ANOTHER FEARFUL ACCIDENT
Last Thursday Mrs. Hathaway of
MuscalOnge, accompanied by Mrs.
Loomis, Mrs. Sturdevant, and two
Of her own children, went visiting
to the house of Mr.. Reynolds, on
Blake's Prairie. They rode in "a two
seated single buggy drawn by horse
docile enough for all ordinary pur-
poses, but high spirited. The party
started for home in the afternoon. In
going down long hill near Mr.. RS
the horse began to run, increasing
his speed, until Mrs. Hathaway, the
driver, found that she could no long
er control him. Mrs, Looms, who
sat in the back seat, became SO badly
frightened that she attempted to
jump from the buggy. In doing so
her dress was caught by one of the
wheels, and she was dragged with
fearful rapidity considerable dis
lance down the hill. Shortly after
the lady's garments became detached,
the buggy ran into ditch crossing
the road, and all the others were
thrown out together Some parts Of
the harness at this time gave way,
and the horse was 80 entangled
among the straps that he fell TO the
ground at the foot Of the hill, where
he lay struggling but unable to rise.
All were more or less injured, but
the swounds of Mrs. Loomis were
the most serious, and she died from
their effects sometime the next morn
ing The back part of her skull was
trightfully fractured, and the skin
was peeled from ono side of her
forehead in a way that exposed to
view the frontal bones Of the crani-
um. She had also sustained bodily
injuries from which alone she could
not have recovered. Mrs. Looms
was lady of many domestic virtues
and was we'll beloved and highly
esteemed in the community where
she resided. She had been married
but a snort time, and was about TO
move with her husband to Potosi.
Many are the friends that deeply feel
and sincerely mourn her loss, and
the bereaved husband has the SYM
PATTY and consolation of the entire
| community.

Fish Pond, on the grounds of j. s. Pot

other pleasing little gem. But We can
not particularize. Messrs. F. d s. are
among the best portrait and landscape
photographers in New England, and their
list of views now numbers over 700,
besides the American and foreign views.
The best way to understand their enter
prise is to visit their gallery or send a
stamp for their catalogue.
