'riding trod. Varna, it few days ago, she
net with what might have been a very
serious accident.. It appears that while
coining down a hill some part ofthe har-

cupants thrown out. . Mrs. Foster got off
whims few bruises and a sprained arm. '

irf "Mr'S-Baines had been fotind at that
time, but the body of' Miss Clegg; was
ro-
covered on Sunday last, about a Toile
south of. Wingham, .ersnearlY len miles
from where the niisfdttntle occurred.
Was somewhat deeomposed, from having
been in the 'water so long,. 'and looked
very unnatural. From the time the affair
happened, until the hotly was found,
willing hands were Constantly grappling
the river, and the intense suspense of not
finding the body for so long, 'swig terrible
etrain to Mies Clegg's relatives; It is
said that Mrs. Clegg hardly ate or slept
during all Ole tinse, and tlae accident has-
been such a heavy blow to her, that she
is_nefuly_broken-heatted.-- A repoirthat
