Union Church, in travelling the
usual gait on an even road, one
of the pair snapped the bone of
one of its legs just above the ankle
joint. Mr.. Denney heard the snap
he says distinctly. He borrowed
a pair of shafts and with the other
horse came on to town for DR..
Lambdin, but they concluded from
the distance the horse was from
home it would be a difficult task
at best to set and save the limb,
and so the poor animal was knock
ed in the head. 1t was a valuable
young horse, three years old, for
which a short time before he had
refused 5000.

fined to the house but few days
and no solicitude was felt until a
few hours before her death, and
Mrs. Beck herself passed into un-
