George KIDD, Jr., of near House's Springs, was accidentally killed on the 12th inst., whole ploughing in his field with a sulky plow. No one saw the occurence, but a hired hand, who was n another plow a short distance ahead, heard a noise and, on looking around, saw that Mr. KIDD was down and his team turning around. He ran to him and cut the lines, which were fastened around his waist, and released hi. He got up and walked a short distance, and was afterwards taken to his house, but only lived about two hours. He thought his horses had been attacked by bumble bees or yellow jackets, but only knew that he had fallen from his plow, and what occurred thereafter was a blank to him. The team had turned around twice, and the wheel had passed over Mr. KIDD's breast. His ribs were broken and pressed into his lungs, whether by the wheel or by being kicked by the horses is not know. Mr. KIDD was 39 years old, a member of the Baptist church, and recognized by all as a consistent Christian. He leaves a wife and one child.
