Brussels theirhorsetook fright on the
9th line and ran away. In turning the
corner, 1e miles East of Brussels the
rig was upset and the oceapants
thrown oat meeting with serious in-
jury. Mrs, Marsh had both arms
broken and was otherwise shaken up
and her slaughter had several teeth
knocked out and her face considerably
bruised. The horse only ran e short
distance when it fell dead on the road.
Willinghands soon came to the help
