young lady whose parents reside II
Cadosia, N. Y, was on his way from
HonesdaIe up the Dyberry road toward
Kimble's, en- route for Hancock, n Y
On reaching what is known as the Big
Eddy on the Dyberry Creek, where q
sharp turn occurs in the road, with O
high and precipitous bank on the river
side, the rear wheels OF the auto skid'
ded to the right, and in O moment the
machine was upside down over the
edge Of the declivity, being prevented
from absolutely crushing out the lives
OF those beneath it only by the bushes
and stones into which it plunged and
which so entangled it as to prevent its
farther fall. That all we're not killed
outright seems really proVidential, and
looking at the mishap in this light, the
real injuries inflicted may well be re-
garded as trivial. Mlss Day was the
most seriously hurt, two bones OF her
right wrist being fractured. The others,
with the exception Of few bruises on
the baby, escaped practically unharm-
ed. Even the machine itself came
through with but little damage, and at-
ter receiving the attentions OF machin-
ist Charles Gibbs, was driven 10 town,
and has since been cavorting about our
streets. Fortunately for the party, DR..
McConVill, who had been paying pre-
fessional visit farther up the Dyberry,
chanced to be near the scene Of the
mishap when it occurred, aud taking
Miss Day in his carriage, brought her
to Honesdale, and gave necessary at.
tention to her broken wrist. Accom-
panied by Mrs. Smith, che was able TO
proceed to her home III Cadosia by rail

The only fly in the ointment" at
the recent 5hoemskers' outing, at Lake
Lodore was the treatment poor livery
horse received at the hands Of his cruel
drivers, and the behavior of the young
msn who had hired him for the occasion.
The whip welts on the painting beasts
sides, as the party drove into the park,
at.rscted general attention, and indig
nart comment from many; ard tho un
ruly and abusive condition Of the offend
ing young men finally resulted in tn
confiscating OF the horse by OH go
Spencer, who sent him to town with a
more humane driver, and forced the of
tenders to return by train.
