II Smash Up.

II Smash Up. iau ared
Last Monday as SD. MASON, Esq,
of Ellsworth, was on his way to Pres
colt, he met with most frightful acct:
dent and wonderful escape from serious
personal injury if not Instant death. He
informs us that when within q shoit dis
lance of this city he noticed team at
tached to a wagon containing two men,
coming toward him at fearful rate of
speed. Refining his horse out of the
main track into one next the fence he
supposed himself out of danger from
collision, but as the team neared him its
driver also reinsd4 out OF the main track
and bore down full upon him. The two
teams met and there was a crash like q
nitro glycerine explosion or a young earth
quake. For an instant all was a blank
to Mr.. Mason, while buckles, neck yokes,
straps and splinters filed the air and fell
like hail around him him. When he
came to realization of the situation Mr..
MASON found himself holding the run
away team by the bits, several feet in the
rear of his own rig, with bis legs tangled
in a promiscuous mixture of, PROSTATE
horse-fiesh and broken sleigh, while the
reckless driver sat in his wagon calm and
serene, unconcernedly viewing the /" des-
olation all around" Upon further inves-
tigation, he found the team had struck
his horse obliquely,-else it must certain
ly have been killed by the pole of the
agon,-knocked it clean over, render
ing a complete transposition Of head and
tail ends, aud crashed over his cutter,
leaving it in splendid condition for kind
ling wood. Wonderful to relate, however,
no bones were broken nor serious injury
done except the complete demolition of
the cutter. Mr.. M. was considerably
bruised as was also his horse; but the
only damage sustained by the runaway
rig was broken neck-yoke.
M. MASON informs us that the reck less
urVer WAS JAMES BowLEs, of oaL
Grove, who win probably hereafter have
care how and where he runs his horses.

Mail Routes.

Citizens of Prescott, our mail routes
need attention. We ought TO have a
semi-weekIy stage from Prescott to Red
wing va UaIDouu DUH. The route eX-
tends from Red Wing to the Bluff now,
and proposals will be considered to con
tinue it to Prescott. Will not some Of
our citizens bid for the contract to carry
the mails from this place to Red Wing,
in accordance with the specifications of
the Postmaster General, published in
this weeks paper? 1t actually takes q
letter longer now to go from hero to the
Bluff, Ia miles, than to New York city,
400 miles. A little energy and enter
prise will correct this evil. ~. ~.
