SAD ACCIDENT. —On Monday last, a boy named Willis, about 14 years of age, whose father is in the service of J. H. Waddington, Esq., of Langrish House, on his way to school at Petersfield, had occasion to pass by the heels of a colt, which was grazing on Stroud Common, when he thoughtlessly took off his cap and struck the colt with it, and the animal threw out his leg and took the boy a violent blow full on his face, breaking the cartilage of the nose, and otherwise lacerating the face in a fearful manner. Mr. Pink, surgeon, of Eastmeon, was immediately sent for, and we hear the poor boy is progressing favourably, although for some time it was thought that one eye was irrecoverably lost.
