A Frightfnl Accident. and miraculous

Escape.--On the, 9th ult., as the funeral
procession was conveying Daniel Turner,
from his late residence, Hare's Valley to his
last resting place. in Trough Greek Valley,
Hon. Judge Clarkson( who for thirty years or
more has been undertaken in this neighbor-
hood, and who has doubtless travelled many
thousand miles with his hearse without ac-
cident) was driving in front of the process
sion, about half mile from the residence
of the deceased While crossing high
breaker in the road one of the traces Of the
harness broke, which frightened his horse,
and with one bound brought the Judge
right on his feet in the rear of the horse,
inside the shafts--the horse pulling by the
holding-bacl strap His constant rearing
and leaping Immediately brought the Judge
full length on the ground, and having a
tight hold of the lines he held on until
dragged considerable distance, when his
hold gave way and the hearse passed over
him. The horse, still speeding on at a rap
id rate, brought the hearse against tree,
breaking wheel and the coupling, leaving
the hind-carriage and corpse on its side and
strange to say the coffin was scarcely mov-
ed from its fastening, while its occupant,
always upright and honorable in all his
doinps, and who has left to his friends the
odor of an unblemisheo character remained
unmoved and undisturbed as when kind
friends first placed him in his winding sheet.
The people in procession were much alarm
ed and ran at once to the assistance of the
Judge, expecting to find him dead. He,
however, gathered himself up, nearly mi
nus coat and pants, with watch trailing by
the chain. The Judge was considerably
bruised and sprained, but not seriously.
The coffin was placed in spring-wagon,
and the Judge, receiving his horse, rode
home, procured change of clothing hitch
ed to his carriage and went on and at
tended the funeral, and is still improving
from his injuries. Huntingdon Journal

reply
@Great heavens ~ said Mr.. Swain, "my
dear sir that won't do. Come with me to
the office. This must be looked into"
And, taking the man with him, he entered
the Office at Third and Chestnut streets.
There they found the clerks busy at their
desks then they ascended to the editorial
rooms and composing rooms where all was
as usual. Finally they descended to the
press rooms, where the engineers were at
