nA,We are thankful to have it in our
power, to say to our friends, that the ac-
cident which occurred to our little daugh-
ter, on Thursday of last week has not prov
ed fatal. 1t was on this wise: Two very
spirited horses, broke from the stable of
Mr. Frye, and were running at full speed,
near the corner Of Sd and Adam streets :;
the child walking on the pavement, and
seeing the horses running towards her, be.
came frightened and involuntarily stepped
from the sidewalk; whercupon ore of the
horses struck her with his front feet, knock
cd her down and jumped over her, grazing
her with bis hind feet, and leaving the
print Of bis hoof on her side. The escape
was said by those who witnessed it, to be
marvellous We tender thanks to God
that our dear daughter has been thus mer-
cifuly preserved.
We attach no blame 10 Mr.. Frye, the
owner of the horses, but such an event
should admonish all persons not to allow
their horses TO run upon the streets, under
any circumstances, when it is possible to
avoid it; and fast riding Or driving on the
streets should be rebuked by force of law.
