A singular and terrible accident has taken place at Riker Hollow, Stenben County, N. Y. Two men were cutting timber on a steep hillside fifty or sixty rods above a neighbor's house situated at at the foot of the hill, and were runniDg the timber to the flat* on the snow-cov ered ground, the logs usually coming out 150 feet from the house. An immense pine log two feet in diameter and fifty feet long was deflected from the usual course, and, with increased velocity, shot direct ly toward the house, in which were nine women and children, iucluding the family of one of the choppers, who were visit ! ing the neighbor's family. The men stood speechless, hoping in vain that the log would change its direction. It struck bouse five feet from the ground and pass ed directly through both walls, part of which were carried along with it. One child was killed Instantly and two other children were frightfully injured. The furniture was completely demolished, and it seemed wonderful that any one of the nine should have escaped alive.
