Last Sunday, 26 inst. Miss Ada,
daughter of John Bean, Esq. was badly
injured in front of the Nj. e, church; IL
seems that she in company with two
others were in sleigh going towards
East Middlebury. where she was engag-
ed in the family of e. j. Olmsted, the
driver, one Mr.. Lamorder. sitting in
her lap and when they had nearly reach
ed the waterbar opposite the church
someone spoke to the driver TO drive
fast and see how far the sleigh would go
before striking the ground, whereupon
he applied tho whip and passed over
the high bar at such a rate of speed that
bv actual measurment it was twenty
feet from the top of the bar to where
the sleigh struck. Had the one that
INDUCED ig such foolhardy recklessness
been the injured one few would mourn
over his calamities, but as it is it seems
to us to be little short of premeditated
homicide. There appears to be little
chance of her recovery.

Interesting Letter from Phoenix.

Gently concluded that 1t originates from one
cause alone. Not Of course from a want OF
interest by the publishers of the Press and
Banner In that vicinity, but from n delicacy
on the part Of these good people to speak out

section Is one far above an average In many
respects, l do not cast any reflections on any
