AWFUL CALAMITY. We learn from the "Rough and Ready" published at Charleston,
Illinois, that on the 20th (?) ult., while Mr. CHANDLER, his wife, his son
William's wife and child, his son and daughter, and a Mrs. MOSELEY, were going
to preaching in a two horse wagon, a furious storm arose, and that during the
blow, a tree fell, and in its fall crushed those on the back seat. Mrs. Moseley,
Mrs. Chandler and child, Mrs. Moseley and the child was instantly killed; Mrs.
Chandler survived only half hour. Mrs. Moseley's skull was fractured completely
across, while the injuries to Mrs. Chandler and child were principally upon the
limbs and body. The others escaped, the body of the tree fell on the wagon.
