    • A Sad Accident

      About 1 o'clock on Saturday afternoon last, as Mrs. A. Singer, living a few miles west of this village, was driving along the road in a buggy near her house, and while coming down a small hill the horse became frightened and started to run, and when near the foot of the hill one of the wheels struck a stump, throwing Mrs. Singer to the ground, striking on her head in such a manner as to break her neck, killing her instantly. She leaves a husband and several children to mourn her untimely death. The afflicted family have the hearty sympathy of a large circle of friends and neighbors in the bereavement.
