alarming accident while on his way to
conduct Divine service at WarnOck's, on
the evening of the 5th inst. He was
driving along the roadway on the banks
of Captina Creek, when the wheels of
the buggy dropped into hole next the
creek, and he and his companion, Miss
JunkinS, with the horse and buggy,
were thrown over the emhankment into
the stream. Rev. Scouller's first thought
was the safety of Miss Junkins, and he
succeeded in rescuing her with much
effort. The buggy was overturned, and
it, with the horse, was carried down the
stream for considerable distance, when
the horse reached the shore and came
up the road dragging the overturned
buggy, and stopped as though asking
assistance from his master Fortunate
ly, no serious damage was done, and Mr..
:. was able to return home in safety.
His many friends regret to learn of his
