A Harrow Escape from Death.

A hack load of young people of this place, who were returning from the street fair at Delphi, late Thursday night, narrowly escaped being hit by the passenger train that goes through here at 1:47 a. m. It was at the crossing at Patton, and the only thing that saved them was the shying of the horses. As it was, the hack was over-turned and the glass was broken out of the windows. The driver seems to have forgotten where he was, and drove up towards the tracks without stopping to investigate. —Monticello Journal.
