The milk cans and young BADMAN were thrown in the gutter, while the horse kept up his mad flight until he reached home without the wagon and driver. Mr. SHANELY hurriedly went in search of the boy. He soon found the demolished wagon alongside of the road and this was a sure sign that the young man had met with an accident. Continuing on his hunt for the boy, he found him lying in the gutter near the top of the hill in an unconscious condition, with blood flowing from his mouth, nostrils and ears.

FROM OUR CORPS OF ALBE CORRESPONDENTS

SUMNEYTOWN

At the close of the services on Sunday afternoon in the Sumneytown church, Miss Elsie S. RENNINGER, organist and her sister, Bertha, a member of the choir, daughters of Nathan RENNINGER, of Perkiomenville, proceeded to the open sheds to get their teams to drive home. Just as they were in the act of loosening the hitching strap the horse suddenly jumped backward and tore the blind-halter from off his head and at once started at a fearful gait down the road leading the village; when turning the corner at the turnpike the top of the buggy broke loose and landed on the pavement on the opposite side of the street. The horse however continued his mad flight up the street striking trees and hitching posts by the side of the road until a strong post in front of the residence of Benjamin NASE was struck where the horse tore himself loose from the partly demolished buggy. The horse being loose, soon turned and came running down the street at break-neck speed and ran into the yard at EMERT's hotel where he was caught and taken home. The horse received no injuries but the carriage and harness are an almost total wreck. As there were numbers of pedestrans and carriages on the street going home from church and the runaway team dashing through them at a terrific speed, it is a miracle that no one was injured. Several pedestrians however, very narrowly escaped by jumping the pale fence into the adjoining yards.

Frank BARNDT of the firm Barndt & Cressman, bought of James S. MILLER at private figures a tract of land of about 5 acres fronting on Main street in the lower part of village. Mr. BARNDT intends to erect a building thereon which is to be used as a shoe factory.
