lady from Gardiner by the name of Judkins,
while coming down Winthrop hill in this city, on
Friday last in a wagon. thrown out near the
corner of Winthrop and Warren streets, receiving
serious injuries which it is feared may prove fatal.
She was driving the horse, while her husband,
who we understand was deaf and dumb, was lead
ing a COW few rods behind the wagon when
some part of the hold-bsck gearing gave way, and
the horse started to run furiously down the nil.
In endeavoring to turn the horse into Warren
street, the wagon hit stone and capsized, throw
in5 Mrs. Judklns violently to the ground. She
was kindly cared for by the people in that neigh
borhood, and physician sent for, who found the
sufferer considerably bruised, though strange to
say no bones were broken. She was taken to her
home in Gardiner on Friday afternoon aud we
learn that she suffered severely during the night,
and fears were entertained of serious results. She
was very heavy woman, Y years of age: and it
would seem almost miraculous that she should
survive shock so sudden and severe.
An alarm Of fire on Friday evening last was
caused by the ringing of the South Congregation
al bell for evening meeting. The engines were
promptly on the ground, but their services were
not required.
