DEATH OF H. B. RUMSE1.
 A terrible accident occurred on Friday last, by which one of our most prominent citizens lost his life. While H. B. Rum- sey was attempting to lead his bull from the lot to the barn, the furious brute at- tackled him, goring and trampling on him and inficting fatal injuries. His son from an adjoining field saw the occur renee and hastened to his fathers rescue. Placing him on a cart, he brought him to the house and medical aid was sum- moned. It was at once discovered that his death was only a question of few days. He fingered in great pain till Tue sday afternoon, when death put an end to his sufferings. The prominent po- sition he occupied and his untmely death occasioned great shock in our commun- ity. Though not native of our town, he had resided here long enough to be- come thoroughly identified with it. liar vey B. Rumsey was born in Monticello, Sullivan county, N. r., June II, 1882. He was married on January 10, 1867, to Adelaide Briggs of Sherman. Soon after his marriage he removed to Bedding, purchasing what was known as the Dud- ley place and one of the finest farms in town. Here he resided till the day of his death. He was very successful busi- ness man, and by his dealings in real es- tate, buying, selling and raising cattle, accumulated quite fortune. He was especially successful in his real estate deals in the city of Norwalk. He was 8 republican in politics and represented Bedding in the Legislature and was also first seleetman for one year. He was a He was man of genial manners and had good word and pleasant smile for all whom he met. A widow and two children, son, Louie, and 8 daughter, Emma, survive him.

 Those who think they know say four years ago there was only one bicycle in town. Now there are from 75 to 100. Taking the smaller number, which cer- sainly is safe estimate,at $40 per wheel, fair price, it would represent $3000, a | large sum for so small a town for pleas ure investments. There are 21 wheels at the Gurus school. The rest are quite uniformly diStlsshrGe through the town. There are only two agents, Clarence Vro- man and Jerrold Curtis. It is said Dan- bury has over 50 agencies.
 The pleasant weather of the past two weeks and the advanced state of vegeta- tion had led people to think spring had come to stay. So they were unprepared for the cold wave of Monday night and Tuesday. It is seldom so low,a temper ature is reached at this season, ,26 degrees, and maintained so long. From Monday at 3 p. fn., Tuesday, the thermometer fell 42 degrees, reaching only six degrees above freezing point, Tuesday noon. The possible damage to fruit buds, strawber- ries and low growing plants cannot yet be estimated. Most tobacco beds were sown and many were up. Hot beds were generally frozen, many house plants were out. In one instance two-inch pump out of doors was frozen and the barrel burst into several pieces. The writer examined several peach buds on Tues day, which as yet show no signs of in- Ijury.
