him furiously, and attempted to pass.
Austin was not in condition to manage
his horse very well, and the result was Il
collision. Mr.. Goodrich's buggy was
upset, coming down upon him, the horse
was frightened and ran, though Mr..
Goodrich hung TO the rcins until he was
dragged some distance. The old gentle
man was finally exlricatcd from the ruins
and carried into the house Of Mr.. jackson
where he remained until sufficiently re-
covered from the shock TO be carried
home. Meanwhile the horse kept run

self from the wagon. We have not
learned what injuries the horse sustained.
At last accounts Mr.. Goodrich was
recovering from the effects of his severe
bruises.
