A whole Family Killed.

A Missouri paper gives mn account OF
sud accident which occurred near Johns
town, in that State, by which four per.
sons were killed-R father, mother, son
md nm infant child. From the meagrc
report We CLEAN the following iicts ;
Mr. Bottles and family were returning
from church in n two-horso wagon. In
crossing DoGpwater tho horses became
frightened and ran away dragging the
son, who was driving, n distance Of near.
~ quarter OF milo. In going this
distance from the creek IL appears that
tho mother jumped out, after throwing
out her infant child. In the afternoon a
traveller from Germantown discovered
the lifeless body of the son near the
road. Soon after he found the woman
with her neck broken, and tho child
lying near her, alive, hut almost dead
from tho effect Of the hoAt. Further on
lie found the wagon npon the dead body
NJ the ihtheE The child has since died.
