On Monday last, Jacob Underwood, who resides west of Highland, Helt Township, walked out to his son David, who resides on the Dugger farm. In the afternoon he went out in the woods with his son, and all of a sudden his son noticed him staggering and in the act of falling down when he caught him. He was removed to the house and Dr. O.M.
