PATAPsco IrENs.-The usual February

upon us again, and the waters were conse

days, but no casually occurred. II the great

A very remarkable accident occurred near

road, some two weeks since. A party of
several sleighs called at his house and re.
manned to a late hour, among them was a two.
horse sleigh belonging to Mr.. Elias Reed,
and while the party were enjoying the hospi.
tally Of Mr.. Barrack, the two horses got loose
and travelled up the railroad and on to the
first bridge. The night freight coming along
ran into them, and strange to say, both horses
not only escaped instant death, but we're not
even hurt by the cars. The sleigh, however,
was literally torn TO atoms. The horses in
struggling became detached from the sleigh
and had gotten on one side of the bridge and
were lying much exhausted upon the lower
timbers just out of reach of the cars, one of
them, however, had part of his tail cut off.
In extracting the horses from their perilous
situation, one, in struggling, kicked Mr.. Bar
rack with both feet, and he was picked up for
dead. He soon rallied, but was afterwards
confined to his room for several days The
other horse fell through into the ice and
water and came near being drowned
Mr.. George Ruby narrowly escaped serious
injury on Friday morning. He attempted to
get off the train at Shambergers Station
while it was in motion, and was thrown down
