The circumstances were most awful.

At Great Bedwin, aged 20, Ellen Cordelia, eldest daughter of Mr. William Bartlett, surgeon; and on the 29th, Henry, his youngest son, aged 18; and Miss Susan Bartlett, his sister, aged 51. The circumstances attending the deaths of the two latter, were most awful. They left Mr. Bartlett’s house for Marlborough, to order mourning, accompanied, in Mr. Bartlett’s phaeton, by his youngest daughter. As they were proceeding down Knowle-hill, the wind uprooted a large beech at the moment that the carriage was passing; one limb fell upon the horse, and two branches diagonally upon the carriage. One of these fell upon master Henry Bartlett, who was driving, and the other upon miss Susan Bartlett, who was sitting in the seat behind, and their deaths must have been instantaneous. Miss Elizabeth Bartlett, who was sitting next her brother, escaped miraculously between the two branches, but was unable to extricate herself on account of a small branch lying over her. In this situation they remained for nearly an hour, till they were discovered by some woodmen who were going to work.
