occurred at Mazo Mamie. The eldest
son of j. Bennett, highly esteemed citi-
zen of that place, had been working on
the road in or near the village, and was
returning home for dinner, Having left
his team for a moment to recover his
whip which had fallen to the ground, the
horses began to increase their speed.
Fearing that they would run away, he
sjIrang to the head of the off horse and
caught the halter, but was almost instant
ly thrown down by kick from the horse
on the legs, followed by a second kick on
the head, which killed him at once. The
boy was about ID years Of age, and a very
trustworthy, intelligent youth. His par
ents feel the loss very keenly, as does the
owner of the team he was driving.

Iowa CouNrY-The Republicans of
Iowa county at their convention on the
Gath ultimo selected an excellent ticket.
The nomination of Major Geo. FL, Otis for
Clerk of the Board of Supervisors,by &C
clamation, for the third term of Office,
was proper tribute to his worth and mil
itary services, and especially gratifying to
his many friends-among whom we count
one. We are also glad to record the nom-
nation of s. w. Reese, ESQ.,, for District
Attorney, and that of W. j.. Wriggles-
worth, of the CHRONICLE, for Surveyor.
With such ticket, there can be no doubt
of success in Iowa county.
The above, from the Richland County
Republican, is a fair sample of the senti'
ments of the people throughout this coun.
ty. The ticket is good one, The men
composing it are on the right side, and
are bound to win.
