A sad acoident occurred at Meanee on Tuesday, resulting in the death of a lad named Pratt, aged about eleven years. He was sent to bring in a horse, a very quiet animal it is said,and for the purpose of leading the animal tied a piece of rope round its noou, The other end he fow.» ishly tied round his own body. Sdjb thing startled the horse, which bolted, dragging the lad alone tho ground. The obstruction caused by the poor lad's body further excited the horse which lashed out vigorously at Pratt's body, and then trampled on it.

The body of the poor lad was shockingly smashed, portions of his skull being picked up on the road.
