We hear from Candia, in this state, that a few days ago, two horses in a double sleigh, broke from their fastenings, and ran with great precipitation down a certain street in that town, but were soon met by a double and a single sleigh, with young persons in them, of both sexes, going on a party of pleasure—they turned out on each side to give them room to pass, but just before the sleigh got to them, one of the runners struck a log, and sheered the horses directly over the double sleigh in which were the young people; by which accident one young woman was killed, and a number more badly wounded, one of which has since died. In going over one of the runners caught one of the near horse's hind legs and broke it, which immediately turned it to the other side of the street where the other single horse stood, and ran against him with such force as drove the tongue of the sleigh into his bowels, which killed him instantaneously—all of which was accomplished in a few moments.
