Six miles from this place. Mr.. Lee drove

inches deep nor moro than thres feet wide

washed his horse and buggy down and him

struggle and went under. When his con.
sclousness returned he found himself upon
I q DRIFT some distance below the ford, where
the torce OF the stream carried him. and to
i WHICH fortunate circumstance he owes his
lie; The buggy was also lodged in turn

age was therefore comparatively. small.
Ehis case is one of the most fortunate mis-.
