Shocking .Accidsnt.-The mail stage
from Albany to Northampton, within
six miles Of the latter place, was upset
on the evening of Thursday last. There
were eight passengers inside, and one,
q young msn. son Of Rev Mr.. Tower
Of Millbnry, on the outside with the
driver. The driver aud Mr.. Tower
were, thrown from the seat on to a
ledge of rocks. The driver died in
about an hour Mr.. Tower lived till 81
O'Clock next morning. The rest Of the
passengers were much bruised. Only
two were men. Que had his leg broken.
The other six, women and children.
were more or'Iess injured. The col
lar.bone Of one was much frsctured.--
The driver uever spoke after he was
taken up, and the young man who was
thrown from the seat with him was un-
able to give any account Of the cause
of the accident. The passengers inside
knew nothing more Of it, th1n that at
the bottom Of very steep hill, !he
carriage was suddenly upset. 1t was
sonjectured that the carriage came 10
the middle Of the road till it reached
the foot of the hill, and that the horses
were then frigh ened or that the haI-
ness broke and turned the carriage sud
denly from the road. One of the fe-
males " no had an infant and one or two
other children, crawled from the car
risge and went TO a house at some dis
+ tance, and obtained the aid Of its inhab.
itants. The leading horses escaped
when the carriage upset; the other two
were found lying on the rocks with the
body Of the carriage upon them.
