         Sad and Fatal Accident - We learn by a friend, just
       from Grass Lake, that MR. LEVI BABBITT was killed
       Saturday afternoon, almost instantly. He was driving
       a very spirited pair of young horses, which became
       frightened and ran away, smashing up the carriage and
       throwing MR. BABBITT out in so violent a manner as to
       break his back, and from which he died in half an hour.
       The deceased was an old resident of Grass Lake, a man
       of ample means and most excellent character, was wide-
       ly known and universally respected. His family will
       have the sympathy of a very numerous circle of friends
       in this terribly trying bereavement - Jackson Citizen
