An Accident.

During the prevalence of the heavy thun-
der gust, on Sabbath evening, Mrs. Jacob
\. Howard, Mr. George Whiteman and sis
ter We're returning home from Il visit to
Penn Station, Pa, and when about eight
miles from this place, attempted to drive
into the lane of Il Mr.. Cunningham, As the
night had become so dark that they could go
no farther BY some means the horse became
frightened and upset the carriage, precipi-
tating the occupants into the ditch, and then
broke loose and started for home, which
place he reached some time afterward. As
was very natural, the appearance of the
horse caused much apprehension among the
friends of the unfortunate ones, and Mr..
Whiteman and some others started out in
the intense darkness to search for their
friends; but drove all the distance to Penn
Station without receiving any intelligence
of their whereabouts. In the meantime,
Mrs. Howard and friends obtained shelter
for the night at Mr.. Cuuningham's and
early next morning borrowed 4 horse and
drove TO Elkton. Neither of the parties
sustained injury, but the carriage was
slightly damaged.
