To prove it we publish the follow ing item, from an old paper. It states that on the n th ofjune, 1852, there were heavy frosts all over New England, and in Livingston county, N. Y., 300 sheep that had been sheared a few days befors were frozen to death .—Bath Plaindealer. T homas D ow l in g , of this village, had a narrow escape from serius injury Satur day night. He was In the second story of the Ackley House on lower Main street, and fell from the door to the ground, a distance of about fifteen feet, striking on his head and shoulders. He was not made unconscious by the fall, and was picked up and carried back into the place, where it was found that he had escaped with a few minor cuts and numerous bruises about the head.

At a late hour Friday evening an acci dent happened in Main Street which nar rowly escaped being very serious for at least one of the particlpaute. Charles Roy, a young farmer living in the town of Benton, a few miles north of this village, was driving down the street when he met two rigs which were apparently engaged in a test of speed. The driver of one of them, who was intoxicated, was on the wrong side of the road, and had entirely lost control of his horse. Roy made every effort to escape a collision, crowding to the curb, but the rigs collided, his horse being torn loose from the buggy, which was thrown completely around, he being thrown from it; landing head foremost on the stone sidewalk. Though aerlouely bruised, he escaped broken bones through a heavy robe which fell under him. Hie horse was caught by bystanders. The other rig was overturned, but its owner hastily righted it and drove off. The driver was recognized as Ashley Hatch, who aleo lives in Benton, near Bellona, and a warrant was sworn out for him on Railroad Time Tables.

Jennie Louise Hoyt Cleland, of Naples, was arrested in Canandaigua on Tuesday of last week, charged with kid napping her ten-year-old son. About four years ago she was divorced from her hue- band, a farmer living near Inglestde, Steuben County, and he was given the custody of their children. According to the woman’s story she saw the boy while on a recent visit to her sister, and his con dition was such that she decided to take him to the hospital at Canandaigua for treatment. The lad’s arm had been broken, and, it is said, it will have to be broken again In order to be properly set. — Democrat. An ingenious fish trap is said to be used quite extensively in Lake Keuka. It is made of poultry netting, of cylindrical form, with a convex head. The fish en ter the trap through a small aperture, through which they are unable to escape. Pickerel, perch, and bass are most com monly taken. As many as ninety have been caught in one night in a single trap. The device promises to be more destruct ive to these varieties than the gill net, as it will be much harder to locate, and can be made very cheaply by almost anyone. —Hammondsport Herald.

In still sunshine it would have taken half a day, yet nothing like so well done. Why, is among the curi ous small secrets of nature’s processes the wise men have y e t to find out.
