DISTRESSING ACCIDENTAL most painful
and distressing accident occurred in this vii
lage on Friday afternoon last, which resulted
in the death of little girl, about 10 years
old, daughter of Mr.. VIM. R. Page, one of
the proprietors of the Steam saw mill in this
place. 1t appears that Mr.. Page and family
were boarding temporarily at the Eagle Ho-
tel, and he, with his wife, had just left for
the afternoon, to make preparations for NOV
ing into their new residence, when an older
daughter, and daughter of Mr.. E. Rayns-
ford, arranged to ride out upon horseback,
but before getting upon their horses, they
concluded to let the little girl ride short
distance. They had not proceeded far in this
way, when the horse became somewhat frac-
tious, and lodged out Of their reach, the lit
tie girl in the meantime slid from the horses
back, her foot catching in the strap of the
stirrup. AT this juncture the horse became
frightened, and commenced running, tramp
ling upon and bruising the girl at every step
in most horrible manner. The horse ran
to the stable, and when the girl was secured,
life was nearly extinct, and though entirely
senseless she continued to breathe about an
hour. This was certainly the most painful
scene it has ever been our lot to witness and
we hope never to behold another such. The
frightfnl and truly awful death of this little
girl should serve as timely warning to all
grown persons, to be extremely cautious how
they permit children to have anything to do
with horses, as it is often the case that the
most trifing circumstance will cause them to
take fright, and some serious accident is the
consequence. Ionia Gazette.

PoRTENTUoUs.-"W When Greek meets
Greek, then comes the tug of war;" Mr..
Park, who was driven by "border ruffians'
from his residence, at Parkville, Missouri, has
returned thither. Immediately upon his ar
rival his former assailants renewed hostilities,
and threatened forcible ejectment if that
gentleman did not consent, of his own free
will, to absent himself from that State during
the term of his natural life. The citizens of
Parkville entered nobly into the breach, and
have issued an address, in which they avow
their purpose to resist with their lives any at
tempt to further modest that gentleman. 1t
is, therefore, probable that the cowardly mis-
creants will permit him to remain in peace.

Female Preventive Police.

Montgomery street San Francisco, few
weeks back, was daily enlvend by numerous
encounters between belicose gentlemen, and
the spirit of pugnacity, as in dog kennel ruled
supreme. These continual disgraceful scenes,
touched powerful cord in the female breast,
and the ladies determined that they would no
longer permit that thoroughfare to be made the
field where handsome young men were batter
ed over the countenances and their "human
forms divine" rolled in the mud. They are pro-
verbally quick folk to execute, and this is the
way they did it, as related by the sprightly lit
tie Tom Talk:
They we'll know that their sweet presence is
power more potent than the giants arm, or
Natchez' knives or pistols, and with that pure
spirit of love for man. so characteristic of their
delicate sex, they have thrown themselves into
rich flounces, jumped into high-heeled boots,
and under heart breaking curls and ''ducks OF
bonnets," have taken quiet but almost complete
possession of that murderous thoroughfare.
1t would be hard matter now to scare up a
fight on Montgomery street. during the day
time. A man will not apply an epithet to you
for fear OF offending some female ear and if he
did, you could scarcely raise your arm 10 strike
him without bunging some lady's eye. The fair
sex evidently understand their business, and
cast their fine forms and smiling faces in the
way OF gentlemen at every opportunity. This
is precisely as it should be. Nearly two days
have elapsed since an ugly occurrence, and we
have not the slightest doubt that, if the ladies
will only continue in the good work they have
so nobly commenced, we may never have to re-
cord another Montgomery street knock-down.
