/ Richmond GRAY j. only about eighteen
years Of age, and his friends entertain
/ hopes Of pardon ..-... As Mrs. Dr. Wellley
and Miss Bessie Perry, daughter Of Pierce
Perry, Esq, Of this place, were driving
down the IIawksvill one day last week,
/ they came near meeting with what might
/ have been a serious accident. DR.. W.,
who accompanying them ON horse back,
was stopped ON the way 20 see a patient,
and suppos.ng That be would be detained
only short iimc he told them to drive
ON slowly and he would oycrtake them.
Soon after they had passed Mr.. John VI.
Seibert's they heard the whistle Of the
locomotive. and the horse pricking MP his
ears Mrs W, who knew him 10 be afraid
of the cars, become very much alarmed,an
in her excitement undertook to grab the
rains from the hands Of Miss r., who was
| driving, aud in DONG 50 gave the horse so
sudden a jerk as TO cause him 20 back the
buggy over high embankment ON the
roadside. Fortunately,a cedar bush grow
ing Just above the water, stayed the de-
scent Of the buggy, OF the ladies would
hayb at least been immersed in deep water
Mrs. W. undertook TO leap from the bug
", but before she could do so the horse
sprang forward suddenly, drawing the
buggy back on TO the road, and throwing
Mrs. W. under his feet Some gentlemen
near by came to the rescue and cxtricat-
ing her, carried Mrs. W. TO Mr.. Seibert'-
house. Although the buggy wheel ran
across her, we are glad TO say she sustain
cd no serious injury Miss p. was unhurt.
All Of which goes to show that it is never
safe for ladies to undertake to drive alsne.
...... Last Tuesday morning smell log

colored people, vas destroyed by fire.
How it occurred is yet a mystery, tho il
is rumored that tho cook stove in the
70 building was shivered to smthereens, aud
% that on that night stick Of wood loaded

Q near by, and on the morning after the fire
its whereabouts coudbe nowhere discover

s well as English oppression.
