FATAL RUNAWAY.-On Tuesday of
last week, about ten O'Clock in the
morning, the usually monotonous vi
cinity of North Springfield was thrown
into a state of excitement and pro-
found melancholy, caused by runa-
way which resulted in the death of one
person, and the dangerous-if if not fa-
tai, as is feared--injury of another
Elijah Bemis, a highly respected far
mer of Baltimore, with his wife, were
on their way to North Springfield, and
when descending the hill near Leon
ard Redfeld's, about half a mile from
that village, their horse, which ap-
pears to be of a vicious and insubor.
dinate disposition, suddenly became
unmanageable, and commenced run
ming at fearful rate. As a matter
of course, Mr.. Bemis used every ex.
ertion to hold him, but without avail
The wagon was soon overturned, and
both Mr.. and Mrs. Bemis were thrown
with terrible force, head foremost
against a stone wall. Assistance soon
arrived, but both were found in q
senseless condition and terribly woun
| ded. They were Immediately carried
