ROBERT COLLINS, aged about 40 years. MR. COLLINS came to town on Monday and when returning home in the evening in attempting to alight from his saddle horse, he fell, and before he could recover himself, the forewheel of the wagon ran over and badly fractured his right leg just above the ankle. Medical aid was called in, but the wound was of such a nature that mortification took place and had hurried an industrious citizen into eternity almost without a moment's warning.
