was riding horseback last Friday, her horse became
unmanagoablcand she was thrown. She was riding fast
at the time, in order to ovcrtakc party that
the road in advance nJid she fell in such position
against rock that her horse rolled upon her and
kept her for long time in imminent danger; for the
animal was rcstvc and in his struggles to get free,
kicked violently. Several gentlemen who were in tho
noghborhood hurried to her assistance. Among 9TH
crs were Mr.. M,HrIN V. Il. WILcoxsoS who is spend
ing IL time ut the water Cure in this village, and Mr..
GREEN, Of this place
Mr.. Wicoxson in his generous efforts to relieve ,hc
young lady from her pcrilous condition, received
violent and dangerous blow in the face, from which
however We are glad to learn that he is recovering
Such noble gauntry is deserving Of every consdcra
ton, and should receive the grateful acknowledge
ments Of every friend of humanity.
| Mr. Green was more fortunate. Alternating on the
ladys skirts he succeeded, ut favorable moment
amidst the struggles Of the horse in pulling her out
and placing her beyond farther danger Though some
what bruised, we are happy to hear that her symp-
toms are considered favorable. Miss. Ranncy, we
understand, is thoroughly pncticcd in horscmun-
ship; the fault consisted in not using mnrimgncs.--
The horse wished to go in one direction while she
wished him to 60 in anoher and if there had been
pair of marngaleson, the accident could not have
happened
