GEO. A. HALL lost a horse very sud
denly last week. He was five miles
from town in KentOn hundred. when
all at once his horse suddenly fell in
the road and was apparently dead in
an instant. He made arrangements
with farmer to have it hauled to a
field, and was fortunate in catching a
townsmAn who was passing by, to get
himself and vehicle home. The ami
NAL was the driving horse of the late
Samuel Reynolds, and the singular
coincidence was that both without a
moments warning should drop sudden
ly dead.
