Republican Compiler (Gettysburg, Pennsylvania) January 19 1825 The Concord N.H. stage was recently overset at Charleston, Mass. The forehorse became entangled in the reins and unmanageable, which caused the whole to set out on a run on the side of the road and the stage was precipitated over a bank eight or ten feet perpendicular, making a perfect somerset, the wheels passing over the heads of the passengers. The carriage was literally stripped to atoms – the leg of one horse was broken in the succeeding flight – but not a hair of the head of one of the five passengers was injured. – Boston Statesman.
