ACCIDENTS.  --On Monday of last week, MR. JOHN RAY, whilst assisting to load a
car at the "Big Warehouse," was thrown down, and a wheelbarrow and quantity of
grain fell upon him.  MR. RAY received several cuts and bruises, besides having
his ankle badly sprained.
--On the same day, a little son of MR. WILLIAM MOORHEAD, of this place, was
severely bitten by a dog, which the lad, in company with some other boys, had
been teasing by throwing stones at him.
--One day last week, a MISS STEWART, who resides near Saltsburg, was thrown
from a horse, and was seriously injured, having her hip dislocated, and
receiving various cuts and bruises.

MR. DAVID KINTER, who, in company with MESSRS. JAMES AND JOHNSTON McLAUGHLIN,
went South sometime since, writes to his friends from Lake Providence,
Louisiana, under date of November 24, stating that he is in business at that
place, and that MESSRS. McLAUGHLIN are engaged some twenty miles above.  The
date of the letter is three days after the burning of the Steamer Rainbow, thus
removing all anxiety concerning our young friends, as it had been apprehended
they might have been passengers on that ill-fated steamer.  MR. KINTER had
evidently not heard of the disaster at the time of writing, inasmuch as he
makes no mention of it in his letter.

On Tuesday the 1st inst., MR. DENNISON WILKINSON, of Blairsville, was killed on
the railroad between Bolivar and the Intersection.  Being engaged at a curve of
the road, it is supposed that on hearing the whistle he stepped on the wrong
track, where, before the train could be checked up, he was caught by the
cow-catcher and thrown several rods, fracturing his scull [sic] and causing
immediate death.

MARRIED.  On Thursday, 26th inst., by Rev. Mr. Suman, MR. J.L. BRITENDALL, of
Indiana county to MISS MARY J. MALLARY, formerly of New Castle, Lawrence
county, Pa.

Gentleman, and father-in-law to the HON. JOHN COVODE.

26 January 1858

LUCKY ESCAPE.  On Thursday last, MR. NILLER, who resides some distance from
town, came to the Branch Stream Mill with a two-horse team.  Handing the reins
to his little son, a lad of 9 or 10 years of age, he entered the mill to attend
some business.  Presently the train from Blairsville was approaching, and the
horses taking fright ran off despite the effects of the boy to hold them.  They
turned the corner at the new warehouse, ran down Philadelphia Street, and down
Clymer, turned into the alley above Thompson and Stewart's warehouse, where the
wagon, striking a stable, uncoupled, and the horse with the fore carriage
turned the corner opposite the Catholic Church, where the boy, who had been
holding on to the reins all the time, was thrown off and compelled to let go
his hold.  He made a most miraculous escape, having received but little injury. 
The reins by this time were caught by one of the wheels and wrapped up
gradually, and so far checked the horses' speed that a gentleman who was coming
that way was enabled to stop them.

MARRIED.  In Bedford, on Thursday, 14th inst., by Rev. Mr. Sample, MR. C.C.
McLAIN, of Indiana, to MISS MARY REYNOLDS, of the former place, lately at
Syracuse, New York.

DIED.  On Friday evening, the 15th inst., RUTH, daughter of MOSES T. AND
TABITHA L. WORK, aged 2 years, 2 months and 15 days.
         --Alas!  how changed that lovely flower,
         Which bloomed and cheered our hearts;
         Fair fleeting comforts of an hour,
         How soon we're called to part!
