4 PEnLoUs RIDE.-Night before
last a party. consisting Of three gentle.
men and a lady, met with a p%erilous
adventure while coming up from
Steamboat Springs to Virginia In a
barouche. When the party set out
from Steamboat at about five o'clock
in the evening, the weather was COM
paratively pleasant. but while coming
up the steep grade OH the west side Of
the mountain. a short distance above
the white House," the excursionists
were overtaken by the terrific wind
storm. which We gave an account Of In
Yesterdays News. While the horses
were ,oiling slowly up the hill, a furl-
Gus gust Of wind caught up the bar
ouche, horses and all. aud swept the
entire outfit down n steep declivity. a
distance Of thirty feet. During the
arial voyage the carriage was over
turned, aud 1t seems almost a miracle
that none OF the party were killed.
On alighting, the horses succeeded In
regainfng their feet, and the excursion
lists disembarked from the vehicle.
The lady was bruised somewhat about
her shoulders. but the rest Of the party
escaped without n scratch. The trav-
elers were now in Imminent peril Of
death by freezing. The wind was
blowing at the time with such violence
that they could scarcely keep their feet.
nevertheless, n council Of war was held
and IL was decided that they should at
tempt to reach the toll house on foot.
After enduring untold sufferings from
the furious Winter storm, the party
finally reached the toll house OH the
Divide In = thoroughly exhausted con-
dltion. Here thay found n warm fire
and a hot cup Of coffee awaiting them.
After resting awhile. the gentlemen
pushed on to Virginia and sent back a
carriage after the lady, who, during
the whole affair, IL said to have mani.
fested the utmost heroism. The team,
which was attached to the barouche at
the time of the accident, was brought
back to Virginia, but the carriage still
lies whore IL fell. and cannot be got at
on account Of che drifted snow In the
road.
