 Close Call for Touring Car.
 What came very near being seri- ous accident occurred about 6:30 last evening, when a large touring car was running onto Terrace avenue from Fairview. It didn't make the turn quickly enough and it struck the guard rail on the edge of the bank, bending the rail but saving the car from going down over the steep embankment. After a short time it went on its way again.

 Fourth of July Casualties.
 A number of casualties that are incident to the Fourth of July is re- ported from many sections. Among the following are reported Tracy Breen of Church street had his hand badly torn while discharging a can- non cracker. A little girl named Carlson of Elm street was hit in the eye with a firecracker and, while the accident is painful, the physician doesn't seem to think it dangerous. A young man named Zehnder, who lives in Union City, had the top of one of his fingers blown off. A young son of Martin Anderson of Hillside avenue was about to discharge a cannon when it exploded and he re- ceived all the powder that was in the cannon, burning his hands and face quite badly. pr Delaney was called to Beacon Falls to care for a young man named Frank Masker, who tore an ugly wound in the palm of his hand because he discharged a pistol that he thought had no bullets in it. All this goes to show that while we look forward with pleasure to the coming of the Fourth, no one seems to be sorry when the day is gone with all its noise and many acci- dents.
 No Public Celebration.
 There was no public celebration of the Fourth here yesterday, the small boy being about the only one who seemed to enjoy the firing of caps and pistols. All the stores were closed and as the ball game in the after noon was played in Waterbury, the streets took on deserted look. It was the opinion of many that this was the slowest Fourth of July that Naugatuck has had in some years. The weather was ideal for holiday and many took advantage of this and went away. At the local passenger station there were sold 300 tickets for New Haven and 150 tickets for the Orange fair. and many more went by way of trolley or had gone previously. There were many house parties in different parts of the town, and we are thankful of one thing at least, and that is we had good wealth CT for the Fourth.
 To Play in Milford.
 The Naugatuck fire department team will go to Milford tomorrow to play the strong team of that place. The Naugatuck team scored victory over this team here couple of weeks ago, and the Milford team will the strengthened for to-morrow's game. and a good game is expected. A large number from here will go with them to Milford.
