town of Bingham, at the home of San

from Auburn, New Sharon, Wilton,
Starks, Embden, Bingham, Industry
and Madison. Dinner was served on
a well constructed table, with forty
plates under large maple trees. The
table was laden with all the whole
some food of the olden and modern
times. No dyspeptics or invalids sat
at that table as their appotites would
truthfully testify. After dinner, the

occurred on Tuesday evening last, by
which several of our citizens came
near loosing their lives. A party
consisting of fourteen ladies and
gentlemen chartered Hill & Haines
large double team to take a ride to
Norridgewock on the ice. When
about a mile this side of that village
from some cause the horses became
frightened and ran away. During
the panic, several jumped from the
sleigh, among who was Miss Lucinda
Bosworth, who was so severely in
jured that for some hours her life
was despaired of and she is not con-
sidered out of danger. Mr.. Silas LIE
land, Miss Nellie futile and two or
three others were injured. In fact
all that were in the sleigh were more
or less injured. 1t is a wonder that
some of them were not killed.
March 2, 1S67-The most choice and
handsomest pattern for Ladies col
lars and cuffs that we have ever seen
is a new affair just introduced by Mr..
Henry Plummer. 1t is an imitation
of wrought lace and can hardly be
distinguished from an expensive linen
collar, except upon close inspection.
Mr.. Plummer has the agency for the
county and they are going off like

March O 1S67-Miss COrris Stevens
daughter of Harrison Stevens, for
merly of Embden, committed suicide
in this village on Saturday by drown
ing. She was at work at the Turner
House in the capacity of table girl
and had shown no previous symptoms
which would induce anyone to sup
pose that she intended to commit
such an act. On Saturday morning
she arose as usual and attended to
her table duties at the six o'clock
