Il smash mp. The coach which left this for Iy-
rome. Monday morning. was upset on the hill
this side of Cearfeld Creek and literally smashed
to pieces ALEX. IRrIs. Esq. of this place, Mr.
GEORGE --. and man named HoLDES
were seriously. but not dangerously injured. Mr..
Irwin returned 10 town wi;A very arm. shoul-
der. and breast. The c'her passengers. four in
number, escaped uninjured. Two of the hunters
on board, had their guns badly broken, and
their game scattered The accident owing to
the inability of the horses to hold back the coach
on the icy hill and the inefciency of the rubbers.
1t would be hard TO find lot of vehickles IN worse
order, ia al tbose this route.
