Bad Accident.--- On Friday evening, July 2d, as Dr. W. J. GREEN was going home his horses ran away. The tongue of the wagon fell to the ground, upset the wagon, and threw Dr. GREEN, his daughter and a Miss ALLENDER out. The Dr. was badly hurt, the right side of his neck being paralyzed. There seem to be no bruises on his body. Miss Laura GREEN was also badly hurt; two of her teeth and part of the upper jaw bone being knocked out. She also received severe bruises on the body. Miss ALLENDER’s injuries are not of a severe character. For several days the Dr. lay in a comatose state. We trust his injuries will not be permanent.

P.S.--- Dr. J. S. SHAW has since removed several pieces of the fractured bone from the mouth of Miss GREEN. All the patients are doing finely.
