Notes:

A sad accident - A young man by the name of Theodore Benton, son of Isaac Benton, of Virgil, and so seriously injured that he died in about two hours after the accident.

The circumstances of the sad affair are as follows: It seems that this young man started yesterday morning with his father's team for Ithaca, after a load of goods, and there were two other teams accompanying him. From what we can learn, there can be no doubt that he was running his horses, and while passing over a bridge, the hind wheel struck one of the beams, and threw the hind axle completely off from the wagon, and the young man, after holding on to the box until apparently overdone with fatigue and fright, was compelled to relax his hold, and fell to the ground. He was picked up by the gentlemen driving the other teams, and after his horse had stopped and his wagon had bean repaired, he was placed in a recumbent position in the bottom of the wagon, being, as his companions supposed, badly hurt, though to all appearances, able enough to ride until they could reach a tavern. His horses were then hitched to the back part of one of their wagons, and in this way they drove on to Varna, some fourteen miles from the place where the accident happened, when they discovered that the unfortunate young man was dead.
