        Fatal Accident - A sad and fatal accident happened in the town of
      Sevastopol in this county, on Thursday last, to JOHN W. GARLAND, a
      boy 10 years of age, and the only son of JOHN GARLAND, Co. Register.
      It appears that this boy, with several others, were in the woods, and
      not far from home, and while at their sports beneath a large oak
      tree, a dry limb which had been lodged in top of the tree, was blown
      down, striking the boy upon the head, crushing him to the earth,
      breaking the skull, arm and thigh bones. He was immediately picked up
      by his comrades and carried into the schoolhouse senseless, where his
      father arrived to see him breathe his last.
        This is a severe shock to Mr. and Mrs. GARLAND, and they have the
      heartfelt sympathies of the whole community.
        The funeral will be at Mr. GARLAND'S house to day (Saturday) at
      11 o'clock.
