A IioRsE IN A PRINTING OFFICE.-Sat- urday last, whiie all hands were attentiveIy engaged at the types, large likely horse came flashing throughthe back alley, mount ee the platform at the door, for moment took look, then made sudden spring into the office, and struck our large iron press, on which lay the outer form of inc Sentinel. The violence with which the press was struck moved 1t several inches, and brought the animal at full length upon the floor, amidst our cases, stands, &c.- After nearly recovering bis feet, he again fell, but finally rose, made jump, and stood--his eyes flashing and showing symptoms of great fright. He was seized and led to the front door, upon reaching which he ran off at full speed, and we have not since heard Of hum. How we escaped with so little damage, appears miraculous.
