      Another Accident Near Brownville
      A child Killed - James Sixbury, who lives about one mile from Brownville, towards Berch Lake, came to this city, yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon, accompanied by aneighbor named Rorick or Roderick and his (Sixbury's) son, a bright boy about 5 years old. On his return home, when within one hundred [yards?] of his home, his horses took fright and threw the two men and the boy to the ground. The wheels passed over the head of the boy, killing him almost instantly. Sixbury and his neighbor were badly bruised.
      A sad feature of the affair is that the two men became saturated with whiskey and were unable to control the horses.
