A Horrible Accident.

Early this morning, while a LcGder
man was vending his way through the
drilling rain, he encountered IN aged
female with a jovial cast of countenance,
and her arms full of rain-soaked pack
ages, which apparently contained va
rious articles OF grub. The aged per-
son presented the appearance Of hav-
ing camped cut on the hillside all night,
and it was subsequently, ascertained that
such, indeed, was the fact. Neverthe-
less, the female was by no means
Respondent, and, hating in front of the
