Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

The Boston Traveler gives the following account of a singular death from fright in that city.
The following cause of death was reported at the interment office: It appears that some days ago a boy, named Joseph Kennedy, six years of age while sitting in the kitchen at home, received a severe shock of fright from a cat, which had been shut out, suddenly leaping through a pane of glass into the room, shattering the glass. The boy immediately sickened and died, and, as the physician pronounced, solely from the effects of the shock.
