The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, August 2, 1889 Windsor 8/2/1889 J. TEBADO, while at work for W. H. BARRETT, fell through the trap-door of the high beams, striking on his head in the wagon beneath, rendering him insensible for two or three days, but is now improving. Miss Diana HAGAR, who has been sick with dropsy for more than a year, died July 29th. About 50 tickets were sold, Tuesday morning, for the excursion to Providence Island. The train left at 6 a. m., and came back before 10 p. m., less than an hour late. A ride across the hills to Woodstock, July 29th, shows a larger amount of hay uncut than usual for this date. Corn is growing finely, oats badly lodged, and potatoes rusting. Some farmers seem to be getting reckless, and without regard to the weather, over 20 tons of hay were down on one farm, Tuesday morning, besides 10 acres of grain. Heavy showers, Monday and Tuesday, washed the hill roads badly; and some corn-fields were badly flattened by the wind. A house owned by Mrs. FREEMAN, on Buena Vista, was struck by lightning and considerably damaged, but it did not take fire. The family were away.
