A man named Standish, of Taunton, was riding towards town, on Saturday afternoon, with a horse and chaise, when his horse became frightened, near the two-mile corner and commenced running; his owner was unable to hold or manage him, and he dashed along at a fearful rate, over the road, down Broad street, and down the Parade and dashed his head against the store of J. T. Almy, Esq., and fell dead. Mr. Standish was considerably freightened, <sic>, but not injured; but little damage was done to the chaise.-- [Newport News.
