Several days ago S. C. Frank, proprietor
of the stage line betweeH this place and Sc
linsgroYe, met with an accident OF peculiar
character. II was in the morning while he
was on his way cut, that his horse became
unmansgeble on the bill by Reno's school
house. The animal began furious kick
ing, which it kept up, how long Frank does
not know. The first recollection he had of
the result of the performance of the horse
was finding Christisn Reno by his side help
ing him to his feet. Mr.. Reno says that he
heard a noise on the road he went out and
stopped horse and carriage; he knew the
vehicle and animal to belong to Frank;
looking over along the road TO the school
house; he saw a man lie in the road; he
went over, and as he had conjectured, the
man was the proprietor o: the line. He
seemed TO be unconscious. He was not
hard TO arouse, but when he stood on his feet
he was still so confused that he asked,
/" What has happened ?" Reno led him to
his own place, and alter remaining there
q half hour he resumed his trip toward the
Susquehanna, Reno having furnished him
with safe horse. One spring of the car
riage, or stage, was damaged. The vehicle
was loaded. The animal in going over from
the place of the mishap to the hill on which
the Reno buildings stand left the road at
the bridge and crossed the stream on the
north side of the bridge, between the fence
and the structure Just mentioned. Mr..
Frank tas been on duty ever since.
