Fatal Accident. In Tioga Village, in this State, a dreadful accident befel a young lad, Lucius TURNER, which caused almost instant dissolution. He was loading a young and fractious horse to water, and in order the better to prevent his escape, had secured the halter by a knot tied fast round his wrist. The horse took fright and ran at full speed. The boy not being able to extricate himself form the halter, was dragged in this situation a distance of fifty or sixty rods over the frozen ground. Pieces of his skull and brains were afterwards discovered along the fatal road. This should serve as another warning to those entrusted with the care of this noble, yet sometimes dangerous animal.

Among the lights of the age, a new gas lamp now exhibiting at Congress Hall in Third Street is worthy of notice. The gas is formed from heated oil; and burns with uncommon brilliancy. We believe it is not the first discovery of the kind; as an Edinburgh periodical mentions a similar experiment made in that city, with success, some years ago. We never learned whether the plan came into general adoption. Philadelphia Gazette

Ice Flood and Canals. Columbia, Feb. 4th. Today we had one of the greatest ice breaks which has occurred in the Susquehanna, for forty years. Five spans of the Bridge, at this place, have been swept off, but the remainder of the structure does not appear to be in any way injured. The ice appears to have been jammed up from Turkey-hill to Conewago Falls, from 5 to 8 or 10 feet deep, and when it got loose, swept all before it. A saw mill and the frame of one are taken away. Notwithstanding the ice and water got into the canal, between this place and Marietta, the walls and embankments are not injured to the amount of $50. A foot bridge is taken away and the abutments of another undermined. The citizens of Columbia sustained no injury. From 80 to 90 hogsheads of whiskey, and a large quantity of lumber was swept off at Marietta, and lodged about 3/4 of a mile below this place, but it can all be regained without much loss.

The first pier of the Monongahela bridge gave way on Saturday last, and the two first arches fell with a crash into the river. Statesman

We are requested to state that a Hatter, harness Maker and Carriage Maker, are much needed at Tunkhannock in this County; and that tradesmen of this description would find it greatly to their advantage to locate themselves there.

A splendid Ball is to be given on 22nd of February, the anniversary of the birth-day of the Father of our County, at Major O. PORTER’S.

Hickory Club – Preamble and resolutions adopted at a meeting on Saturday evening last. (See article)

Execution. The execution of Guy C. CLARK, condemned for the murder of his wife, took place, agreeably to sentence in this village on Friday last. The gallows were erected on the plain, south side of the projecting point of the hill between Fall creek and the Village. CLARK was led from the jail about one o’clock, dressed in a white shroud and cap. An address of some length, he requested might be delivered by some person in his behalf, which was, of course, refused. He addressed a few words to the crowd, the substance of which were, that he was not guilty of wilful murder, but was provoked to a state of phrenzy and momentary insanity when he committed the act for which he was to suffer.

22 February 1832

A Mother of Wyoming. We find in a Connecticut paper, an account of the recent decease of Mrs. Esther SKINNER, of Torringford, in the one hundredth year of her age. Mrs. S. lost a husband, a brother and two sons in the war of the American Revolution. She, with her family, was a resident of Wyoming, at the massacre of its inhabitants by BRANDT and the Indians and tories. Her two sons fell beneath the tomahawk, but the mother, almost by miracle, escaped with six of her children. Her son-in-law was the only man escaped, of about twenty, who threw themselves into the river, and attempted to hide themselves beneath the foliage that overhung the banks. All the others were successively massacred, as they hung by the branches in the river. He alone was undiscovered. The mother travelled back to Torringford where she has led a useful life ever since – often cheerful, though the cloud of pensiveness brought on by her sorrows, was never entirely dissipated. But one of her children survives her. NY Com. Adv.

[Note see Susquehanna Democrat, 20 July 1831]

No paper will be issued by the Susquehanna Democrat this week.

A new Post-Office has recently been established at the mouth of Meshopping [Meshoppen?]Creek in this county denominated the Sterling Post Office and Ebenezer POTTER, Esq., appointed Post Master.

Fire! On Monday evening last, the dwelling house of Sharp D. LEWIS was entirely consumed. The printing office of the Susquehanna Democrat which was situated immediately contiguous, is rendered useless. The press and types belonging to Messrs. KIDDER & COLT, were much injured in the haste to remove them from the building; so much so, we presume, as to prevent them from issuing a sheet this week. The loss by Mr. LEWIS we have heard is from six to eight hundred dollars.

Died – On the 12th inst. at Marietta, Lancaster County, Pa., Asa JACKSON, formerly of Kingston, in this County. And on the 8th inst., at the same place, Mrs. JACKSON, wife of the dec’d. They have left six orphan children to regret their loss.

Building Lots for Sale, at the corner of Canal & River Streets, Wilkesbarre. Thos. INGHAM Jr.

That loathsome disease, the Small Pox, prevails to a considerable extend at Pittsburg. In many instances it has proved fatal.

It is said that the body of Guy C. CLARK, who was recently executed at Ithaca, NY, has recently been disinterred, it is supposed by the physicians, or somebody employed by them.

Trial of Mrs. CHAPMAN and MINA. The court adjourned on Saturday afternoon, the witnesses on the part of the Commonwealth not having been examined. We learn that Mrs. CHAPMAN has summoned about thirty: If they should all be required to give testimony, the trial may be expected to last some time yet. Doyles Dem (See below)

An unfortunate accident occurred in Bath in this county, at the celebration of the 22nd inst. Two young men named WOLF and EDELMAN were engaged in loading a field piece, when by mismanagement or otherwise it discharged itself taking the hand of one of them entirely off and mangling the other shockingly. Their lives are despaired of. East Cent.

The Shamokin Chute. We are requested to state, by those who have full knowledge of the fact, that the Shamokin Chute is now perfectly safe for the descending trade – many arks have already passed the same in perfect safety. Altho’ part of the old dam has been carried off, still we are assured it is no injury to the chute, and that it may be passed in safety. Miltonian

Died – Jacob DANSINGER, an Italian juggler, committed suicide in the Masonic Hall, Harrisburg, by shooting himself with a loaded blunderbuss. Cause not known.

By an extract from our Doylestown correspondent we learn that the trial of MINA has been postponed till the April Sessions of the Court. In granting this postponement it was made a condition that the prisoner’s counsel would allow the depositions of all witnesses beyond the reach of summary process, to be taken, and used as evidence. In Mrs. CHAPMAN’S case, the prosecution closed on Wednesday afternoon. Mr. MC CALL opened her defense in a speech of about an hour which was marked by eloquence and feeling. It is expected that the whole case will be concluded on Monday. Chronicle

Died – In this Borough, on Wednesday evening, James W. BOWMAN, Esq., a member of the Bar of this County, aged about 32 years.

Execution of MINA took place two miles from Doylestown, on the poor house grounds. We learn that Tuesday night MINA attempted to commit suicide by penetrating a rusty nail into one of the veins of his left arm. After having been detected in this attempt and the wound bound up, he swallowed a large quantity of broken glass, but without effect. On being questioned with regard to these attempts, he said that his object was not to commit suicide, but to weaken himself by bloodletting, in order that his death by violence might be rendered easier. Enquirer

In the last Doylestown Democrat, it is stated as a fact, that “some young ladies desired to have some locks of MINA’S hair to adorn themselves with and requested a person to procure it for them. It was obtained, and the hair of the lecher and murderer, fixed in rings and brooches, now garnishes the polished hand and heaving bosom of some of the fairest portion of God’s creation. Well may the writer exclaim, in view of such moral degradation, “Oh! Shame, where is thy blush!”
