A RuNAwAY-The Peninsular News and
Advertiser, says On Wednesday after
noon last Mr.. George $. Grier, Of Milford,
was proceeding along Front street in that
town, in II light mill-wagon, when his horse
became frightened at large 6eld-rollrr. in
the street. The horse reared and made a
plunge, breaking a trace and other parts Of
the harness, causing the wagon to run against
his heels; this started him in Il full run
down the street in spite of all efforts to stop
him. On the corner at Walnut Street, the
wagon veered over to such an extent as to
throw Mr. tirier TO the ground in front of
Watson's hotel. lie was considerably
bruised, but we believe sustained no very
serious injury. The horse ran across the
bridge to South Milford, and came in con.
tact with carriage in front Of u. S. Trnitts
store, breaking spoke from one Of the
wheels, and causing some other slight iuiu-
ries, and upsetting MIR. tirier's wagon and
breaking of the shafts. The horse then
became detached from the wagon. and ran
around the square back to the spot from
whence he first started; he ESCAPED min.
Jured, with the exception of few scratches
on the heels. Several persons narrowly cs.
capped being run over
SHOCKING CATAsrRoPHE-Tw PHu.A.
DEIrHlANs DROWNED ~ Misses Emma and
Anna A., daughter of j. NJ. CHRISTOPHER.
Esq, of Philadelphia, accompanied by
Mr. Harry Ritchie, started on Saturday
on pleasure-trip, intending to visit some
friends at Port Deposit, Maryland. On
the arrival Of the train at Havre de Grace
they took the boat, and were near their
destination, when the painful event to
which we refer took place, Miss Anna
A. Christopher was standing on the hur-
rlcane deck, with Mr. Ritchie. The
guards of the boat were very low. and the
boat lurched considerably. The atten-
ton OF the two being occupied, they did
not perceive their imminent danger. and
before timely warning could be given, thew
were precipitated into the stream. Mr..
Richie was not large man, hut was an
excellent swimmer, and his long.coDtinued
and strenuous endeavors to save his com
panlon were noble in the extreme. For
full fifteen minutes he clung to her, sup
porting and trying to save her. His ef-
forts, alas proved Intellectual, and tbe
last desperate struggle over. both sank to
rise no more. The sister, meanwhile was
in an agony of despair, and did all that
frantic affection could do to effect their
deliverance. Upon information of the
disaster, proper parties were Immediately
despatched by the parents of the deceased
to endeayor TO recover bodies. but. I'M IN
last evening, their efforts were unsnccess.

OF age, and Mr. Ritchie about twenty-five

! have your letter of the 2lst inst
\ on are correct in deciding that Rail
Road Company must pay the tax upon
the cars manufactured and put in use. as
if the same were sold (The tax must he
assessed upon the whole value of the com.
pleted car, although the wheels and other
are in themselves manufactures
and have paid duty as such.)
IT. in repairing a locomotive, a new
part is put in which is manufacture and
is known as such to the trade IN ttself the
tax must be assessed thereon. But if tbp
same repair is made upon stationary
engine in the shops or on the premises Il
may be different, as there is doubt about
The relaagal for consumption or sale.
With regard TO Rail Road Companies
and other parties, pursuing their mann. |
laetnrng business in several different
shops, one license only will be required
II the business is upon the same premises,
and conducted by the same owners. BricR
and Stone Nasons, Painters, Plasters

Gas Filters, require no license when the
