Fatal Accident.

1t is sellom that .ur usually quiet commu
nifty receives SO great shock rs was occasion
ed by the sad and fatal accident which occur
ed al Loihair on Sunday mo orning last wher
Roger a young sol. of Jas. F. Matthews, Esq
about l6 years of age, met his death by the run
ming away of u horse. On that morning the un-
fortunate lad with Bennie Davis, son Of Mr.. inc
T Davis h ID hitched to buggy strange horse
for the purpose of paying visit. The animal
started OF very quietly but while going
through the gate at Mr.. Matthews, home he
suddenly started at full speed directly acros:
the road and ran into the woods on the oppo-
site side. The buggy forcibly struck tree
and threw out both the lads, Benne falling OIL
the turf and escaping with. only slightly
sprained ankle, but Roger was thrown with
great force against the tree and received in
juses which rendered him unable to help him.
self. As soon as his companion found out his
condition he hastened for assistance, and the
lad was carried home and u messenger dis
patched TO St. Thonas's church for his par.
ents and DR.. Robert Digges. As soon as the
Doctor arrived and made an examination he
expressed grave fears of the boys recovery,
as be found him seriously injured internally
though no bones were broken. The ply scian
stated that the greatest injury had been sus-
tanned by the lungs, as the wounded lad had
copious h-morrhages during that day and
night. DR.. Barker was also called in consul
tation but the united skill Of these experienced
practitioners was unable TO stay the fatal re-
suits of the accident, for after constant atten-
ton for a day and hall, the injured lad died
from the effects Of bis wounds at a late hour on
Monday night. The circumstances of bis iea,h
are peculiarly sad and distressing and the earn
est sympathy of our whole community will go
out in heartiness and sincerity to the griei
stricken parents. Roger was bright and
promising lad and 1t is sad that be should be
so early called away in the iullness OF his youth
and strength. His funeral took place from ST.
Thomas's Church on "Wednesday morning -
1t is stated that the running away of the horse
was perfectly unaccountasle as nothing occur
red to frigh,en him and We have since learned
that it was an entirely unsafe animal that had
never been driven, although this fact was un-
known 10 the boys at the time.
