| MARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH. About
one o'clock Tuesday morning, Leeds a.
Billings, of this town, Porter Benson,
/ of Clarendon, and Mr. Flanders who
had been in the village, during the even
ing, started for home, in q sleigh drawn
by one of Mr.. Benson's horses, expect
ing safe and speedy trip. They had
driven only about twenty rods and were
| just passing over the railroad crossing,
near Landon 6 Huntoon's store, when
! the mail train, north, over the Rutland
Railroad, came laundering along, the
engine striking between the horse and
body of the sleigh, completely demolish-
ing the sleigh, and throwing Messrs.
Billings, Benson and Flanders "into a
heap" but, strange to say, not injuring
them in the least The horse was left
on the other side of the track, receiving
a severe cut on one of his hind legs, but
not serious enough to prevent her max
ing fast time to Center Rutland, where
she was afterwards found.
This is one of the most narrow es-
Capes from death that we have evcrbeen
called upon to record, and it is one Of
those strange chances or proyidcnces
that it is impossible to account for.
