 Two children Francis Sprague and Maggie Wiluns, each about or 8 years old had an exciting experience while coasting down the Prospect street hill Saturday,. The icy surface gave their sled an impetus that carried them at rapid speed across the Main street, be- tween tias Howe block and Sprague's barn, where the bank drops a sheer 50 feet to, the bottom of the guloh.. Theme was no protecting wall or fence at ths edge, and the sled, children and all leaped off, into the air and dropped agadnst the branches of a cedar Christi mas, tree that had been thrown there, a few feet above the brook. At this point the children were thrown from the sled and rolled down into the bpooR. They were extricated without difficulty, and miraeulously escaped injury. A person looking at the spot cannot help wondering that the children were not killed outright.
