Welearn that the driver of the Peoples Line
ofstages, was thrown from his seat about two
miles above Frederick, on Saturday night last,
with the cold, and running into deep hole IN
the road. What is most singular, is, that the
horses continued on with the stage into Freder-
ica turned one or two corners OF the streets as
usual, and slackened their pace when they came
opposite the Post Office, but not being spoken
10 they again started off in trot to Milford,
distance ofseven miles. Here they again slack
ened their pace when opposite the Post Office,
but not being spoken to as before, they again
proceeded in trot to the Hotel, where the stage
stops, and not being checked there, they con-
tnued on to the bridge turned at the usual place,
and came up to the door of the Hotel again.
by which time the landlord came to the door,
and called 100, not supposing, however but that
the driver was on his seat,0where the horses
remained for some time. No accident what
ever occurred. We only notice this circum-
stance to show the wonderful sagacity of that
