wheat from • field to • homestead Glow by, when •
• shelf of wheat fal;ing o: the waggoo, the boy stooped
to pick It up Mr. John, who wet Liao working in

boy, and on going to the spot where the deceased war
seen to stoop after the eked of wheat was horrified to
end tke poor fellow lying in the waggon rut with his
heed crashed in • frightful manner. Doeth bad beers

mast have slipped down in endeavouring to place the
shoat on the waggon while it was in motion.
