Serious Accident, Horses.

 

     A serious accident occured on the farm of John McAree, in this township last Monday. Mr. McAree was engaged in reaping grain with three horses attached to the machine. His little son, aged about ten years, was riding the lead horse, which suddenly took fright at the noise of the reel and threw the boy to the ground, who was brought into contact with the sickle which completely severed his left leg, nearly at the hip, and also badly lacerated one side of his head.- A re-amputation was made, and the sufferer made as comfortable as possible. But little hopes are entertained of the lad’s recovery.
