Kicked TO Death by His Horse,

Charles de HarHatd Carr, manager of
the CINCINNATI Coffin Company, was
Killed in his stable in Cincinnati by
being kicked by one of his horses, about
noon one day recently. The unfortunate
gentleman, who had moved into his ele-
giant new residence at the corner of
Ringgold and Young streets month or
SO ago, hadrecently purchased a very fine
bay horse, and about eleven o'clock on
the morning of his death he left his
house and proceeded to his stable on the
next square to have look at the animal.
When he went into the building he fast
ened its door on the inside, and that was
tho last seen OF him until about half-past
twelve o'clock, when William Brooks,
his colored coachman, who had been
down town on message, went over to
the stable to see what was OBTAINING his
master and keeping him from his home.
Brooks, being unhble to get into the sta
BILE, or to get any answers to his calls to
MIR. Carr, went to the window, which
was open, and, upon looking into it, he
saw Mr. Carr lying on the floor under
the horses hoofs, quite dead He
Jumped into the window and pulled the
body back from the reach of the animals
heels. and then gave the alarm. The
deceased was carried to his home-a ter
rible sight for his loving wife and family.
From the character of his injuries, it ap-
pears as if Mr.. Carr must have been ex-
omining the hind legs of the bay horse,
when gray horse, which was in the
next stall, kicked him in the side of his
face with terrific force. One of the calks
of the animals shoe struck him under
the ear, and DR.. Mussey, who examined
the body during the afternoon, is of the
opinion that the kick broke Mr.. Carr's
neck, and that he died instantaneouslv.

One More Unfortunate.

Almost every day the papers chronicle
the suicide of some poor unfortunate
whose mind has been enteebled by dyspep-
STA, over whose earthly horizon heavy
gloom has gathered from the untold aI d
unreliable agonies of this cruel complaint.
Dyspepsia is one Of the most depressing
diseases affecting humanity. 1t IS cosmo-
pulitan IN its Eature-no country is exempt
from its vistations, no family free from
lite attacks. There is balm in Gilead; it
comes in the shape of the PERUVIAN YRUP.
For years it has been scattering its bless
ings abroad. There is, probably, no dis
ease which experience has so amply
proved to be remediable by the PERUVIAN
SYRUP as dyspepsia. The most inveterate
forms of this disease have been completely
cured by this medicine, as ample testimony
of mary of cur first ctizens prove.
