SAD ACCIDENT AT WAvERLY.-We learn from
. gentleman of this place that during the ls tier
part Of last week very sad accident occurred in
Waverly The particulars, asfar our informant
was acquainted, are as follows A gentleman Of
that village started from his dwelling to 70
across the street for . pail Of water. In the l
street he met an acquaintance with whom he /
stopped to talk, and while standing there load |
Of lime passed him. In a few moments he went
on, got his water and was returning when anoth-
er team came along and as it reached the spot |
where he had 30 recently stood, suddenly sheer
ed oil, apparently frightened at something lying
IN the road. Upon looking for the object Of the |
horses fright, the gentleman found his child !
lying in the road literally cut through and |
through by the wheels Of heavy loaded wagon. |
The general superstition is; that the child unper- |
ceiyed by the father, had attempted to follow |
him when he went after the water, and reaching |
the center Of the road had fallen down, and the |
wagon, supposed TO be that containing the linle |
had passed over it without the knowledge Of the |
driver or cry from the child. We cannot give |
the name or age Of the child.-Cedar Falls Ga |
