Sad Accident at CelIna.

On last Saturday week horse race took
place at Cclina, which resulted in a sad
ending. After some little parleying, the
horses were brought on the track and start
ed, but on turning at one of the corners of
the track the horses flew frsm it and ran
into fence, both striking at about the
same time. The result was that the ride T
of one OF the horses was thrown to the
ground, breaking his skull, from which in
jury he died the next morning. The boy
that rode the other horse was not hurt but
the horse was so badly injured that it il
not likely il will ever be Of amy account.
1t will be remembered that that day was
the coldest Of the season, and il is supposed
that both horses were blinded by the frost
gathering over their eyes when they left the
track. The boy killed was William Page,
of Winchester, Ind. lie was satisfied that
something terrible would happen to him
and tried every honorable way to get rid
Of riding the race; so deeply WAS he inn
pressed with his foreboding that he gave
his watch to one OF his chunis and his over
coat to another, saying, that il he got killed
he wanted them to keep the articles in re-
membrance of him. Young Pages CON
sent to ride the race, was gained by max
ing him drunk, and, it is said, in this con-
dition he was allowed to bring the horse
upon the track. A terrible responsibility
rests ON s0me one for the death of Page
