Two men came along the Greek road
from Salisbury, on Friday last, leading
large bull buffalo. 1t was at time of
day when many carriages were out for
drives. OF course they were frightened
and some of them became nearly or quite
unmanageable. Ono horse dashed out,
first this side then that, finally starting to
run came in contact with u high fence,
when all the occupants Of the carriage
were thrown violently over the dash
board, the lady and child falling under
the horse. The gentleman striking upon
his feet sprang to the horse and held him
until the lady succeeded in extricating
herself 1t was almost miracle that
they were not seriously injured.
