Saturday 24 Aug 1844 (p. 2, col. 7-8) DR. DALTON'S TOMB.-On Thursday last, the upper stone was placed over the vault in which the remains of Dr. DALTON were interred on Monday. This stone, which is what is well known under the name of "Yorkshire flag" was procured from Yorkshire, expressly for the purpose. It is a beautiful stone, exceedingly hard and compact, and measures 10 feet 1 inch in length; 6 feet 8 inches in breadth, and is of the uniform thickness of six inches. FATAL ACCIDENT.-On Wednesday, the 14th instant, Thomas SMITH, of Warcop, bacon dealer and grocer, met with an accident which, we are sorry to say, proved fatal. It appears that deceased, who was also a carrier, was on his way to Barnard Castle market, and had reached the Barras Brow, about a mile from Slip Inn, on Stainmore, between one and two o'clock in the morning, and is supposed to have been asleep, when the horse deviated from the road and overturned the cart. He was found shortly after the accident occurred, by some other carriers, resting against the wall in a very weak state, and they immediately removed him back to the Slip Inn. Medical assistance was procured, and, on examination, one of his ribs was found to be broken, and the other injuries on his breast of such a serious nature as to cause death the following evening. Deceased was 57 years of age, and generally respected. DON'T PLAY WITH BULLS.-On Sunday se'nnight, an accident of a serious character occurred to a young man named John DENT, a servant with Mr. R. WALTON, Crackenthorpe, near Appleby. The young man whose duty it was to attend to Mr. WALTON's bull, had gone with an acquaintance and another of the servants to view the animal, which is allowed to remain untied in the house in which he is confined. DENT, to show the bull's docility, went into the place and three or four times called him to him, patted him, and then ordered him off again, when, without any apparent signs of irritation, the animal rushed at him and violently crushed him against the wall. This was repeated a second time, when the other men, having armed themselves with sticks, resolutely assailed the furious beast, and succeeded in keeping him at bay till the poor fellow was dragged to the door, where he remained in a state of insensibility for several minutes. The injuries which he had received were of a severe nature-on the abdomen; and one of the horns had slightly touched his right side; but we are happy to say that he is now fast recovering. Such an alarming accident as the above, that in a few minutes, if assistance had not been rendered, would have proved fatal, ought to be a warning to others not to trust too much to the tractableness of these animals. The bull obtained the head prize of the Appleby and Kirkby Stephen Agricultural Society on two successive occasions. THE MURDER AT EIGHTON.-This affair remains in as deep a mystery as ever. The inquest on the body of the deceased, ROBSON, was resumed at the office of the Team Colliery, on Friday, last, before Mr. FAVELL, coroner, but no light was shown on the subject, and the inquest was adjourned for a month-to Friday the 13th of September.
