Mr. EprToR AN awful--awful calamity
has hefalen our village. MIR Jonathan Smith
Jr., n merchant of this place, and postmaster
was killed instantly on the 9Th inst. His wife
was also so much injured that it is thought
she cannot recover. Mr. Smith, with his wife
and three children, had been out 10 rldo on
the road which passes from the village up by
the Jail towards Vershre, and was returning
home, when his horse ran off the highway,
down steep bank twenty eight feet into the
stream. Mr. Smith was killed in II moment;
one arm was broken and his head somewhat
mutilated. The horse lay partly on the lady,
and the children were burt some: but these
little children gave an alarpI, reporting that
their father and mother were both dead =
The mother, however, was not dead, but II IL
greatly feared she cannot live. Mr. Smiths
funeral was held to-day-sermon by Rev. Mr.
Hubbard. A great concourse of people at
tended. Solemn gloom hangs over our whole
community. "lu the midst oflile we are III

We learn that Mrs. Smith was alive last
