Accidents.
On Thursday morning, the 22d inst., Mr. Ichabod G. Corwin, oldest son of Mr. Jesse B. Corwin, met with an accident in the town of Genntown, which instantly resulted in his death. He was engaged in hauling wood, and after having unloaded at the house of Mr. Hough, drove down to the blacksmith shop of Mr. Stewart, where having business, he unhitched his team and turned it a little off the pike. Just at this moment, and while standing close to a young mare about four years old, a wagon, containing a threshing machine, drove up behind the horses of Mr. C. and greatly frightened them. They started off on a run, wheeled short to the right in the direction of Waynesville, and while in the act of turning around, Mr. Corwin sprang towards them for the purpose of seizing the reins, but missed them, and only succeeded in grasping a portion of the side harness. Holding onto the horses in this manner, he was carried by them about thirty yards, on the near side, when, by a sudden spring of the horses, he was thrown under them on the off side near the edge of the pike. The result was, his left temple was fractured by the fall on the road, and the horses and wagon passing over his body, broke his left arm and dislocated his spine.
Mr. C. was a young man of excellent character, amiable in his disposition, quiet and unobtrusive in his deportment, industrious and energetic, and was much beloved by a large circle of relatives and friends.
