FEARFUL RUNAWAY ACCIDENT-FOJtr
ladies b!j1Ted--An accident appalling in
its incidents, though less serions in it's
suits than could reasonably have been eX-
pected under the circumstances, occurred
near Strongstown, Indiana county, about
thirteen miles west of this place, on Friday
last. The particulars, far have
been able to CLEAN them, are about as follows:
Four ladies and young man-thc wife. two
daughters and a son of Mr., Thos n. CreSsweli,
of the village named, and Mrs Mary Shoema-
the CressWell family at the tline-were on their
way in a two-hOrse spring wagon to CamerOu'S
Bottom, and while descending steep acciivity,
known as DOwney hill, the horSeS :ron.some

started of at 5reak-neck speed. Young Cress-

had not the tongue or the wagon snapped on
when about half way down the hill. What foI-
lowed this unlocked for catastrophe il is not

precious freight were piled up in u fanQlt 4. .

to escape without injuries more or less severe,
and even he was rather the worse for his expe

Its value, even If there were I'm print others of
a similar nature, would be very great on ac-
count OF its scope, its great number OF illustra-
tions, and the trustworthincss OF its author;
but at present its value is enhanced by the fact
that it has, properly speaking no competitor.
There IS published no book OF similar intent
which is at once so large, 50 well illustrated so
closely brought down TO the present time, and
full Of illustrations. Dentists, surgeons,
philosophers, chemists, engineers mechanics,
and scientific men and students of every grade,
will find here described and illustrated more OF
the instruments and machines peculiar TO their
professions than can be found in well-fuTnished
stores and manufacfories and they will also
find a constant supplementary course OF in
struction so arranged as to be available for in
slant reference. The work consists OF three
handsome octave volumes, and will be found
an invaluable book of reference IN the family,
the counting-room, and the workshop. No
better educational work could be placed before
children, adapted as II is to awaken a latent
taste which may have imporLant bearing
on their life career.
