FATAL AccIpRNr.--We are panied to re-
cord sad accident which happened abou.
miles northwest Of this place on Saturday
the o5th nlt. We give the particulars as We
heard them.
A young man and lady and her child were
in a wagon coming to town and while coming
down a steep hill the bolt which goes through
the tongue and hounds came out, which
frightened the horses, causing them TO be I'M
manageable. The young man did all in his
power to prevent them from running away,
bat all to no effect. After getting into full
speed, ut the same time running up hill, the
wagon upset throwing them all into a pile,
and the bed falling on the woman killed her
instantly. The young man received a wound.
on one knee, which will probably cause him
TO cripple for some time. Strange to say.
tho child, which the mother had in her arms
did not get any hurt. The woman we learn
was sister to Jas. Phcncy who got his leg
broken at the Mil lust fall. We learn also,
that she has n husband who was ct tho time
working on the Court House. How true is
the saying that SIN life we are in death.o-

Webster has an nnecdote OF old Faith
er Searls, the minister Of his beyhood, which
never has been in print and is too good to
be lost. II was customary then 20 wear
buckskin hreeches ia cool weather. One
sunday morning, in the autumn, Father
searie brought His down from the garnet !,
but the wasps had taken possession during
| the summer, and were having nice time in
| them. By dint OF effort he got ont the In.
truders and dressed for meeting. But while
reading the Scriptures to the congregation,
he felt n dagger from one Of the enraged
small wasted fellows, and jumped around
the pulpit, slapping his thighs. But the more
be slapped and danced the more they stung.
The people though. him crazy, and were in
commotion AZ towhat to do; but he explained
alarmed the Word OF the Lord ID ia my
mouth, and the DsUil l. in my brssches 70
Webster always told it with great glee to the
ministers.
/ TnE CHEss CosTKsr IN EuRcPg.-The chest
match which was In progress at Paris, be.
tween Paul Morphy the American, and Har.
witx the German, was temporarily interrupt.
ed, as we nrc informed, BY accounts received
BY the Arago, by the indisposition OF tn,
latter. The London Express OF the 22e
September, announced thai the score stood
--Morphy, 4; Harwitz, 2; which woult
leave Movphy three games to score to vii
the match. The London Sundsy Time
states that Morphy had won six Of the sew
en- games, but does not give Harwits score
There is very little doubt bat that BY thi,
time young America has beat the veteran
player and. established his claim as beinf
the greasest known living chess player. Tit
matches with Staunton and Anderson which
xviii soon be played, will convince oil tn,
doubters on that point.
