On Friday last, while a Mr. Torm
was attempting to cross Rock creek
with a three horse team, at the fording
near HIXIT CLarrs's, in Moo ntjoy
township, about 11 miles below Hor
ner's Mill, he met with a frightful Noel
dent, by which two of his horses were
drowned, and Mr. Torras himself nar
rowly escaped with his life. The team
belonged to Mr. FRANCIS ErasE, of
Maryland, a huckster, whose route lies
through the southern portion of this
county. The rains on the night previ
ous had raised the waters to a height
which made the fording impassible at
that place. Mr. TOPPER not being
aware of the danger, made the venture
to cross, but had not gone far, until the
wagon was washed over, and his whole
loading, which consisted of fowls, bat
ter, eggs, kc., destroyed. The two
wheel horses were drowned, while the
lead horse succeeded in extricating him
self from the wagon and escaped. Mr.
TOPPER made a very narrow escape,
but succeeded in swimming safely to the
shore.—Star.
Severi Illness.—We regret to learn
that Mrs. Col. Wynkoop bas boon dan
gerously ill since the sudden 'death of
her busband. Her naturally delicate
constitution has given away under
the terrible shock she has experien
ced, and the constant and undivided
attention of her family in Pottsville
is required to sustain her. It ap
pears that the Colonel, at the time of
the fatal accident, was endeavoring to
procure a few pheasants for his invalid
wife, and as his hired man was walking
behind him, the trigger was caught by
a twig and the gun exploded.
Sr. Louts, Dee. 23.—An express re
cently arrived at Leavenworth, K. T.,
from the Utah Expedition, brings in
formation that the whole force, with
the exception of Col. Cook and his com
mand, had concentrated at Black's
Fork, and were moving towards Fort
Bridger. Their progress was very
slow, sometimes mil* making two or
three miles per day.
The animals were giving out hourly,
and it was thought that all would perish
during the winter. The supply trains,
with all the military stores and provi
sions, were abundant.
.The report that
two companies of infantry had met with
reverses on the route to Utah was with
out foundation. ,Five companies of Col.

The subjoined is condensed from a
long and extraordinary narrative in
the New Haven (Conn.) papers :
It will be remembered that last win
ter a boy named Charles E. Sage, about
19 years of age, was missing from his
home in Cromwell, near Middleton, in
this State, and that an Irishman named
Patrick Nugent, was arrested on a
charge of murdering the lad, and put
ting his body under the ice In the Con
necticut river. In a few months after
wards a body was found in the river
without a head. This body was believ
ed to be that of the misiiing boy, from
several marks upon it, as well as from
a portion of the clothing. Soon after
wards the lining of an overcoat was
found answering to the description of.
that worn by the missing person.—
Some months elapsed, when a sailor
named Benson came to Cromwell and
directly charged Nugent, the Irishman,
with the murder. He said he saw the
deed done, and assisted Nugent in put
ting the body under a haymow. He
described accurately the lad's appear
ance, his dress, the color of his hair, etc.,
and declared that he had not any peace
of mind since the murder, and that he
had come to Cromwell expressly to dl.
vidge all he knew shout it. He con
fronted Nugenkand charged the deed
upon him. The accused denied it, but
trembled from bead to foot.
A grand jury found a true bill against
Nugent, whose time of trial was fixed
for the - present month. Thus matters
have rested until within a few weeks,
when the cousin of the missing boy,
living in Ithaca, Y., received an an
onymous letter from the interior of
Pennsylvania, which ho showed to his
father, a Mr. Williams. The letter
was answered, when another letter was
received from Pennsylvania, signed
Win. Russell, which Mr. Williams him
self answered. lie at the same time
addressed the postmaster, requesting
him to watch for the Onion who called
for the letter, and describe him. The
postmaster did so, when Mr. Williams
immediately left Ithaca for Pennsylva
nia, and found Russell, whom he dis
covered to be his nephew, Charles E. Sage,
the identical missing boy I
A special court is held at Haddam to
day, when Nugent will be liberated.—
The case is involved in the deepest
mystery beyond what has been related.
No ono cau assign any reason for the
perjury of the sailor who swore that he
saw the murder committed, and there
is nn information to lead to the identity
of the body that was found and buried
as that of tho boy Sage. The annals of
crime do not afford a more extraordina
ry case than this.
.New Karen, Dec. 18.—John A. Ben
son, the sailor who testified that he saw
the murder of Chas. E. Sage, of Crom
well, has been arrested on a charge of
perjury, with intent to take lire, and
has acknowledged his guilt. The crime
will send him to the State Prison fur
life. There are no other developments.
At a mooting of the " Young Men's
Christian Association," held on Satur
day evening week, the following resolu
tion was adopted, and ordered to be
published:
Rewired, That the thanks of this As
sociation bo tendered to the Ladies of
