Remarkable Leap.--A horse belonging
to John Pitman, Of this city, leaped off the
bank below the Falls ON Sunday afternoon,
a distance of 100 feet and what is most
wonderful, escaped without injury The
place where he fell was full of rubbish, CAL
culated TO injure him, yet those who viewed
his fall from the opposite side of the river,
state that he rose and commenced feeding
in less than five minutes
We saw the horse in question on Mon
day, perfectly sound in appearance, al
though it is allowed by all who have ex-
amined the scene of his performance, that
it far exceeded that which proved so fatal
to the celebrated "Sam Patch" This
horse has added another to the proofs al
