\ most melancholy accident occurred ut

last Wednesday night. \ wedding had
Just taken place at the residence Of the
brides parents, and after much merry

hood discharged a gun as parting salute
to the young people The noise fright
ened the horse and he dashed down the
road at furious gallop In attempting to
turn an abrupt curve the carriage was
upset, and the lady was thrown out VIC
lently. She had become eutanglcd in the
reins, and was dragged over the rough
surface of the road at a fearful rate. The
animal subsequently fell into ditch at the
roadside, dragging the unfortunate lady
with him. BY this time the husband,
parents and friends came up with lanterns,
and discovered the remains of the poor
bride partly immersed in the water Of the
ditch, the horse still kicking and strug-
Cling to escape. The head of the lady
was almost torn from the body, every limb
was broken in number Of places, and the
whole body was bruised and lacerated in
a shocking manner. The remains were
removed by the friends, and accompanied
to the scene of the marriage festivities by
the bereaved husband and sorrowing pa.
rents.
