NUNDA, June 12. — Addison YENCER, a small boy living on the Creek road, near Nunda Junction, was nearly killed Sunday afternoon by being kicked by a horse. He went out in the pasture to catch the animal, preparatory to driving to Nunda to church, and when near to it, the horse suddenly reared and kicked at a horse on the opposite side of the fence, missing it, but striking the boy full force in the abdomen, knocking him down. He attempted to arise and go to the house but before he had gone far, he fell in a faint, with blood streaming from an ugly wound in the stomach. Dr. C.J. CARRICK was called and pronounces the boy in a very serious condition. No bones were broken. A young man by the name of LANGDON, who lives at Hermitage, was wheeling through this section of the country Sunday, being bound for East Koy.

As he was going down a hill near that place, he lost control of his wheel and was thrown with terrible force several feet in the air and landed in such a manner as to injure him quite badly internally, besides reducing his clothing to rags.
