Wonderful Escape.

On Sunday last, says the POHsUiHe En-
porium, our friends, Major Samuel NJ.
Mills, and Mr.. Daniel Glassmlre, took
a sleigh ride 10 the New town of Ash
land, on the North side of the Broad
Mountain, in Butler township, about
twelve miles from Pousville. When they
reached Wassers Broad Mountain House,
they met young Mr.. Wasscr, who agreed
TO accompany them to Ashland. He har-
messed into sleigh fine young racing
horse, (valued at $3.50 to 5Oo,) and started
after Messrs. Mills and Gassmire. In
passing some sleds, young Wasser upset
his sleigh, himself and his companion were
thrown out, and his horse started TO run.
Messrs NJ. and G. were dccendlng the
mountain, when looking back, they saw
Wasser's horse coming on full run behind
them. They turned out and made way
for the runaway; the horse passed them,
and about 200 yards further down came in
contact with drove of cattle coming to the
Pottsyiile market. The poor brute threw
himself with great violence on the head OF
a stout bull in the drove. Both horns of
the bull entered the horses body, one in
the breast in front of the shoulder, the 9TH
er lust behind the shoulder. One of the
horns was taken off in the body, and the
horse dropped dead instantly, in his death
struggle knocking another OK Of the drove
insensible upon the ground, where he lay
for some minutes as if killed by the violence
Of the shock. Thepoor horse was unhar-
messed as he lay,and his mangled carcas roll
led over the steep mountain side, food for
the wild beasts and birds of prey,
