RUNAwAY.-Mr William Slade, of Mortified,
formerly resident of Middlesex, met with an ac-
cident on Saturday evening last which came near
proving very serious in its results. On returning
home from this village, as he descended the sand
hill toward Harrison Alexanders, his horse took
fright at a large tub standing by the roadside,
and running off the bank threw both Mr.. Slade
and his wife violently to the ground. Mr.. Sade
chung to the reins, and after being dragged some
five or six rods succeeded in stopping the horse,
though at the imminent peril of limb and life OF
course he was seriously bruised and scratched.
Mrs. Sade, being quite corpulent, fell more
heavily than her husband, and received ap-
parently more serious injuries from the force OF
the fall and from bruses-though happily NJ
bones appeared to be broken. The damage to the
wagon consisted only Of broken thill The par.
ties were taken to Mr.. Alexander's, and after re-
pairs to the wagon were able to proceed to theil
| home-thankful for their hair-breadth escape.
