Death Caused By Bull Mr.. Joseph
Hawk, of Taneytown District was killed
on Sunday morning last, by bull.
Mr.. Hawk was on a horse and was driv-
ing the cattle from the barn to pas
ture field, when the bull attacked the
horse. Mr.. Hawk was either thrown
or got off the horse, and was also
attacked by the infatuated beast. Mr..
Hawk not returning member of the
family went towards the pasture field
in search of him, aud on his way
there found the horse which he had
ridden, standing near the icuce aud
bleeding very much. He Immediately
gave the alarm and in short time the
liIeless body of Mr.. Hawk was found
near the place where it is supposed he
was killed. Tho horn of the bull LAGER
ated the right thigh from near the
knee up to the abdomen, and it is
thought that death soon relieved him of
his sutfcrings Mr. Hawk was about
5G years Of age, aud was highly rcspec-
ted 10 his neighborhood,
Our citizens have provided three
sprinkling machines with which to lay
the clouds of dust that in dry weather
almost suifocate them. We were anus.
ed, few mornings since, to hear the
remark Of WAGNER, just in from the
country, who said:-"They seem to
have had a shower here, but We have
had none, our way" Other persons
from the country have made similar
remarks, on seeing our sprinkled streets.
The relief from dust thus secured is a
great comfort to all.
