There was quite a scare here Saturday,
Aug. II. "a child lost in the woods"
was the cry. Jamie Flint, son of John
Flint, aged about 10 years, started out
on brook near the house to try the
trout, about 0 A. NJ. and when he did
not show up for dinner the excitement
began, and by dark the searching party
had increased to about twenty who had
waded each brook as far up and down
as it would have been possible for him
to roam in the time, and mountain and
hillsides for more than mile had been
traversed, but no signs found; and word
had been sent to adjoining towns, and
preparation was made for large num-
Der to join in the search the next morn
ing. But that night about dark when
his grandfather, Osgood Drew, drove the
cows to the barn the boy followed the
bell to the barn, and went into the
house calling out 'MammaW He seemed
to be in bewildered state of mind, and
his head showed a bruise. He had lain
down and gone to sleep, and when he
woke and heard the cow bell it was a
surprise to him. He thought it was
morning, and he says he fell and hurt
his head against tree and that was the
last he remembered. No doubt he was
within fifty rods of the house all the
time. His sudden and safe appearing to
his grandfather was one of the greatest
and pleasantest surprises the old gentle
man ever met. All join in rejoicing over
his safe return.
