 FERENCE.
 There are few men who have more ardent friends than Charles Lake, and they have been doubling themselves up with laughter in listening to his recital of the ice bath of his favorite horse, "Old Toby" It seems that Charles, with James Sullivan and oth- CTS, went to Lake Waramaug for days fishing. Lake came on to the lake late, and drove his fast pacer over the ice. In returning he drove on to a spot where they had cut ice and in a and Charles disappeared in the icy waters. With mighty leap, Charles reached firm ice and ran to the shore, where in loud tones he shouted: Come on, Toby!" "Come on!' The horse obeyed, and with the aid of Sullivan the horse and fine top carriage were pulled OutpOf the water. When once the horse was safe, Sullivan and his companions roared with laughter over the genial mason's predicameht, who sadly climbed into his carriage, wiped the water out of his eyes and ears, and drove to New Milford.
