Gorad to Death.

About o'clock last Saturday evening
the body of William Howey, farmer who
resides just South of Mullica Hill, on the
Bridgeton road, was found dead in his pas
ture field, about $50 yards from his resi-
dence. His body was shockingly mutila.ed,
the nature of the wounds leading unmis-
takably to the conclusion that he had been
gored to death by one of his animals.
At o'clock Mr.. Howey started for the
pasture field for the cattle. At that time
his wife and daughter were seated on the
porch. Afterward the daughter went to
Mallica Hill on an errand, returning about
Z o'clock. Her father not having returned
she went into the barn, but he was moi
there; after waiting awhile they went to
neighbor's, and a hired man looked oyer
the pasture field but did not see him. Then
word was sent to Mullica Hill and half
dozen men came out and went over the
pasture field, and found his bruised body.
His hat lay about rs feet from the body,
and leads to the conclusion that he was first
attacked where it lay, and was rolled and
gored oyer the distance between where the
body was found and the hat.
The conviction of all is that the bull, a
Holdstein, the property of Mr.. Howey's
neighbor, Richard s. Wood, made the at
tack when Mr.. Howey entered the field, as
when taken to his stable next morning, Mr.
Wood found blood on the animals horns.
The bull has meyer before given evidence
OF yiciousness, and his conduct in this in
stance is only surmised.
Coroner Ledden, of Glassboro, held an
inquest on Tuesday, and the jury render ed
o verdict of accidental death.
Mr.. Howey was ga years old, and at one
time was one of the county's largest and
most successful cattle raisers.
The funeral took place on Wednesday
interment being in the Baptist cemetery,
Mullica Hill.

THREE DEATHS IN WOODBURY..

Dr. AMOS CATTELL, elder brother of Adon
W., Edward c., and George W. Cattell o.
this city, q well-known veterinary surgeon,
Of Lancaster, Pa, died at the residence Of
his brother, Adon W. Cattell of Woodbury.,
Monday morning, after a lingering illness
whence he had been removed several weeks
ago. DR.. Cattell was So years old, and was
native of Gloucester county. He had
resided in Lancaster for II years. The
funeral will take place from the residence
OF his brother, this afternoon, at two o'clock,
He will be inferred in Eelington Cemetery.
Clarksboro. Deceased leaves one daughter
Coroner GEO W. SMITH was found dead
in his bed at the residence IF his sister at
| |. 30 O'Clock Monday morning. Mr.. Smith
had returned home late Sunday night,
entering the house SO quietly as not to dis
turb any of the inmates. On rising In the
morning his sister looked into mis- room to
see if he was there, and he was lying in
bed, in a natural position, breathing
heavily. She proceeded with her house
hold duties and it was not until l 80 that
it occurred to her to arouse her brother,
when he was found unconscious. Dr. Geo.
E. Reading was called and found that he
had been dead several hours An empty
two-ounce laudanum bottle found on the
washstaud aroused suspicion that death
was not from natural causes, and Coroner
John B. Carey's jury after hearing the
evidence of the Doctor, deemed a post
mortem necessary to determine the cause
of death, and Drs. Reading and Il. H.
Clark made the same on Tuesday. This
examination enabled the jury to render
verdict of death by opium poison.
Mr.. Smith had held the Office of Justice
of the Peace Tor several years, was three
years ago elected one of the Coroners of the
county, and did considerable business in
pension claims After the retirement Of
Jos. L. Franklin from the Surrogates office
he took the position of Deputy Surrogate
which he held until about two months age.
The suicide theory is strengthened by
the fact that on Saturday he sold the law
books necessary in-his Justice of the Peace
business, and on Saturday evening turned
his keys Of the Surrogate's Office over to
Janitor Chew. He was 81 years of age,
and unmarried.
WILLIAM HENS, German American
citizen of our city, a resident of the First
Ward, died at his residence, on Saturday
morning last, in the 69th year OF his age
He was stone mason by trade, and an
industrious, upright man. He leaves a
