty
of room to do, he ran into them with
his heavy team and bob-sleighs and
overturned the cutter, smashing it up
good deal and throwing the occu-
pants to the ground. When the
sleigh struck the cutter Master Fay's
left hand was caught i'm such a manner
as to crush the index finger 50 badly
that it had to be amputated at the Sec
ond joint. The man drove right on,
never stopping to see if any one was
hurt or killed, and never offering to
straighten up the cutter, and to help
them get home all right.
An overdose of Mulct juice is sup
posed to be the cause of the fellows
queer actions.
Some one should be made to pay
dearly for the loss of little Fay's fin
ger, for it will make him cripple all
his life, and perhaps unfit him for a
work to which he has taken great
liking-that of music.

unconscious to the floor. He was picked
up and carried to his mothers room and
