Howlett met with a frightful and nearly fatal accident on Sunday morning that leaves him in a yery critical conaition, but at this writing there are stiong hopes of his recovery. It seems that while attending tosome horses he must have slipped, falling under a very nervous horse, frighteping him so that he stepped on his face, head and neck, cutting and crushing him in a most frightful manner. He must have lain under the horse for some time, as a large pool of bloodwas found in the stall. In some manner he got out and made his way to the house. He lay in a semi-unconscious state until Monday morning, when he seemed to be more rational, but does not remember how it could have happened. His many excellent traits and genial disposition make his large circle of friends very anxious for his recovery. - Gregory Correspondenceof Pinckuey Dispatch.
