of the smash ahead and moment later
an auto containing four persons dashed
past them barely missing a collision of
the wheels. Going ahead their front
lights reflected dark object in the
road which proved to be Webb Scott
badly dazed and unable to tell what had
happened. He was assisted into the
auto, and continuing on, the wagon
was found bottom side up beside the
road with the ponies a little way from
it. At Coventry, finding that Scott
was badly hurt, Mr.. Hermon left him
with Mr.. Shippee, who Immediately
took him to his hone in Orleans. Physi-
clans were called in, and an examina-
ton disclosed three broken ribs, the
right arm,-made stiff in some former
accident-broken in two places, and a
badly scratched face.
In the meantime Scott with others re-
turned to the scene Of the accident and
found one of the ponies had a broken
foot or ankle, and DIR. Eastman was
phoned for, who came and placed the
leg in splints, and they were taken to
Coventry. An examination Of the road
proved as we are told by those who eX-

team and auto had turned out more than
half of the road, but that the auto, as
the tracks indicated had turned back
too quick, thereby striking the rear
wheel of the team, as the marks on the
wheel later proved. A further search
revealed Buick wheel cap to the auto,
and as the parties running it did not
stop to see the result of the accident
systematic search was made the next
morning to see who owned it. The next
day the auto was found as belonging to
the G. j. Oben Co., and was run on the
night in question by Mr.. Marvin, who,
as we understand it, is one of the chauf-
feurs for the company. Indeed. we
are told that Mr.. Marvin admitted he
was running the auto but that he was
not aware any accident had happened or
he would have stopped. ~ p.

Nothing appears to have been &C.
complished pursuant to these votes
of the pl oprietors in relation to To-
eating and lotting the town, and its
actual boundaries were not establish
ed until the year 1885.
Gen. James Whitclaw, of Ryegate,
Surveyor-General of the State, taking
the mouth of the lower Ammonoosuc
river as a starting point, and pro-
ceeding N. 80 miles, arrived at a
point designated as the true one for
commencing the southern boundary
of Guildhall. Beginning at this
point on the Connecticut river, a
line was run in due NV. direction
six miles; thence in a N. E. course
six miles, thence in S. E. course to
the Connecticut.
The intention seems to have been
to lay out the towns in this region
six miles square, and such towns
contain %, 040 acres. but the form of
this town, necessitated by the angle
formed in taking the first direction
by the S. line and the river, together
with the irregular course of the lat
ter, making the north boundary line
much less than six miles. reduces its
area to 10, ATT acres.

Death of Mrs. Rebecca N. Ruther-

lUtu.
The following notice is taken from
the New York Herald:
"Mrs. Rebecca M. Rutherford, eighty
two years old, is dead in her home, No.
5O4 West 151st street, of general debili-
ty. She was the widow of Brigadier-
General R. c. Rutherford, Civil War
veteran, editor and scientist, who died
twenty years ago. She was born at
Quincy, H., of old New England stock.
Her ancestors fought in the Revolution.
Mrs. Rutherford accompanied her hus.
band to the front in the Civil War. He
was with Grant at Vicksburg, and
afterward was transferred to the secret
service. He was brevetted Brigadier-
General by President Lincoln. Mrs.
Rutherford had lived in this city for
twenty seven years. She leaves four
children:-Mr. George A., Mr.. Robin
F., Miss Mary Corinne and Miss Estella
Maria Rutherford She will be buried
at Newport, VT, beside her husband. !"
Mrs. Rutherford's death occurred on
the 4th of September, and her burial on
the 9Th. She was placed beside her
husband in the Rutherford lot in the
cemetery at West Derby village. 1t
will be remembered by some that her
husband was the brother of DR.. Joseph

Sunday Nights Gale.

The terrific hurricane of Sunday night
was prolific in destruction of property
in this vicinity but without any accident
or loss to human life. The telephone
and electric light system was badly
tangled up, and TO avoid any serious re-
suits from crossed and broken wires,
which at 10 clock was already causing
the whistle to give false alarms, the
whole electric current was cut off. the
next morning only one or two telephone
lines were working, and the electric
light system was dead. A full force of
men were put to work and in the after
noon the lights were again on and the
power working.
Much damage is reported to boats and
lighthouses up and down the lake. In
town six or more power boats were sunk
through the effects of the wind and a
small boathouse belonging to Moore
was driven across the bay. The tai
southwest chimney of the courthouse
was blown over. smashing in some parts
of the roof. A barn on the Lake road
was unroofed, and an unoccupied house
near Newport Center was blown over.
The new house built by Pearl Johnson
and situated on top of the hill on the
Derby Center road just outside of West
Derby was blown over and totally de-
stroyed. Fortunately the family were
away on visit. This is quite loss to
Mr.. Johnson, as he is poor man and
has had to work hard and long time to
erect this new home through his own
efforts. The house was not quite finish
ed inside, but it contained all his house
hold effects which must have been more
or less damaged.
One of the greatest losses must have
been to the woods and sugar orchards.
One man reported that he lost u second
growth naples in his orchard, and that
he saw one maple orchard that was
practically destroyed. In town some
trees were blown over and limbs strip
ped from others, leaving the streets in

The impossible.

The Duke of Wellington wanted II
certain piece OF work done and in
structed an officer of the Royal engi-
neers to do it. After examination the
officer told the duke it was impossible.
The duke sent for another officer, a
much younger man and attached to an
other division of the army. This officer
did what the duke required.
The next morning there appeared in
the orders of the day" the following
epigrammatic note: He who in war
fails to do what he undertakes may al
ways plead accident which invariably
attends military affairs, but he who
declares a thing to be impossible which
is subsequently accomplished registers
his own incapacity."

Automobile Accident.

A serious automobile accident took
place on the Coventry road near the
Putney place last Friday night. 1t
seems that Webb Scott of Orleans was
on his way home from Newport driving
pair of ponies he had owned for many
years. 1t was between nine and ten
o'clock at night. When on the straight
piece of road just north of the Putney
place he was met and run into by an
unknown auto which did not stop to
see the result of the accident. A little
more to the north Leland Hermon and
wife were going toward Coventry in
their auto when they heard the impact
