D1sEMBowELED BY A BULL

GREENvILLE, o. August 3O-About o'clock
last evening William Reed, farmer living near
here, was gored to death by a bull. Mr.. Reed had
let the bull out to water and had just unfastened
the strap from the ring in his nose, preparatory to
putting halter on him, when the bull turned
upon him, plunging his horns into his right side
Just below the ribs, and with one tremendous
surge Of his mighty head al nost completely dis.
emboweled his victim also tearing all his ribs
from his body after which he caught up the
body on his horns and tossed 1t repeatedly In the
air, during which time some men drove along,
and through the barn doors saw what was going
on. Mrs. r ed was cal ed, and while the men.
with clubs and pitchforks, Grove off the bull, the
almost distracted wife dragged her husband out
Of the barn. He died in few minutes

of age son of Mr., H,nry Bornes, living
on the Broad Ridge, was sent on an er-

so long that search for him was institut

limb of large pine tree, about twenty
feet from the ground. When asked to
descend he declared that he could not,
and the man who climbed the tree for
him found great difficulty in breaking
his hold. He could not account for be-
ing in the tree; the only solution he
could give was that something cold seem.

next thing he knew was that he was up
in the tree. Persons who examined the
place say that the boys tracks could not
be found nearer than twenty feet OF the
tree, while the last tracks seemed to have
been made by skipping or bounding. The
boy has been to town and has been ex.
amined, but the above was all that could

Respectfully Dedicated 10 TTOrkmgmen.
On pleasant summers day
saw some romplng boys at play;
One little lad he stood alone,
And on his face great grief was shown,
asked him why he did not play,
And like the rest be blthe and gay;
81 saw" a boy did rudely say,
His father carry the hod today
And thus it was for that poor boy
His father tOlled-he had no Joy;
Truly we are declining fast
When pratlllng children think Of caste.
In this great nation Of the free
Where all should dwell IN unity;
The almighty dollar is the god,
And rules us with an iron rod
Why should this be- pray, let me ask,
All In lies battle have their task;
Though some have easy, others hard,
The struggling ones are worth regard.
For God has promised In his glory;
We've read 1t Oft in Scriptures story,
And to the mandate we must bow
And earn bread by sweating brow.
Our earthly time at best IS brief,
To oaste's cali freemen should be deaf;
And while we on lies journey plod
Do nothing worse than carry a hOd.

THE HAPPY LIFE.
BY SIR HENRY woTTON,

BY SIR HENRY woTTON,
How happy Is he born and taught
That serveth not another's Will
Whose armor Is his honest thought,
And simple truth his utmost skill
Whose passions not his masters are,
Whose soul Is still prepared for death,
United unto the worldly care
ofpu5lic fame, or private breath.
Who envles none that chance doth raise,
Or vice; who never understood
How deepest wounds are given by praise
Nor rules of state, but rules Of good.
Who hath his lie from rumor freed,
Whose conscience IS his strong retreat;
Whose state can neither flatterer's feed,
Nor ruin make oppressors great,
This man is freed from servlle bands
Or hope to rise, or fear to fall;
Lord Of himself, though not Of lands,
And having nothing, yet have all.

Death OF John yYaYman

We mentioned in our Daily of
Tuesday the receipt of the sad
news of the sudden death of
John Wayman, of Waterloo township.
We met his neighbor, John Bramhill, in
the city yesterday, and obtained from
him the following account of the occur
renee: About O'Clock a. m. Mr.. Way
man went to the well to draw water.
The frame work around it was low.
Just as he raised the well bucket his
feet slipped from under him, there being
some ice where he stood, and he fell into
the well head foremost. When the body
was recovered there was found a severe
supposed that this had so stunned him
that when he reached the water he was
unable TO move. He was found with his
head under the water, and there is no
doubt but that his death was caused by
drowning. Some one of the family saw
him fall, but there was no one about the
premises but Mrs. Wayman and the
children. Before assistance could be
called Mr.. Wayman had remained in the
we'll half an hour. The accident cast
deep gloom over the neighborhood
and in this city where Mr.. Wayman was
well known and had many warm friends.
John Wayman was born in Cambridge
shire, England, and remained in that
country until he reached the age of man
hood. He came here, we think, from
Illinois, and settled on the land where
he has ever since made his home, in the
latter part of March, 1857, having resid-
ed there twenty-tOur years. He was in
dustrious, companionable and kind
hearted. He took much interest in pub
lie matters, both secular and religious.
He was one of the leading members of
the NJ. E. class in his neighborhood. and
was strong and faithful friend of NOR
atty and education. He was often a
delegate 10 the Republican conventions
of the county, and in that of last fall
took prominent part.
Some years ago Mr.. Wayman married
for his second wife the daughter OF
Robert Best, of the same neighborhood.
She is left with six children 10 mourn
the loss of kind and affeclionete faith
er and husband, who by this terrible and
untimeIy accident, closed a useful and
honorable lite. The funeral took place
from the homestead to-day, and was no
| doubt largely attended.
