PoLITIcAL.-Mr. B. r. Wilmot, formal

his withdrawal, that he preferred solid
party organization TO any position, and
that he believed, in the existing state Of
afairs, harmony could best be preserved
by his withdrawal. He renewed his allie
glance to the Democratic party, and prom

the horse suddenly took fright and began
10 run and kick in a violent manner. In
attempting to stop him, both of the lines
broke, and Mr.. Potter was compelled TO
jump out and endeavor TO catch him. lie
was finally stopped, but not till he had up
set the wagon, throwing Mrs. Potter ont
and severely iniuring one Of her limbs.
She escaped with this and a few other
slight bruises. Her escape was almost mi
raculous, as the heavy bed Of the wagon
was thrown on her, aAd had the sides
struck her about the head or body, Il must
have produced a fatal result.
