Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

We have heard a rumor of a very tragical occurrence in Washington county, Indiana. According to a statement made to us, a young couple in that county went to a house and were married last Thursday night, and a large number of persons, agreeably to a prevalent custom, surrounded the house with tin horns, etc. and gave what is commonly called a”a charivari.” Subsequently, the annoyers placed themselves in a wood through which the bridal party were to pass on their return home, and on the approach of the party sallied out with loud noise. The bride was instantly thrown from her horse, and, her foot catching in the stirrup, she was dragged upon the ground, killed, and horribly managed, the affrighted horse continuing to run until he was finally shot. It is added that a young man and a young woman, who waited on the bride and bridegroom, were also thrown from their horses and killed, and that the bridegroom, though not killed, was considerably injured.-We have no names, and we trust that the circumstance of the occurrence are greatly exaggerated.-Louisville Journal.
