A Horrible Death.

Last week Mr.. s. W. McClelland left
his home in Carthage to visit q neighbor-
ing town. He rode along for two or three
miles very comfortably. On the road he
overlook Miss Bliving to whom he was
engaged to be married. She was also
mounted and gaily dressed, and had a
scarlet ribbon for a sash. The horse of
Mr.. McCleIIand seemed to become frigh-
tened at the sight of the dazzling colors
and became restive. The rider, however,
managed him pretty we'll, and continued
to jog on by the side of Miss Blivins until
that thouyhtless young lady gave him q
slight tip of her switch, when he started
off like streak. She spurred up her lit
tie mare after the enraged horse, but was
speedily left behind.
The horse rushed madly on, and in
crossing a broken part of the road two
miles from Lebanon, in Wilson county, he
threw his rider violently to the ground
The riders foot caught in the stirrup, and
he was dragged along the rough road at
the rate of twelve miles an hour at the
heels of the infuriated horse. His bones
were nearly all broken, and he was gashed
and mangled up in a most frightful man
ner. The horse didn't atop till he ran
into the square in Lebanon, when he fell
down exhausted, and died in n Jew
minutes. The mangled remains Of the
rider wore gathered up, put in box and
sent home to his friends.

Compulsory Education Inn Connecticut.

Connecticut, which has as good com
mon school system as there is i'll the Uni
ted States, now virtually compels children
to avail themselves of its advantages. The
last General Assembly passed law which
requires three months schooling each year
"a the legal condition of employing minors
under fourteen years of age. If any man
ufacturer or other person shall hire minor
contrary to the provision of the law, he
forfeits 800 to the State Treasury for each
offence. The schools of the State are free
TO oil, and now the poorest people are COM
PEELED to educate their children, since their
employment is absolutely conditional upon
| such education. It is noted that the man
ufaciurers throughout the State cordially
approve OF the new law, and only a few
laboring men oppose it.
