On the last day of the year, Mr. Baird left his home in this
city to assist in a series of meetings near Rochester in Cedar county. On the 2d day his horse got entangled in the
snow and ice near the Iowa river, and fell upon him. Although able to still pursue his journey, he
was soon admonished of the severe injury inflicted by the fall. He reached his destination, but on the sixth
took to his bed, where he has since remained.
Hopes are entertained that he will shortly be able to return to his
home.
