the Eaitor Of the New York Gazette.
a. WAS called. ON Saturday night
last, TO witness one Of the most dis
trcssing sights that the Imagination
can picture. Joseph Bright Who had
kept, for some years past, one OF the
taverns in our village. ~as discovered
nearly opposite my house, about 9
o'clock H. the, evening, dragging ON his
lace aud breast, under his sulky, and
entirely life.ess. One OF his feet was
fast in the iron brace which secures
the shaft tn the axle. In this manner
he had been drawn Tor mile and n
half-his horse, to all appearance, hav
ing been on q allow walk all the time.
Tho breast bono Of the unfortunate
Bright, and ono halt Of all his ribs,
were entirely worn away. IA was the
greater part Of his under aw.-The
contents Of the chest, with the excep-
ton Of small part of the heart. were
also missing! Indeed, ] never saw any
human being so mIserably mangled.
There Is no doubt il was the result OF
accident, arising from a state Of intoxi-
cation. He was an upright. worthy
man, but would occasionally drink
too much. A widow and six children
are left TO mourn.
