Cleaned from the Housatonic RepublI-
 can of 65 Years Ago.
 From the Falls Village "Housatonic Republican, of July 23, 1859.
 An accident from the running away of horse, occurred in our village on Wednesday last, by which Mir Oliver Haskins of South Canaan, was thrown from his wagon, about opposite the Hotel, and sustained fracture of his ankle bone, together with some other slight bruises about the head and face. The horse ran under the tavern sheds, and after doubling up the wagon pretty well, and scraping his head upon the stone wall finally came to a stand-still, and was secured" '"
 { A slight accident also occurred on | Thursday. morning to Mir. Pierre Mundry, the contemplating young artist and painter, by which he fell from the new bridge over the Housatonic, on which he was engaged ill painting, and was precipitated into the river together with several plank and the ladder on which he was working. He escaped with few slight bruises, and pretty thorough ducking, but his escape from more serious injury was almost miraculous.
