He was coming down by the Swift dis trict, when the neck-yoke broke, and his driver, Mir Fully, told him to jump; he being blind could not select his ground to light on, but he jumped and struck on his back, without sustaining serious injuries. The horses ran about | four miles and completely demolished the wagon. Mir Fully and the horses were not much harmed, but he does not wish to try it again.
 One of our young men who never did take kindly to water, went to Goshen to fish, and try the '' New England wine, they put up over there; not having the faith of Peter, nor the nautical skill re- quired to be first-class disciple of Isaac Walton, he fell out of the boat and started on voyage of discovery among the submarine wonders, head first.
