Beat this. Within the last four weeks, the
fremont line Of stages between this city and Pro-
violence, has met with a variety of accidents,
such as upsetling, breaking axle trees, &C. but no
lives lost.
The Citizens line, however, has gone ahead Of
the fremont, and every other line Of which we
know any thing, in one particular, and that is in
regard to human life. That line not only has ne.
yer lost life, but-what is quite remarkable in
any line of stages-it has positively added to the
number of the human family. On last Friday.
the wife of an Irishman was delivered of twins in
the stage between Providence and Dedham,
which were alive at the last accounts and likely
to do we'll. There were luckily no other pa.sen.
