Nearly u Fatal .Accillemt.

Mr.. Charles Beasten, Prothonotary, at
New Castle, met with an accident yesterday
morning, which was near being tragic in
its result. He made an early start, intend
ing to 60 to Middletown, driving his beau
tiful Chestnut mares, in york wagon, and
having a colored man with him. He had
just turned out Seventh Street, to reach the
''river road," when train of cars came
rapidly on the curve toward the depot,
which is short distance from Seventh st.
The horses, which are very high strung, got
badly frightened, and became unmanageble.
Turning suddenly, they upset the carriage,
and threw both of its occupants out not
with very great violence, however, as the
only perceptible injury which either sus-
tained is slight confusion of and abrasion
of the integumcnt over Mr.. Beasten's right
eye. In their flight, the horses leaped two
fences, and demolished the wagon. Both
of the horses were extensively bruised, but
not severely or permently hurt. Notwith-
standing the wreck of a very fine carriage,
and the deterioration In the value of the
horses, in consideration Of the possibilities
of the case, Mr.. Beaston regards the result
as avery fortunate one.
