Elmer Woodwork was bringing Miss
Della Kinney to this village Saturday
evening, when just as they were coming
down the hill this side of the Manchester,
the horse took fright at the unexpected
sight of the pictures on the bill board at
the foot of the hill and broke into run.
The carriage struck the side of the iron
bridge over Ayers brook and was pretty
thoroughly smashed to pieces as to
/ wheels, whiffietree, etc. Both people
were, of course, thrown out and Miss
Kinney had her left arm and side badly
bruised but, fortunately, no bones were
broken. A good many nags, it is under

shocked at that particular billboard,

The pleasant location of Mr.. and Mrs.
E. E. Brooks at Pasadena, CAL, for the
winter is sc happily described in q letter
from Mrs. Brooks that a perusal of the
joys of life in that genial CLINE may make
the home-bound reader forget for a mo-
ment the registration of the last cold
morning before the kitchen fire was built.
"We had a very delightful and comfort
able trip across Uncle Sans domains and
found that we were not the only deluded
mortals with the California fever. Travel
was heavy and ninety-nine out of q hum
bred had Los Angeles as their Mecca.
West from Ogden our train ran in fifteen
sections and there were fourteen cars in
our section.
"We looked about Los Angeles several
days but decided that as q place of resi-
dence, Pasadena had many points in its
favor. 1t is city of beautiful homes.
We are very pleasantly located on Galena
avenue, just off the car line and within
easy walking distance OF everything. We
have large sunny rooms with electric
lights and gas for cooking purposes, and
from the porch get a grand outlook to the
Sierra Madre mountains, which are five
miles away but do not appear to be more
than two.
$50 far the weather has been delightful
and summer clothes are all that are
needed for comfort. We have an air-tight
stove but all the food it has needed SO far
to take the chill off some mornings has
been newspaper and a small stick or two
not much like shoveling ten tons of
. coal.
"About three weeks ago there came a
rain, unusually early, so everything is
fresh and green, and flowers and palms in
profusion are ON every hand. We are
feasting on green peas, string beans,
corn, celery-in fact all kinds of vegeta-
bles at reasonable prices, with lovely
strawberries and melons. Grapes are
nearly gone by ana it is too early for
oranges, which are getting yellow now
and look very pretty on the green trees.
"Los Angeles is nine miles away,
reached by steam cars and three trolley
lines at 20 cents for the round-trip if by
Communication ticket"
