About a fortnight ago Reid CUTHBERTSON, who lives on Mechanic St., had his finger slightly bitten by a horse, a mere scratch. No attention was paid to it as it was only considered a triling puncture. Tuesday morn. about 1 o'clock he was found in the vicinity of the Brunswick House scantily attired and with a lighted lantern in his hand. He was taken home by a policeman and grew rapidly worse, death taking place last night.
