| One sagacious horse in the neigh
borhood of Pawlet took IL into his
head to go to the fair alone and start
ed off, taking the direction in which
a vast number of teams nad passed
early Tuesday morning. He overlook
most of them, and carefully guided
the buggy to which he was attached
around them, and pursued his way
Most of the drivers that he passed
were too astonished to even make an
effort to stop him. whicl he would
doubtless have resented. He would
have reached the old haunts at the
fair grounds in triumph had not an
over jealous youth on a bicycle inter
fered.

stream. Mr.. Faxon narrowly escap-
ed being killed but had leg broken
In two places and terribly crushed.
The numerous and frequent accidents
around Dorset at bridges having no
guard rails, should arouse the inter
est of any public spirited citizen to
the necessity of putting in substantial
and safe structures of iron to span
t'ne streams.
