ington and Little Sharp streets, met with
most shocking death. 1t appears that pri-
vatc carriage, driven by a colored boy, was

rate, and when nearly opposite the millinery
establishment Of Mr. Hamilton, came in con-
tact with the child, (Which unfortunately hap
pened to be in the street at the tme,) the horse
apparently knocking it down with his fore feet,
when both wheels Of the carriage passed over
its back. The child was Immediately rescued
and taken into the house, and the aid OF DIS
Sexton, Jameson, Jr., and Starr procured, but
their efforts to save its life were unavaing.-
1t survived until about half-past O'Clock,

date cause of death. The deep agony of its
parents at this sudden and distressing event,

an interesting child, aged about II months
We are not aware that any particular blame
attaches to the driver, more than usual on such
occasions; for it appears that drivers of veh-

that every one should 'look out for himself"
