and are dead. His mother-in law, and hired
man were also stabbed, but are still living. No
further particulars are known, and no cause
assigned for the act. 1t is reported that Mrs.
Van Ness ran about sixty rods. when her bow
els gushed out, and she fell dead. MIR. ", it
is said, attempted to 60 up stairs for his gun,
and fell dead; the child, about two years old.
was torn open from its shoulder, entirely across

AZ PRESENCE OF MIND.-The Hartford Cou-
rant states, that as Mrs. Patterson was cross
ing the railroad bridge, the train Of cars from
Springfield came down and nearly overlook
her before she noticed them, when, in attempt
ing 10 get off the track, at the south end fthe
bridge, she stumbled and fell and not having
sufficient time to get upon the outside Of the
track before the cars overlook her, she had the
remarkable presence of mind to arrange herself
J between the rails, with her face and person
close to the ground, and also 10 unite her bon
met string, when the whole train passed i'm
imediately over her without causing the least
7 injury ry--except horrible fright.
