Sad Accident 

  On Saturday of last week, an accident of a heart-rending character 
occurred in Cambria township, this county, by which a young daughter of 
John Rees, Jr., was almost instantly killed.  The unfortunate girl, it 
appears and a companion were riding a race on horseback and when at the 
top of speed, she was thrown violently to the ground, thereby 
dislocating her neck and causing death to ensue in a half hour.  The 
deceased was buried on Sunday at Bethel cemetery.
