CooI -VEnY.-A few weeks ago, while a
gentleman I, was driving from this village
to HinsdilWlle, when some two miles or
more from tho village, his horse stepped into
hole in such a manner as to break his leg
when the owner Of the animal coolly got out
of his cutter, cut OFT the leg where it was
broken, threw it into the cutter aud drove the
horse home upon three legs the remainder of
distance some two miles We learn that he
has now sued the town for damages to his
horse. We rather guess he had better ascor-
tain what the ia'o Is in regard to driving ami
mails after their legs are broken, before he
comes to trial upon the case, and he may
then conclude to pay his own costs, thereby
save himself from being rosecuted.-Banaer.
