Serious Accident
    A serious accident occurred to Mr. and Mrs. James Jorolaman, (parents of Mrs. Wm. S. Van Zandt, of this place,) on Saturday, 24^th ult. We take the following particulars from the Somerset Messenger: They were returning from Liberty Corners to their home at Lesser X Roads in a two horse carriage, and while descending what is known as Drumond’s hill, the “goose neck” broke, and bringing the wagon against the horses they became unmanageable, and suddenly turning, threw Mr. and Mrs. J. to the ground. Several persons who saw the occurrence hastened to their assistance, and both were found insensible and bleeding. The whole left side of Mrs. Jorolaman’s head and face was torn and mangled in a horrible manner, and she received internal injuries which may yet proved fatal. Mr. Jorolaman was also seriously but not dangerously injured.
