Mr. Editor--Ihe following event oc.
CURED in PrA'*'', my native town, some
time since. A young man, about 20
years of age, of the name Of G*ss*ss on
public day, being somewhat intoxicated,
rode down the main street with consde-
raole rapidly, and meeting friend, rein
ed in his horse, which was skittish, in or
der to converse with him. Not MANY
words had passed, when the young mans
friend requested him to turn about and
go with him to the "Nortb Woods" -
"PU go 10 Hell first I" was the reply.
The words hardly escaped his lips, when
his horse suddenly reared himself on his
hind legs, and pitching backwards, fell
on his rider and crushed him to death |!
Ho was taken up Iifeless corpse, and
carried into an adjoining house, where
saw him. He was taken at his word |!
Oh where is his soul TITUS.
