 A few members of the band remained in Rockville Saturday evening to attend the ball given in honor of the occasion, but the most of them arrived home about midnight, pretty we'll tired out, but very we'll pleased with the days success.

 A team belonging to Levi Gary, at the Springs, and driven by two Italians, met with serious mishap near the bridge last Saturday evening. They had driven up from the Springs by the west road and were descending the hill, near the bridge, with the intention of crossing, when the man who was not driving, grasped the lines from the other and quickly pulled the horse to the left and up the hill. The quick turn upset the wagon, throwing both men out, and the one that had pulled the horse was seriously injured. He was picked up, taken to the veranda of Hugh Jenkins shoe store, and Dr. Batchelder was summoned. The doctor dressed the man's wounds and did what he could l for him, but 1t was about an hour before he regained consciousness In the mean time the mans brother, at Staffordville, who had been notified, arrived and took him to his home. The horse quickly cleared himself from the wagon, but did not run far and was uninjured. The wag- ) on was considerably damaged and had to be left at Wightman's carriage shop. It l Is said that the two men work for W. E.. } Demond, at Merrows, and that the one ) who was injured was intoxicated, which was the cause of the accident.
 Since the time when Adam and Eve bade farewell to the Garden of Eden there has never been a story but what had two ) sides to 1t, and 1t Is but simple act of l justice that both parties be given hear ing. Therefore we print, verbatim, the l following letter, which tells It's own story Rutland, Mass.
