SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—OR Saturday Captain
Strickland, brother of the celebrated authoress, Miss
Strickland, was attacked by a furious bull, in the erounds
belonging to A. Kidder, Esq., of Plaistow. Checking the
animal for a time by throwing down his overcoat, the cap-
tain reached a quickset hedge, over which he climbed with
much difficulty, and fell many feet into a road at the
other side. Captain Strickland, who is in his 87th year,
was greatly injured by the fall, several of his ribs being dis-
placed, and the right leg and lower portion of the left
arm sustaining compound fractures. He is now lying at
the Black Lion Tavern, and the medical men in attendance
regard his condition with great apprehension, as they fear
the lungs have been perforated.
