The following are the details of the very sad accident, which occurred at Cadet, in this county, on Wednesday last, and which resulted in a horrible, lingering death to Mrs. Lancaster, widow of the late James Lancaster, and sister-in-law to Judge D. E. Perryman. On that day as a daughter of the deceased, Mrs. Cummings, was leading a family horse into the stable, the animal from some unknown cause became either frightened or infuriated, and rushed upon her, emminently endangering her life. Seeing her daughter's critical position, with sympathy and protective instinct of a mother's nature, and entirely regardless of her own safety, Mrs. Lancaster attempted to make her way by the horse inside the stable, to rescue her daughter from danger. The animal meantime breaking loose from the latter, turned quickly around and rushing on Mrs. L threw her violently to the earth, and passed over her. In the fall she either received the full force of the horses feet or was thrown against some object near at hand with such violence as to fracture the temporal bone, in the head.

The aid of Dr. Bruce, of Old Mines, was called in and upon examination of the very serious wound it was deemed advisable to obtain further medical assistance, in consultation. Dr. Hall of this place was called in, and upon consultation it was decided to operate on the following (Thursday) morning, if the patient's case would justify it. This was accordingly done, but the patient was beyond the reach of relief, and, on Friday morning died.
