A Fatal Accident.
A very sad accident occured{sic} at the home of Chas. Cruson yesterday. His little daughter, aged two years and three months, was playing near a chair, when in some manner she tripped and fell, striking with the back of her neck across a round in the chair, breaking it instantly. The parents, thinking she had fallen in a fit, sent for Dr. Simons at once; but when the doctor reached their home, life was almost extinct and nothing that human hands could do would revive the bright and active little girl of an hour before. She had gone to the one who hath said, “Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for such is the kingdom of heaven."
Mr. and Mrs. Cruson have the sympathy of the community in this, their sad bereavement.—Sun.
