Almost a Bad Accident.
SAVANNAH, Dec. Is

Dec. ..
Mr.. EprroR-On Saturday last, in the fore
noon, a wagon load of persons, consisting of Mr..
and Mrs. Mcvey, their son William, Miss Mary
Lebow and Mr.. Charles T.. Albertson, started
from the residence of McVey, in Platte town.
ship, to attend chuch at Whitssville. Mr.. Al
bertson is a teacher, and was on his way to this
city to attend the Teachers Institute. After
proceeding about q mile on the road, they APP
preached a long hill, at the foot of which the
road makes an abrupt turn to the south. At the
top of the hill the mule team took fright at some-
thing, and commenced the descent at u speed
that was anything but pleasant. The team be-
came manageable, running at a furious rate
down the hill with their precious and alarmed
freight. The mules turned with the road at the
bottom of the hill, but the wagon was violently
overturned, and thrown a distance of fifteen or
twenty feet. MIR. McVey, who was driving,
jumped out on the upper side of the wagon and
escaped injury, except from the shock. The two
ladies and Mr.. Albertson were occupying the
bottom of the wagon-boX. The ladies were
caught under the wagon-bOX, as il turned over
VIM. McVey was thrown Just far enough to re-
ceive the blow of the wagoD-box on the back oil
his head, and was knocked senselcss, In which
condition he remained for twenty minutes. He
was taken to the nearest house, where he re-
ceived the attentions of DIR. Ward. Mr.. Albert
SOD was thrown farther from the wagon than any
OF the others, but was uhhurt.

Christmas

The only services held by any religious
denomination of the city on Christmas
day were at.the Episcopal Church (brick
Presbyterian. The manner in which
they were conducted reflected much
credit on those participating, and espe-
cially upon Mr.. Hale, Of this city, the
leader and ~organist. The sermon, by
Rev. Mr.. Blackisten, wa pointed and
adapted to the occasion. Tae following
beautiful christmas Carol by Mrs.
Constance Runcie, of St. Joseph, was
we'll rendered:
Shine, shine, Oh Star of Bethlehem,
Shine out, oh royal star of love!
Bring joy and peace TO all the world,
The radiant Joy Of heaven'above.
Choras-L.et us help the angels sing,
Glory TO the newborn Bingf
Let angels add their sweet delight,
BeholdInS him who is their Light,
Descending mtekly TO our earth,
His glory yelled by human birth.
Bring Christmas greens and songs of praise,
Bring glowing hearts To greet Him.
In joyful song your voices raise,
Oh, children, haste 10 meet Him!
Then let one glorious shout of joy
Rash grindly 70 the rainbow throne;
We thank Thee, Father, for Thy gift,
That Christ Is all in all our own

Probable Fatal ARRAY.

James Rager was shot, on Wednes-
day evening, by one Truman ,
i'll an alteration. 1t was thought by
DIR. Bryant, who was called to attend
the injuries of the wounded man, that
his recovery was quite doubtful. The
shooting was done near the Clifton
House, and was superinduccd by bad
liquor.
THE train from the north yester-
day morning, was several hours be-
hind time, owing to the freezing
weather. The passengers had to stop
at wells, at several places along the
route and supply the boiler Of the en-

The present managers OF the Pennsylvania

stockholders, knowing they have been mulcted
Il late years by the payment Of paltry dividend
II 10 per cent, which should he 100 per cent,

To keep up the price, well-known brokers ht

\ Queer story Co@cernina 'GoId'mi'h Maid


Report has it that Nj. Malcolm GIN OF
Gugard county, viii mmedin' 3 institute le-
"al proceedings in the New York ruurts for pos
session Of the celebrated trottiug mare Gold
smith Maid Gui claims that she Is his mare
Icct. which Wa- supposed to have been burned
no the Nichplasyllr IRE some seven years ago,
10 BE- HuW said shat the mare was stolen and the
ivory stable Ia which sine was placed fired in
order tu cover the theft. The hTe, II will he re-
,oii, ,t,d, occurred 90 ulght during the week OF
the fair when large number Ot tine horses
were in NiChuasyille for exhibition. The ac-
count given Of the FIRE al the time represented
several thousand dollars worth Of valuable
stock AZ having been destroyed, and mentioned
particularly Gills fine mare. The account also
stated how much aHocted-even to tears GIN
was, and how his trainer kissed the shoes of his
supposed lost faNprite animal
IL h. said now that bills trainer happened to
be at one ~ the great trOttng races between
Goldsmith Maid and Lucy, and at once reCog-
nized the Maid as the mare which was thought
10 have been destroyed at the Nicholasyille IRE.
Upon closer examination he became thoroughly
convinced that she was the identical mare. He
thereupOn communicated with gin, told him
that Goldsmith Maid was his lost JOet, and that
he ought to take steps for her recovery, After
some hesitation GIN determined 10 look into the
matter, and for that purpose went to New York
aud saw Goldsmith Maid, and, we understand,
recognized her as his former property, and de-
also said that in addition TO her marked Tesem-
bance to the animal supposed to have been
burned, In form, color, size, action, disposition,
&C., she Is the exact age that Gills mare should
be, and has the same pedigree.
II is "a remarkable case, and, II prosecuted 10
the end, will doubtless prove very tedious one.
