SERIOUS AccIDESr.-This forenoon, Thurs
day. about ten o'clock, as Capt. Riley Hay
ford, of Camden Mills, was driving home
from this city, with his wife, just as he had
nearly reached his residence in the village,
his horses became frightened, and attempted
to run, when Mrs. Hayford seized hold of
the reins, turning the team so thatthe wagon
was capsized. Mrs. Hayford was seriously,
if not fatally injured, and was carried home
insensible. The Captain was considerably
bruised but not seriously. The wagon was
smashed up, in the race, and the horses con-
siderably cut up before they we're secured.
We are indebted to Mr.. VIM. P. Daxon, OF
Camden Mills, for this information.

Ayers Cherry Pectoral,
For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs, such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
 and Cnpcr1yroYotio0

 ; and Consumption. Probably never before in the whole history of medicine, has anything so widely and so deeply upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through long series of years, and among most of the races of men it has risen higher and higher in their estma. ton, as it has become better known. Its uniform character and power to cure the various affections of the lungs and throat, have made it known re- liable protector against them. While adapted to milder forms of disease and to young children, it is at the same time the most ctfcctual remedy that be given for ncipient consumption, and the dan- gcrous affections of the throat and lungs. As pro- Vision against sudden attacks of Group, it should be kept on hand n every family, and indeed all are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all should be provided with this antidote for them.
 Although settled Co.tsuhsptiO7a Is thought in- cI,rabc still great numbers of cases where the dis case seemed settled, have been completely cured, and the patient restored to sound health by the CHerry Pec;crnE. So complete is its mastery over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat that the most ob. tinate of them yield to it. When noth ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pee foraJ they stlbsde and disappear
 Singe3.s Gisd Public Speakers find great pro- lection from 1t.
 -fsthDso i3 always relieved and often wholly cured by it.
 Byonchit;s is generally cured by taking the Cherry Pecto5tty in small and frequent doses.
 So generally arc it's virtues known that we need not publish the certificates of them herc or do more than assure the public that its qualities arc fully maintained,

SHOW WINDOW SMASHED. The show win
dow of the clothing and fancy store of g. s..
Rosenbaum, on King street, between Pitt and
st. Asaph was smashed aud utterly destroyed
this morning, about half pastten o'clock, by the
horse attached to the baggage wagon of Mr..
Enoch Cook. The horse was running away,
but instead of taking the street in which to ex-
ercise himself, he made furious charge right
through the large glass window of Mr. Rosen-
baum, which he shivered to atoms. 1t is
needless to say that the proprietor Of the store
was very much .astonished at the sudden, I'M
expected and remarkable attack made upon
him. The horse was inside the store when
his mad career was stopped, A bull in q china
shop is no unusual occurrence, but horse in
fancy store is something that never before oc-

LOCAL ITEM 5.

A THEATRICAL PROJECT. Is stated that
the proprietors of the National Theatre, IL
Washington, will at once lease the old Theatre
building, in this city, in which is contained
Liberty and American halls, for term OF years,
turn both those halls into one, by removing the
ceiling from American Hall, and reconstruct a
theatre, with orchestra parquette, dress circles,
galleries and boxes and furnish the same in
the most costly style, and with all the modern
improvements, and during the season give dra-
matte representations here, with the same cast
of characters, and with the same magni6cence
with which they are produced on the boards OF
the National, in Washington. They will do
this, however, with q proviso; and that IS,
that the business men, and those whose inter-
ests will be subserved by the establishment
of creditable and regular place of amusement
here, will subscribe to fund to be raised to
guarantee them against any pecuniary loss they
may sustain in the enterprise Unquestionably
the establishment and maintenance OF good
and respectable theatre In any cityis material
advantage to that city-ot its moral influences
nothing is said though as the term evil is re-
lative in its Specification, what may have been
considered deliterious years ago. when the
world was more virtuous than it is at present,
may now, since the general and universal cor
ruption of morals, be of such moderate wicked
ness, as, compared with what is going on around
it, to become real beneficial power But
this is not the point; the question now is
whether the business men of the city, and all
those whose object it is to keep people from the
country, when they come here, IN Alexandra,
and to make them satisfied to remain here, by
not only selling them cheap goods, and feed
ing them with oysters and fish, but by furnish
ing them with amusements similar to those
supplied by other cities, will make up fund
that will insure the gentlemen who propose to
take this affair in hand against pecuniary loss
which can at any rate be but small. 1t Is
understood that this project has been mentioned
to several of the leading merchants of the city,
and that they have, without exception, expressed
a willingness to subscribe literally towards its
furtherance. We insert this at the request OF
those who take an interest in, and approve OF,
the establishment Of regular theatre in this
place.

FIRE.-The alarm of fire about half past sew
en- clock last night, was caused by the burning
Of an old two story frame house, on the cast
side of south Columbus street adjoining the
house on the corner of King, and used by Mr..
A. Wall as shelter for hay press. 1t, to-
gether with all its contents, a hay press, Fair
banks scales, hay, bags &c, was totally de-
stroyed. The Fire Department was speedily
on the ground, end at work, but such was the
inhammable nature Of the materials on fire that
all thatcould be accomplished was to prevent the
spread Of the flames to the adjoining buildings.
The House belonged to the estate OF the late
Newman Cross, and was insured for it full
value. Mr.. Walls loss amounted to about
500, but fortunately he too was fully insured.
The fire it is supposed 10 have been the work
of incendiary, and two young men OF notorl-
ously bad characters, James and Lewis Boswell,
were arrested during the night charged with
the offense, and this morning, at an examlna'
ton at the Mayors Office, the evidence educed
was sufficient to warrant their commitment to
Jail for trial at the next term of the Court
