On Monday 12th inst., a man in the employ of James STICKNEY of Brighton (Carleton Co.) named Emerson FOSTER was kicked in the breast by a horse. He mentioned the circumstance to the family at the time, but as he made no further complaint, they thought he had not been seriously hurt. The next morning he went about his work as usual. One of the horses having got his foot over the trace, he stooped down to put it back and fell forward on his face. On being lifted up, he was found to be dead. It was afterwards ascertained that the breast bone was broken by the horse. - Carleton Sentinel.
