A boy named Nathan ellison, resid-
ing with his uncle, Elhanan ellison, on
the 23rd of December, started to lead
horse, belonging to his uncle, to a water
ing place, taking with him an axe, with
which to cut the ice. A short time after
the horse was found in the yard, and up
on search being made for the boy, he was
found insensible near the watering place,
with wound on his forehead, immedi-
ately over the eye, caused, undoubtedly,
by the horse, although be was unable to
give any account of his injuries. 1t was
fortunate that he was found as he was
because he was already insensible, and had
he remained some time longer, he must

ed Tyson Furnace, bringing with them a
supply of ''the ardent" but, desiring to
replenish their stock, called on Mr.
Knight, the gentlemaniy clerk of the

demands. At this stage of the proceed
ings, two of the employees of the spathic
Iron Company, who happened to be pre-
sent, informed the young men that they
had already taken sufficient of that ar
ticle. This remark seems to have highly
| offended them, as they at once commenced
an attack on these two persons, and others
coming to their rescue, there was for a
time 'free fight" of which the Ludlow
party '"got the worst" and soon cried
"enough," and Immediately started for
home.
