A ten year old lad, son of George w.
Ash, was sent upon IN errand, last Wednes-
day morning, but concluded to stop and
play awhile with an old horse which was
quietly grazing on the green, opposite the
Episcopal Church. But the animal, not
properly approaching the caresses of the
lad, planted one of his hoofs with such
force in his right lilac region that he was
knocked down upon the grass, from which
he was gathered up by Mr.. Witworth. He
then thought he had better finish his errand,
which he dill, but upon returning home
began to suffer so much from the effect of
the kick that a physician had to be sent for.
At this writing the extent Of his injuries
are unknown. The moral of this little
story is as follows: Small boys, when they
desire to caress horses, should keep Il safe
distance from their heels.
