ACCIDENT
Mr. SURMON, of the Public Library, sustained an accidental fall yesterday, which fortunately was less serious in character than was at first supposed. He was returning from market, when his horse took the liberty of indulging in a “buck”, and Mr. SURMON was suddenly thrown over its neck and head. He was for some time insensible, which Dr. DAVIS attributes to a concussion of the brain; but we are glad to hear today that he is very much better, with every probability of shortly resuming the discharge of his duties at the Library.
