RUEAwAT.-A span OF horses belonging TO
John Cogden, attached to a wagon loaded with
wood, took fright yesterday morning, while
standing in front of Sigourney's house on High
street. They ran at full speed down the hill
and crossed the bridge at Oats blacksmith
shop, made short turn and crossed the bridge
at the foot of Main street, then turned again
crossing the Broad street bridge, and were
stopped while coming up Broad street, near the
National Exchange. Notwithstanding the
steep hills, short turns, and distractions on the
route taken by the frightened animals, no dam
age was done.
Academia man named Geo. Deacon
had his leg broken and was otherwise injured
yesterday afternoon, at Jones' Bar. 1t appears
he was taking turn with derrick rope around
two small trees, when the rope slipped and as
it few off the end caught round his leg, jerking
him against the tree and breaking the leg. The
rope then slipped from his leg otherwise he
would have been drawn between the two trees,
(which were not over eight inches apart,) and
torn to pieces. We are indebted to DR.. Har-
yey Hunt, who attended the injured man, for
the above particulars.
