COLONIAL CARELESSNESS. tTsingr i School ns a Storehouse For Gunpowder. Distressing accidents, such as we find chronicled iu the newspapers of our colonial era, bring home vividly to posterity the fact that dangers to life and limb existed before the day of the lynamite cracker and the automobile. Children, rambling outdoors, and grown persons besides, says the author of "Americans of 177G," would pick and eat strange berries, roots and vegetables that turned out poisonous, and in vain did newspapers warn against mnshrooms, hemlock, ivy and other growing things. Clumsiness at work on the part of the injured or Injurer did much mortal mischief.' A man dropped from his ladder or scaffolding while repairing a bouse or was scalded to death by an overturned kettle of potash or maple sap. We read of .a father and three sons who were killed by suffocation, one: after another, while descending into a pit without first testing for car bonic aeid. i'eopie were careless, moreover, m the use of powder and firearms when the Revolutionary era began. At Hart ford the legislature voted joyfully to the townsfolk two barrels of powder for volleys in honor of the repeal of the stamp act. The powder was kept in a schoolhouse, and the militiamen, when filling their horns with it, left some spilled on the floor. The school children, playing vrith the black grains, set them on fire and i the train led to a powder barrel, which j exploded with tremendous concussion, j The schoolhouse was blown up and j many children were killed. I A fire in Andover in 1770 burned to J the ground an old house next the meet- j ing house, and its three lonely and ! aged inmates perished in the flames, j uui yroviaenuaiiy, as one newspaper i remarked, the church escaped r.n- i harmed. i Two old maiden sisters, it seems, j were m the habit of smoking their pipes after they got into bed. whence, probably, the disaster. '-Therefore," adds the chronicler, "it may not be amiss to caution people against such a practice."'
