boarding house on West Allen street,
Winooski, kept by Mrs Thetreault
Saturday evening and found four ca.
SEES of beer. The constable loaded the
beer on h. his wagon and while in the
house some one from out OF the crowd
sprang into the wagon and drove of

ter minus driver but the constable

George Battye, employed as lump
er in the Mould Il Davis stone shed.
Morrisviile, narrowly escaped death
Friday afternoon. Battye was moving
large stone with the derrick when a
pile of stone that had been undermin-
ed by the removal of that stone fell
overupon him and he was struck and
pinned to the stone in the derrick by a
stone weighing over a ton. The stone
striking him cornerways resulted in
serious injury to his stomach, chest
and hips instead OF instant death as
would have been the case IL IL had
caught him squarely. 1t is now ex-
pected that Mr. Battye will recover
from the injuries he received.

SUPERIORITY OF The MULE.
Lowry Animal Has Much More In
stlnet Than the Horse.

The mule Is less nervous than the
horse ard therefore loses less energy
In useless frettlng. In fact, one OF the
chief characteristics Of the mule is his
ability TO take care OF himself under
all circumstances. says Farming,
Much OF the apparent Sinking which
is charged against the mule Is an In.
born tendency 10 husband his strength
and make every effort count. The
result OF this instructive care on the
part Of tho mule is that he is able
10 turn out more work than would be
possible for a horse OF the same
weight under the same conditions.
The mule instlnctiyely avoids holes,
sharp obstacles. barbed wire fences
and various other forms OF danger
which are not so successfully avoided
by horses. II is matter OF common
observation that In instances where
mules run away they seldom inJure
themselves TO any serious extent In
mining. mules are quite superior 10
horses for the reason that they seem
10 understand the requirements and
dangers OF the work more clearly than
horses
