A runaway accident which fortunately
did not prove serious occurred at Charles
E. Wheeler's last Monday. Mr.. Wheeler
! had hitched two horses to moving ma
chine in a field back of his house, when
one of the horses got his foot over the
tongue and was thrown down, while the
! other horse ran and dragged the machine
| and fallen horse some distance. Mr.
Wheeler and son Willard, Who were by the
machine, succeeded in escaping with slight
bruises and cuts.
The eighth annual academy concert last
Wednesday evening brought out full
house, the large attendance occupying not
only the seats but chairs in the aisles. In
variety, quality and personnel of the pro-
gram the concert was fully equal to pre-
vious entertainments. To comment on the
program in detail and to commend each
participant as each deserves, would require
too much space. Therefore we pass by the
Craftsbury names, all! of which did excel
lently, and without stopping to speak of
piano and mandolin solos, we would refer
to our visiting friends who took time from
their vacation and so ably assisted in the
concert, and would express special appre-
citation of the following: Mrs. Clara Ten
ney's fine singing, which richly deserved
the encores accorded her; Mr.. Chas. Whit
ney's thrilling trombone solos, which in
Dictated perfect mastery of difficult in
strument; Miss Marie Barker's deep rich
voice, which was an important element in
the ladies' quartette; Prof. John Colburn's
singing, which was much admired; Miss
Susie Paddock's part in the instrumental
duet and as accompanied; the clarinet OBJ
ligato by Mr.. Joseph Mullaney and the
reading by Mrs. Carolyn Pratt, which dis
played her usual skill and power in imper-
sonation. If we omit any description of
the three young old maids and their tragic
history we trust they will not feel heart
broken. The proceeds, which amounted
to about $50, will be used for special i'm
provements on the academy The people
of Craftsbury very much appreciate the
kindness of the visitors in giving their as
sistance, and also the interest shown by
friends from neigh boring towns in attend
ing the concert.
