A very sad accident happened yesterday to a lad, 17 years of age, named George Maxwell, second son of Mr. John Maxwell, the wellknown storekeeper here. The lad had gone out on horseback yesterday afternoon with some dogs, to hunt hares on Mr. Peter Grant's farm. Ho was last seen about live o'clock when riding along a ridge or> the farm. As he did not appear at homo «t. ten o'clock at night, his father, becoming anxious, sent affer him. On reaching Mr. Grant's farm it was found that he had not been seen since five o'clock ; and, on search beinj; made, the dogs were found, and on going to where they were young Maxwell was found lying unconscious. It was evident his horse had stepped into an old potato pit and thrown his rider. Tho lad was removed to Mr. Grant's house, where he yet lies in an unconscious state, the whole of his left side and head being badly bruised, and apparently paralysed. The event lias cast quite a gloom over the town, the youth being so well known, and a general favourite.
