A xmiNSTEIt. - A few days ago, a man in the cm
-
ploy of Mr. Robert hare, butcher, of Kilmington,
drove his mastei's horse and cart to Coaxdon
arriving there after dark, about seven o'clock in the
eve g. The river Axe Flows close by the mill, and
the late rains had much increaisml the stream.
While the man went into the bowie, the home pro-
ceeded to the edge of the water, probably to drink.
Hearing the moving wheels the man ran out, but it
was too late, for the rapid current had taken both
horse and cart, and Isdh were Ikea to view. The

horse being heart snorting and blowing, and going
oil intro the distance, all available hands were speedily
hailed to the rescue by the astonished driver, who,
in his anxiety, began to strip, and could hardly be
restrained from plunging recklessly into the river,
in search of the missing horse and cart. After the
party had stretched their sight and proceeded 1101116
distance along the bank, at length by means of the
ilooting cart, just visible, the porthee of the horse
was discovered, with as nose only just above water,
and still going rapidly down the stream. Tbe river
being very deep for a hole; distance, it was sane
time before the horse could find a footing, and even
after it hail once been nearly rescued it plunged
about in its feat% and got again with the cart into
the stream. However, it was finally rescued.

the freak of this aiiiiiial the more remarkable is that
it did not scent to be acting under any extraordinary
