Mr.. Clopp, the owner of tho stage that caused
the accident, was driving at the time, and is said
driver in the employ of Messrs Porter & Wolfe,
and came very nigh at one time, running him up
on couple fdrays in the street. The accident
originated in his having run against the leading
horses Of the other stage, which caused them to
fly off to the pavement; and the driver, in en-
deavoring to reign them off, and keep from run

A tuft of moss from the ancient rock,

For his hopes and his wishes are with the dead;
A wreath for the old mans dropping head.
