A letter from Canterbury says, that as Dr. and
Mrs. McCloud and two children were airing, at the
entrance of Tiston Park, the coachman was thrown
from his box by the horses taking fright ; they ran
down the Park in full speed, arid broke through a
hedge.; one of the horses struck against a tree with
such violence that he was killed on the spot, the tree
stopping the coach ; the other horse broke from his
traces, and left the Dolor and his family in safety
on the edge of a high bank.
Some days since, as Mr. 13. Hunt, of Lenham,
his wife, and grind child, were returning from
Maidstone in a light cart, with a man leading the
horse, to prevent accidents, unfortunately near the
turnpike an umbrella was incautiously opened in a
sudden manner, and frightened the horse, who drag-
ging the man a considerable distance, he at last fell,
and the wheel went over him; soon after the cart
was overturned, and the persons thrown out, wiNli
great force. Mr. Hunt's skull was broke in several
places, and the child and Mrs. Hunt so much him,
that their recovery is doubtful.
