 Wallace F. Bulkley had a strange experience a few nights ago. At mid night he was aroused from his sweet SlumberS by loud talking, much CUTS ing and singing in his door yard. He hastily dressed and going out found two well known gentlemen from Greenfield Hill in a wagon, both drunk as lords. One was pulling the poor horse one way, and one the other. They had been to Bridgeport and got filled up. The horse backed up against the house, ran the wagon in to a garden seat which soon succumb- ed to the pressure, and finally landed on the front steps.
