Runaway Accident. On Friday a week
a runaway accident occurred in Whoatfield
twp., which nearly proved fatal to two lads
who were in tho wagon. A young horso
belonging to Mr. Kirk of that township,
was hitched to a spring wagon, in which a
son and brother-in-law of Mr. Mayers, two
boys about 12, and 15, years of ago, and
when near C: Roup 's the wheel went into
a rut so deep as to upset tho wagon throw
ing out and injuring both boys. Tho
horso took fright and ran away with only
tho shafts attached, which he soon kicked
loose. Diligent search was inado for tho
animal but no trace of him was found un
til near night tho next day when ho was
found in tho woods, by a son of Mr. Sea
brights. Supervisors who allow such ruts
to remain in tho road ought to bo held
personly responsible for any damage which
may occur.
Serious Accident. On tho 23id ult., Mr.
Adam Losh while driving just beyond Ster
rctt's Gap, was thrown from his wagon and
badly inj ured. Tho accident was caused by
the front wheel breaking, which threw Mr.
L. out in such a position that ho was kick
ed by tho horse, inflicting a terriblo wound
in his head and was otherwise hurt by being
dragged a distance Ho was so badly in
jured that it was impossiblo to tako him
home, and ho was therefore carried to tho
hotel at tho Gap, and his family sent for,
as it was supposed impossiblo for him to
live. At tho last accounts wo received,
ho was still alive, though no hopes wero
entertained that ho would recover.
Inothcr Accident. On Thursday night,
a man named Rice, who carries tho mail be
tween Loysvillo and Sandy Hill, was some
what hurt by being thrown from his buggy,
tho accident being caused by his vehiclo
coming into collision with another, the
night being so dark, neither driver could see
tho other's buggy until theycamo togeth
er. Ono of tho vehicles was considerably
damaged, but tho horses remaining quiet,,
prevented tho accident from resulting in
consequences moro serious.
Killed. Tho body of a young man was
found on Wednesday morning last, badly
mutilated, on tho ralroad track ncaro
Westchester intersection. It proved VTva
tho body of Clayton Courson, a young man
who had left Altoona, whero ho had been
employed, on Monday night with the inten
tion of going to Philadelphia. It is sup
posed ho fell from tho train and was run
over.

houso about two years ago, near tho Big

tho tiino othcrwiso somo lives might havo

A Curiosity. Mr. John II. Wise, an em
ployee on tho Reading railroad, on tho
Leesport oro cars, brought to this oilico
yesterday afternoon, a small turtle that
had two well formed and distinct heads.
Each had two eyes in it, in tho proper
places, and tho turtle othcrwiso was well
formed. It would pull in its head if teased
and although very small, would open both
its mouths to bite. This curiosity was
picked up by - Mr. Wiso near a creek at

his intention to try and raise it, but should
it die, he will presorvc it in alcohol. Head
