Bend (Wis..) when he learned the follow ing facts, which are substantiated liy Hon. F. 0. 'l‘hr'ope. who resides at We? Ben‘d. On Saturday. the 3d inst. at \ est Bend, the Rev. Mr. Miller was called to go into the country a few miles from town to preach the-funeral sermon of Mrs. Lambert. who wusupp’osed to be Gena. She Was arrayed. in her funeral attire aml placed in her cof fin. It appears that Mr. Miller was the 0‘ ner of a fractious horse. that was some time! unmanngenbll». and would run’awny. He wen to pass through ntimbered country. and o'ri account of arrow drifts the road was almost. impassable, and from this fact the horse succeeded in throwing the-minister from the cutter. From appearances, Mr. Miller was thrown'with great force upon a large on'k stump that was filled wrth short. knots. One of these knots crime in con tact wirh and severed the, jugular vein.
