Sad Fatality.

The Brattleboro (vt.) Record thus re-
lates distressing casualty in which two
lives were lost:
On sunday, the 10th inst, young man
named Albert Pike, with his wife and "A
Miss blanchard, were riding on the bank
of Dcerfield river, in Whitngham. VT.
when their horse stopped and began to
back toward the river. Mr.. Pike iumpcd
from the wagon and seized the horse by the
bit with view of stopping him but be-
fore the ladies could get from the wagon il
went over the bank, horse and all together,
into the river where the water was from
ten to fifteen feet deep. Mr.. Pike jumped
into the water. and succeeded in getting
hold of the ladies, but the plunging of the
horse IN the water carried them all under
together. Mr.. Pike, by a desperate effort,
got himself and wife clear from the horse
and wagon, and worked down the river a
iew rods. his wife still clinging to his
clothes. In the mean time. the Rev. Mr..
sherman. living near by, happening to see
them, ran TO the place and plunged into the
water and succeeded in getting Mrs. Pike
To the shore before life was extinct. Mr.,
Pike also managed to get ont. but he was
SO much exhausted that he could not speak
for some time, but finally recovered. Mrs
PIKE revived for n short time, but died in
two hours. Miss Blanchard remained i'm
the water some three hours before her body
was recovered. and it was taken from the
bottom where the water was twenty-onc
feet deep. The horse and wagon SINK in
fifteen feet of water.
