Biddulph
A very exciting scene was witnessed
by a few on the Sauhle one day last
week. Wrn. Davis had the misfor-
tune to let his team get away from
him while at work at his house. They
took across the field eastward with a
spring tooth harrow attached to them
jumping two barbed wire fences be-
fore reaching the concession. The
harrow struck with terrific force,
drawing three or "four costs clear
from the ground, and leaving the har-
rows and part of the harness there.
By this time William was seen com-
ing in the distance, but did not stop
to observe what had befallen the fenclE
but kept his eyes southward in that
exciting direction, and soon found
himself on the ground opposite Tho-
mas Dickens, where the team awaited
his coming. Fortunately the animals
were not hurt, outside of a few scrat-
ches, but it is evident that some ma-
clline agent will have the pleasure of
placing a new harrow there.

popular young people of this place
were united in marriage Wednesday
morning at St. Patrick's church, when
Miss Bridget Collison, daughter . of
