Stage Accident
On Thursday the 24th ult. Between three and four miles west of St. Clairsville, Ohio, the stage horses took fright
from the running of some young horses in a field, and ran off, the stage then descending a hill. The driver succeeded
in keeping the stage in the road for some time. At length the wheels struck a stump, which threw the stage over,
first on the side, and then on the top. They body of the stage was dashed into fragments. Besides the driver, there
were one man, two women, and two children in the stage. The passengers all escaped with slight injuries, and were
able to continue their journey with the mail. The driver has several ribs broken, and is badly hurt, but is expected
to recover. One of the horses was killed, and another so much hurt as to be rendered useless. We learn that one
of the women was in chase of her husband, who had left her at Zanesville; and that, traveling on foot, he had just
reached the scene of danger, and was the first to help her up when thrown on the road. – Belmont Journal.

Barnesville
The
little village of Morristown, on the National road, nine miles east of here,
has an alarming epidemic of typhoid fever. The town has less than 400
inhabitants and within the past two or three weeks no less than 30 cases
have been reported. Dr. E. J. Hoyne, the leading physician of the place has
20 cases under treatment, a number of them being critical ones. The cause of
the outbreak is attributed to impure water and bad sanitary condition of a
portion of the village. The state board of health has been appealed to and
will investigate.
