WILD RIDE RECALLED.
A Dest crate Chance Taken and in Successful
Manner.

The thoughts of the Wild West show

when the show was last here.
When the evening performance was
so far along that the tents wer,
being loaded upon the cars, team
drawn by eight horses and CON
tanning about eight tons Of canvas
was started for the station. When at the
top of Rines hill a steel shoe, fastened By
a chain, was placed under a rear wheel
to serve as trig. Everything went well
until the team was well started down the
hill, when the chain snapped with the re-
port of a pistol. ~
The team was then on a sharp decline
and at the foot of the hill was the com

Barrels Used al Insane hospital.

An idea of the immense number of
barrels used at the Maine Insane Hos
pital may be gained from the ship
mcntS made III the past day or two.
There has been but a slight demand for
the barrels of late, and for two years
the barrels have been allowed to ac-
cumulatc in the store houses Of the in
stftutiun A few days ago parties from
Boston made a trade with the hospital
officials with the result that the two
wears accumulation, 1000 barrels were
sold to the Boston parties. y large
part Of the barrels were shipped from
the hospital wharf on the east side of
the river. but besides that large stack
.of the barrels We're made on the steam
boat wharf on the west side. A good
part of these were shipped, yesterday,
when the boat went out. Besides those
already sold the hospital has a large
number uf the barrels on hand that
may be used for packing apples if they
are needed by the institution.
The barrels, this year. are not selling
for as high price as usual. neither
has there been the usual demand dur
ing the past two years or 50. 1t is be
IiCycd that one reason why there is
such a falling off is on account of
short apple crop. 1t is thought posi-
bic that now that there is Il possibility
Of a good crop. this year, the demand
will be increased.
