BRIsToL. Thursday afternoon the Sd
inst, as Mr.. VIM. Circuit was coming
from South Bristol with his mother and
two young relatives "a boy and girl, the
horse broke through the bridge that cross
es one portion of the river but recovered
itself sufficiently to spring out of it partly,
and oyerturhing the carriage Mrs. o -
was thrown under the wheels and injured
so severely on the head that doubt of her
recovery is entertained. The town au-
thorites are greatly too blame for the
shiftless manner in which those bridges
were built and kept in repair, this not
being the first accident that has occurred
there.
