Fearful Ride down a Noun
tain,

The Richmond Whig publishes the par
ticulars of stage accident, which recently
occurred on Morris Mountain. 49, -yss
On the morning of the I'd inst, at d
o'clock, party, 81 in number, left the
White ulphur Springs for the terminus of
the Central Railroad. All went on pleas
antly till about II or o'clock in the day,
and shortly after commencing the descent
of Morris Mountain, when it become alarm
ingly apparent to the passengers in the ad-
vance coach that the horses were running
away; and, to increase their terror, the dri-
yer was seen rolling in the dust. The hor-
ses, thus left unchecked, went dashing on
in their mad career, the coach reeling from
side to side under its heavy top-load, first
upon the two wheels nearest the precipice
and then inclining in an opposite direction,
until at last it was thrown violently over,
mangling, bruising and crushing the limbs
of the terrified passengers, killing one horse
and breaking the leg of another. To add
to the confusion of the scene, the horses
which were not disabled continued to drag
the wreck over the ground, while the oc-
cupants were indiscriminately piled up and
unable to help themselves. The thrilling
incidents which followed are thus described
by passenger: AT1 = i''-E
I could neither speak nor move TO help
myself, being completely paralyzed with
horror, though 1 could see distinctly all
that was going on. Two or three persons
were on top of me, and verify believed that
all my companions were killed. At this
critical moment, the rear coach came dash
ing down the mountain as if in hot pursuit.
A young man who occupied deck seat
leaped off without waiting for the horses
to slacken their speed, and hastened to our
assistance. Jumping upon the upturned
coach, he extricated the only lady passen-
ger, and, calling a Mr.. Davis to aid him,
supported her to a seat in the coach they
had left. Leaving her under tine charge Of
some ladies, he returned to the rescue of
others. i have since learned that the name
of this noble hearted young gentleman is
Morrison, a resident of New York. He
had under his care three ladies, Mrs. HUI
ger and two Misses Huger, of South Car
olina, who also rendered efficient service in
administering to the necessities of the
wounded.
With regard to the wounded, I may state
that Judge Fry seemed to be more severe
ly hurt than any one else, his injuries be-
ing most about the head. A boy, whose
name understood to be Gay, from Staun-
ton, was delirious from the effects of very
severe confusion on the left temple. One
gentleman, said to be from Norfolk, had
both arms dreadfally mashed and one eye
severely cut. The lady passenger, who
was travelling under the charge of Judge
Fry, had severe cut over one eye, and her
left arm very much bruised. / was hurt
All, however, are doing well,
and will no doubt recover

A Horrible and FiendisIl
.ssE Assassination -
MARION, Texas. Sept, 4.

MAhiON, IeAdS, sept. 4, 1000.
One of these revolving assassinations at
which the heart sickens, and which have
become SO common in these days of enor-
nifty, was committed in this county on the
night of fhe 26th ult. - ..-
The victoms were A. E.. Moore, ESQ.,,
his wife. and lovely orphan girl, twelve
years old, who was, by adoption, one of
the family. Taey had inst seated them
selves at the supper-table in the entry of
their house, when the assassin, coolly fixing
a rest for his gun by propping board be-
tween the two stems of an althea twenty
steps from the table, and in full view of
his unsuspecting victims, discharged at
them double -barreled gun.
At the first fire Moore fell. His wife,
who sat at his left, exclaimed, "Lord have
mercyr' and at that instant received the
contents of a second gun, fired in quick
succession. She fell instantly, and the Or
phan girl, who was seated at Moore's right,
and between Mr.. Moore and the assassin,
sprang into the house and called for cam
phor, but before the servant could get to
her she was dead Mr.. Moore received
three shots in the head and four in the
right side of the chest. His arm below the
elbow was much shattered and the hand
shot through. He lived a few minutes,
but never spoke. Mrs. Moore received four
shots in the face, and never seemed to have
breathed after she fell. A single shot
struck the young girl little to the left of
the spine, passed through the heart, and,
coming out at the left nipple, lodged in her
clothes. have this shot in nv possession
it is evidently a slug.
Mr.. Moore was an intelligent, amiable.
worthy citizen. Among the most warm,
hearted, womanly and benevolent of her
sex, Mrs. Moore had no superior. With
out children herself, she had shown the
goodness of her nature in adopting from
among the INDECENT three homeless orphans,
on whom she not only lavished all the care
and kindness of mother, but by will has
left ii I'm (now but two, young lady six
teen and boy fourteen years) most Of her
large estate.

From fAs F.sdonA Gi-unqps rcOusD Censor
Unprecedented Drouth and
Destfuctiyc Fires.


There has not been season since the
settlement of our country, when so little
rain has fallen as during the present The
streams are lower than they have been be-
fore within the memory of the Oldest in
habitants. Springs and wells that have
never before failed, are now dry. The grass
in the pastures and meadows is killed, and
being as dry as tinder, burns with the
greatest rapidity: In consequence, we
have this week to chronicle the occurrence
Of fires which have caused immense destruc-
ton of property. For several days during
the past week, the air was filed with smoke
from the burning woods.
On Thursday the wind was high, and
our citizens were called out by the ringing
Of bells to assist the residents in the vicin-
ity of Van Buren, Harbor in repelling the
flames WEIGH threatened their dwellings
So far as we can learn, but one house in
out town was burned, which was occupied
by Mr.. S. N. Underwood, and was situated
on the Berry road near its junction with
the Lake-shore road. So rapid was the
advance of the flames in the dry grass OF
the meadows, that Mr.. Underwood had to
take his family in a wagon and drive rap
idly to escape them. The house and a
barn on the premises, which was also con-
sumed, were owned by Mr.. Ira Risley.
The following is summary Of further
losses in the vicinity of Van Buren Harbor,
and along the line Of the railroad, as We
have learned them: Two barns, and all
the hay. grain and fences on the premises
of Allen Freemen, $1,000; one barn, hay
and grain, owned by Isaac Selleck, 81 900;
20 tons of hay, and FIVE miles offence, by
j. P. & R. H. Hall, $4,000; one barn and
hay, fence and timber, by Herman S.
Stearns, 81, 500; timber and fence on the
late Levi Selleck's estate, $4,000; timber
and wood saving machines, BY William
Risley of this village, 81, 900; timber and
fence, by Smith Wilber, $1,000; timber
and fence, by Chandler Todd, $1,000 !;
wood and fences, BY Buffalo and State
Line Railroad Company, $4,000.
The total, as above given, amounts TO
$17,5Oo. Included in the property de-
stroyed was about l30 tons. of hay and
ten miles of fence. The number of acres
of timber we have not learned. The fires
are still burning in the woods, though re-
cent showers have partially checked them.
In the south part of the town we learn
that Mr.. Luther Franck lost about $50 in
the destruction of wood and fences, and
Benz. Cornell and George c. Rood about
the same amount. The buildings were in
great danger, but were saved.
We hear that fires have ragged in other
parts of the county, and in Cattaraugus,
but have not learned the particulars Of the
damage.
