         A young man named GEORGE SHERWOOD, while driving with an
       empty sled, near Dean's camp, in the Township of Seville, 
       on Saturday last, was thrown from the sled and caught be-
       tween it and a stump by the road side, crushing his skull.
       He was taken up in an unconcious state, and although surgi-
       cal aid was immediately procured, he survived but about
       three hours.

         The St. Louis Gazette of the 2d says: A gentleman of Elm
       Hall informs us that on Saturday last, a man by the name
       of GEORGE SHERWOOD, of the Township of Seville, was thrown
       from a sleigh and killed. It seems that SHERWOOD, in com-
       pany with a man by the name of WELCH, were going after a
       load of hay. SHERWOOD stood up in the sleigh, hanging hold
       of a stake, when it broke, letting him fall to the ground,
       striking his head against a log, and causing his death.
