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. DIED.

KIER, formerly of Clarksburg, and MISS CORDELIA RICHY, of Muscatine county, Iowa. (from the Muscatine [Iowa] Enquirer.) 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!
