A poor girl drowned herself some weeks
since at the Shaker settlement near Hud-
son, n. y, and the Shakers buried her
without an inquest. 1t being ascertained
by the coroner of the bailiwick that such
q casualty had occurred, he ordered the
body to be disinterred, and held an inquest
over it. This greatly disturbed the Shakers
who thought they ought to be left to them
selves. without interference from without.
No signs of violence were found upon the
body. and the verdict was that she COM
mitted suicide by drowning. AT the IN
stance of the fraternity, physicians made
an examination, and reported that she haa
not violated the rules Of the Order winch
prescribe life of chastity and purity.

SAD ACCIDENTAL You've MARRIED LADY
KILLED.-A correspondent writing from
Fairfield, Denton county, Mo-, August 20,
furnishes the following particulars Of sad
accident, by which young married lady,
Just from West Virginia, vas almost in
stantly killed:
"a sad accident occurred near here last
evening. The southern-bound stage, con-
tanning four passengers,-a young married
couple named Moore, q lady with two small
children, and a gentleman-had passed the
post -office about three-quarters OF mile,
when the stage ran over a stump, throwing
the driver from his seat, and frightening
the horses SO that they ran away, dragging
the driver some two or three rods before he
could regain his feet. When he did so he
endeavored to stop them by running around
tree with the lines; this gave sudden
Jerk to the lines, which caused them to
break, and the horses then sped on their
way with the stage and its living freight OF
human beings. The two gentlemen jumped
out safely, but one of the ladies (Mrs.
Moore) in jumping from the stage caught
her hoop-skirt in the brake, and was thrown
to the ground and dragged some two hun
drcd and fifty yards before being released.
Every particle of clothing was stripped
from her body except her shoes and stock
ings and q narrow strip of her undertakes
around the shoulders.
~ reached the scene Of the accident q
few moments after its occurrence, and found
the husband supporting the head Of his
young and golden-haired bride, his own
clothing saturated with the warm blood
that flowed from the many wounds upon
her fair young head, and moaning as if his
heart would break. She was still living
when reached the scene, but was past all
human aid, and in few moments after
wards breathed her last-just as the moon
rose above the tree-tops, throwing flood OF
soft, plying light upon that inanimate
form, and revealing the agony of the young
husband.
Mr.. and Mrs. Moore were from Western
Virginia, and were the vanguard of several
families who are expecting to settle in this
part of the country. Deceased was about
eighteen years of age, and was within
twelve miles of her destination when the
accident occurred. The other lady re-
manned in the stage, closely holding hel
two children in her arms: and was not hurt
in the least"

The WATER FAMINE IN PHILADELPHIA
The Inquirer, of Philadelphia, where the
supply has been short for week past,
says:
"The steam frc-cngines continue to dc
good service at Paramount, and their ability
to make large additions to the supply OF
water in the reservoirs is now fully demon
strated. The dead point of danger is passed:
and if our citizens continue to use water
sparingly no serious Inconvenience will be
felt, unless there should be very destruc-
tive fire. The advantages conferred by the
ScLuylkill arc now more ciearl y apparent
than ever. The present drought nearly
dries up the small streams, and It is ex-
tremcly dangerous to depend upon them
exclusively for the supplies Of large city,
In the general revision of water works
which will probably follow the present
emergency our problem is comparatively
easy. We have unfailing rivers always at
our doors, and we have only to erect more
steam machinery for forcing water into our
reseryOirg.'
