A Sad Accident—On Monday last, a son of Mr. Andrew Rexroad (a lad about 11 years of age) who resides at McDowell, Highland county, was separating some cattle, a cow which had been separated from her calf, sprang over the bars, knocking the little fellow down, and bruising him so severely that he died in a few hours, from the effusion of blood. It is suppose that a blood vessel was ruptured, as the flow of blood from the mouth, nose and ears was very great.
