WONDERFUL EsCApE-On Tuesday evening 4
9Th inst. there was quite a storm Of wind and
ain in this vicinity, attended with thunder and
lightning. Many trees were blown down in the :
but no serious damage, VIC believe
vas done. Mrs. Leach, wife Of Mr.. Thomas II
leach, Of this ncighbourhood, was ovcrtaken by
he storm in piece Of open woods about mile c
md a half from home, and finding the storm SO 8
cry violent, she sprung from her horse intending
o let it run back to the open ground, while she a
would make her way to a field few rods distant. 81
he had not gained dozen steps before she heard
crash behind her, and looking round large tree d
ad fallen and killed her horse, crushing the sad n
ic on which she had q moment before been scat p
d and had she stopped long enough to take her q
askct from the pommel, she must have been d
illed. Escaping into the field she aimed for Il
rec the body of which being large and sound she p
bought would shelter her from the storm, but
he wind and rain caused her after going somc =.
;stance to take different direction, here how !"
yer, fresh dangers threatened and she turned 7
gain towards the tree she had first aimed to REACH g
ut before she reached it, it PROSTATE. Had :,
stood a minute longer, or had she not changed b.
er first direction, she would probably have per-
hcd beneath it,
Thus bcset with dangers she gaineda ncighbor ed
y house, where she staid until the following day, eli
hen she reached home in safety.-ZascsriAe a. n
