Horse Hors du Combat.
A curious mishap befell one of the horses of
the Belfast stage yesterday while passing
through South vassalboro' en- route for this
city While the stage was descending hill
it was preceded by Mr.. @. A. Chadwick, of
South China, who was riding in buggy, Mr.
Chadwick with his team reached the bottom
of the hill and began the ascent OF another
one before him, with a somewhat slackened
speed. when he was not allittle fastounded to
behold "Jerry's" off wheel horse absolutely
in the buggy instead of himseE 1t seems
that the impetus acquired by the stage while
descepding the hill vas tso much for the
horses to overcome before, they were ''jam
on" Mr., Chadwick's carriage. The leading
stage horse passed left ofthe obstacle, and by
some legerdemsin the off wheel horse was
thrown completely iato the buggy, and coahi
not be. got, ont again until the waeels were
removed ana buggy md horse ~ere lowered
to the ground. Strange to say no one in the
melee was injured-not even the horse, seri-
ousy. There were, six passengsrs in the
coach among whom was Hon. A, H. Abbot Of
