A REMARKABLE OCCURENCE —The sympathy of the neighbors and friends of Amos Callaghan of Lot 65, was keenly felt on the af- ternoon of January 4th, when his house, which is being moved from his farm in Lot 30 to the place where he now lives at Lot 65 corn- er. a distance of almost two miles. took a sudden backward run when 1t was within twenty-five yards of its landing place. It ran back- ward almost twent, chains on an angle and landed sightly damaged to a halt, otherwise ii: would have in a mild hole which brought it landed in the woods. This house was moved off its owii cellar early iii November and Mr. Callaghan has undergone considerable ex- pense and hardship through wet, windy and story weather, securing help for many days, bearing the burden patiently and it seems too, bad that this hard luck should overtaken him when he thought he was about at the end of the giurney. Credit 1s due Mr. Frank . MoQuaid, building mover, for sticking to his post. through thick and thin, always giving a word of encouragement and urging the workers on, as he had a very rough road to travel across fields. into hollows even across a brook. then, up a stee incline.

M1‘. Callaghan and his crew were not to be discouraged. for they immediately set to work to move back the gear to where the house had landed and once more bring it. up the hill to its destination. ‘the neighbors hope good luck will stay with lilm 111' i l l 1 his attempt.
