On Monday week a singular accident happened
to a man named James Harding, who is employed by Mr.
John Simmons, of New Lodge farm, Little Beddow, an
stockman. He war engaged feeding some bullocks, when
by some means one of the animals thrust its horn into Her-
ding's mouth, cutting it in a fearful WOW and laying it
open from each side to the nose, and leaving then if=p
hanging loose. He was quickly attended by Mr. ,
surgeon, of Malden, under whose skilful treatment he is
likely to recover the use of his month.—Essex Herald.

VW/ to get into the train, bat, missing his footing, be fell
on the line. when two or three of the carriages passed over
his body. When taken up be was quite dead.

escaped ; they were cared for just in time, sod removed to
a place of Wray, only a day or two before the flood came.
