The old house of Frederic Ayer at 
Pride’s Crossing, is rapidly being torn 
down by Messrs. Connolly Bros., who

ery busily engaged there rushing the 
preliminary work for the foundation of 
the new house. 
All the brick to be used in the 
construction of the Frederick Ayer 
house at Prides Crossing will come 
from Manchester, a deal having been 
made by F. L. Whitcomb, — the 
contractor, to buy all the brick, 
some 600,000 or 700,000 in number, 
at the Manchester brick yard, from 
Israel Martin. Mr. Martin sold at 
a good figure and will do the haul- 
ing.

Wm. A. Spinney Seriously Injured 
in Accident at West Manchester. 
William A. Spinney, gardener at 
the T. Dennie Boardman estate, West 
Manchester, met with a most serious 
accident Tuesday afternoon, which 
came near ending fatally. His life, in 
fact, was at first despaired of, but it is 
now thought he will survive. 
Mr. Spinney was loading a wagon 
with brush and branches that had 
been cut from a tree on the Boardman 
estate, and it is supposed the horse, 
which was recently purchased in Bos- 
ton, was hit by one of the branches as 
it was thrown into the cart. It 
started and Mr. Spinney grabbed the 
_reins which he had thrown over the 
front of the cart. He held fast and 
as the frightened animal darted 
forward Mr. Spinney fell, wedging his 
head between the wheel and a tree. 
One of his ears was practically torn 
off, but it was sewed on and it is 
thought the member will be saved. 
His face was bruised awfully anda 
blood vessel was broken ‘on the 
opposite side of his head. His 
shoulder was also considerably 
bruised 
Drs. Blaisdell and Glendenning 
were called and Dr. Washburn of 
Manchester and Dr. Porter of Beverly 
Farms were also called in for con- 
sultation. 
Mrs. Spinney and daughter Claire 
were at the White Mountains on a 
short vacation at the time of the acci- 
dent, but by travelling over the moun- 
tains and making connections with 
trains, they were able to reach home 
late that night. Bertram, a son, was 
in St. Louis, but he has since returned 
home. 
Mr. Spinney is about 60 years of 
age and last winter he passed through 
a serious illness.
