A NOBLE Acr.-On Thursday after
noon, DR.. Gibbes had just stepped out
OF his buggy to speak to n person within
gate on Senate street, leaving small
boy to stand by the buggy, in which his
daughter, fourteen years old, was seated,
with her infant sister asleep in her lap.
While his back was turned, the horse,
although gentle one, was suddenly
| frightened by the abominable music of
some children, rattling upon tin pans,
thirty or forty yards behind him, and
ran up the hill South of the State House
at full gallop, turned North into Assem-
bly, street, one of the wheels grazing
| large tree, and continued Mt full speed
to the corner of Gervais street, where,
fortunately, the powerful hands of Mr..
Matt Hearne, by fearless act of intro
pidity, scizing the reins close to the bit,
arrested him, and in nil probability
saved the lives Of both children by risk
ing his own. Words can but fecbly ex
press the feelings of the grateful parent.
