A SerIoua Accident.

Mr.. w. G.. Grove, OF Blains' Y Roads,
made a narrow escape of being killed yes
terday morning. He was on his way to
this city with a load of country produce,
when his horses took fright after crossing
the bridge this side of Scott's mill, on the
Tazewell pike. He succeeded in getting
them stopped long enough for his wife to
get out of the wagon, when he made an
other attempt to proceed up the hill. His
horses, however, again became frightened
and commenced backing the wagon to-
wards high precipice on one side of the
road, and seeing that the whole team
would be likely to go down the embank-
ment which he says is over one hundred
feet high, he jumped out of the wagon,
just as the hind wheels of the wagon
started down. In a moment more his
wagon and horses were at the bottom, in a
creek. His wagon was badly smashed and
his horses considerably injured, but strange
to say, no bones were broken, and about
one-third of his load vast lost in the
creek. A country friend passing with a
team brought what produce he had saved
to the city, which he sold at reduced prices.
Mr.. Grove considers his loss very serious,
as his horses are valued at $3.50 each, and
he has fears that they will never entirely
reeOyer from their fall.

Monte Gamblers.

These pests that have so long proved q
nuisance on the railroads of the far West
have turned their steps eastward and
commenced plying their vocation in East
Tennessee, between Bristol and Dalton,
on the passenger trains. We have heard
of several persons being fleeced by these
scoundrels, one being relieved of $40 and
another, an emigrant, ofa round hundred.
The gambler played with his du,.e as an
angler does with a fish, and let him win
four bets of ten dollars each, which he
soon won back and when the dupe became
excited and ct all he chad, he gathered
that in too, leaving the poor fellow with
an empty pocket to make his way as best
he could
