 The frequent passing of automobiles through the village last Sunday caused one of our residents, who spends a goodly portion of his time enjoying sitting on his piazza, to amuse him. self by counting the number. In the hours through the middle of the day over one hundred passed, in another section of the village forty-nine were seen to go by in three hours. If as many trains of cars passed over grade crossing in as short time an accident might be looked for.
