BUGGY SEAT FELL OUT.

Mits Selina Switzer, of 7 or 8. miles north, met with a very painful, and possibly dingerous acoi dent, while going home from Rensselaer, Monday evening, with the family of her brother, Ezra Switz sr. She and Mrs. Switz r were in the rear seit of a two seated buggy, and just as they were going upon the south end of Burk’s bridge, the seat fastenings gave way, and the two women fell out backwards, upon their heads and shoulders, and while the horses were on a brisk trot. Mrs. Switzer wrs not hurt to mention, but Miss Switzer, who is very large; and heavy, was severely hurt. The sternum or breast-bone is fractured, and other portions of her body severely bruised, there are also some indications of possible internal injuries but the physician does not think them likely. She is now doing as well as could be expected.
