states that he paid out In expenses

Tade such trips in those days were

AT the beginning OF tho civil war
John Lindsey OF Lancaster. who died
about sevon or eight " ,rs ago. has
the contract to carry all OF tho con-
scripts and volunteers from Colcbrook
and the Canada line through Laucas-
ter to Llttletou, where they were load
ed on the trains and forwarded to
Lebanon for examination. Some Of
them were unable to pass the require
ments and were returned. SO that there
was considerable business over tho
stage line between Lltticlon and
points north. Mr.. Lucas used to assist
in this transportation, and carried
cansCript5 between LittlclOn and Ian
caster all OF one summer and into the
fall. Early one morning in November,
soon after slolghing had begun, Lucas
started from Lancaster with a load OF
fifteen volunteers in a four-horso
traverse sleigh. George Brown, an
other old driver, was ahead Of him
with another load, and they were 60
ing along at a pretty good rate Of
speed in order to catch the morning
train ut Littleton, when, at the sum
nit Of long hill, just before they
reached Littleton. the sleigh collapsed
and tipped over, spilling the voiun-
tecrs in every direction over the high
way and landing some Of thom in the
snow drifts. The forward runners were
all right, and the horses ran with
them some distance before Lucas sue
ceeded in bringing them to a stand
still. He then returned to the scene
OF the accident Cy Allen was in the
party, and George Brown shouted out
to him, in his usual dry manner: ICY,
Cy! see the volunteers; how they Gyi"
The sleigh was patched up, and by
hard driving the party caught the
train.
