Fortunate Escape. The Troy Wing gives
The following particulars of the rescue of the
passengers in the stage to Boston, via Green
field, on Friday:
II ascended the hill about mile and a
half east of Troy, where the road passes a.
lang the banks of the Poestenkill creek at
The height of from 100 to 160 feet above the
rocks and water below. Between the road
and the decliyity down the bank, there is q
ridge of earth and rock of several feet in
height, and of considerable width, which is
ample protection to the road. By some I'M
accountable means the horses, the driver was
probably asleep, got upon this ridge in going
IN the ascent, instead of keeping the road,
and passed along upon it some distance. A
passenger who was on the drivers box, it be-
ing somewhat dark, discovered the danger,
and warned his fellow passengers OF it. At
ter the passengers had left the stage, and the
driver had backed it little farther, the king
bolt came out, and the hind wheels, with the
body Of the coach, were precipitated down
the bank and rocks about 100 or $50 feet and
literally dashed to pieces on the dry rock by
the side of the water. The baggage was

and lost, the trunks having been split and
broken. The proprietors, Messrs. Baker u
Walker, promptly paid yesterday the passen-
gers for the loss of their trunks and baggage,
to the amount of about $500. &sA - ~
Ancient Families correspondent of the
United States Gazette, writing from Dorches-
ter, speaks of the tanning establishment of
our venerable fellow-citizen Deacon Hum
phreys, of whom it is a little remarkable, that
he follows the same occupation which has
been followed by six generations of his direct
ancestors before him, since the arrival of the
first in 1857 that is, for 1919 years, and upon
thesame spot, or very nearly the same, which
was used by all of the series. Some of the
pits dug by the original settler are still sound.
Theso ofthe old gentleman is now the man
ager Of the business, and the grandson, we

Of the same. The former IS of the seventh ge-
neration, of course; and now that we are a.
mong triies and personalities, which are no.
torious enough, to be sure, in the region round
about it will do perhaps to add the circunl-
stance, that the lady of this gentleman, not
long since married, is one of the seventh sue
cesslon, In like manner, from the first Dor
chester settler of her own name, and that her
hneal ancestors have also been the constant
occupants of the estate selected by him, down
to the present time. In such a restless and
ever-changing population as ours is, these ca

The Times is annoyed at the loan oftwelye

by the Bank Of the United States, at a 1-2 per
cent. per annum, and inquiries, What does
