Somerset, Aug. 4th, 1874.

NARROW EsCAPE.-On last Saturday
evening, Joseph, youngest son of Mr..
JoRas Bowman, of this place, met with a
narrow escape from being crushed to
death. He had been ordered by his
mother to go to his fathers carriage
shop to tell his father to- "come to sup
per-" taking hls bird-kite with him, he
undertook to "Ay it," without paying
much attention to the teams in the street;
on looking back at it, he came in con-
tact with Mr.. Thos. Ashbrook's horse
and buggy. Not being noticed by Mr..
Ashbrook in time, the boy was thrown
under the horses feet Fortunately, the
little fellow was rescued from terrible
death by Mr.. Thos. johnson, who hap.
pened to be passing along the street at
the time, and was the nearest of the
many who rushed to save the child. The
little shaver, who was only slightly hurt,
expressed the opinion after the excite
ment had somewhat subsidized, that "i,
wasn't good place to fly bird-kite.'
He will likely remember this expert
enee the balance of his life.
