Monday there was some little excite
ment in the vicinity of the city farm,
when two sleighs went over the emhank
ment. The center of the road is practi,
cally bare, and it is necessary for teams
to turn out on the side OF the road in
order to travel on the snow, but here
the road slopes considerably The first
team to get into trouble was the Stand
ard Oil, for as the driver turned out
the tank began to turn over. The man
jumped and the tank, containing 500 gal
Ions of oil, went over the embankment,
None of the oil was spilled, and after
few hours the sleigh was righted and
the team went on to Worcester Not
long after, the Shambo truck sleigh tried
the same experiment, with the same
result. The sleigh was filled with house
hold goods, which were being moved
from Morrisville to Montpelier. They
all went into the ditch and remained
there until yesterday morning, as the
accident happened at 1880 o'clock Mon
