Horrible Death

Mr. SEYMOUR A. GILLETT, a farmer of Naples, in this county, was gored to death last Friday by a Bull. It appears that Mr. GILLETT went to his pasture in the morning of the day named, for the purpose of driving home a pair of oxen preparatory to hauling a lot of potatoes which himself and a younger brother had commenced digging. He did not return, but his prolonged absence excited no fears, as it was presumed that he had gone for something to the residence of his father about three miles distant. But it was discovered the next morning that he had not been there; and his brother thereupon proceeded to the pasture and commenced a search for him. Approaching the cattle, he observed the Bull making unusual demonstrations of excitement and rage, and was finally driven from the field by the infuriated brute -- not, however, without seeing enough to satisfy him that the missing man had been killed.

The neighbors were then got together, and some of them, armed with rifles, entered the enclosure and finding it impossible to drive the Bull away, finally fired upon him. He was brought down after receiving ten shots, and the field was then searched. The remains of Mr. GILLETT were soon found. The body was stripped of clothing, and had been pierced through and through in several places by the Bull's horns. It was otherwise awfully mangled, and so much disfigured as to be scarcely recognizable. A club was found nearby, with which it appeared the unfortunate man had attempted to defind himself in the unequal struggle. Pieces of clothing were also found scattered about the field, with other indications that the contest had been a severe and protracted one.
