Obituary:

Fatal Accident - Mr. PETER HORNING, an old and respectable citizen of Pleasant township, in this county, while engaged in cutting down the timber in a clearing last Friday, was killed by the falling of a tree, in the manner following: He chopped off a tree which fell a part of the distance to the ground, when it lodged on another -- not thinking the tree on which it lodged would fall, he used no care in getting out of its reach. The weight of the tree that fell upon it being too great it fell over, falling upon Mr. HORNING, and causing almost instant death.
