 The borough was much excited last Friday morning oyer report that Rob- bins Patten, one of 9ur most prominent eftizens, had been fatally injured and his horse killed by the 8. m. passenger train south, at the Holland Avenue crossing. The rumor happily proved to be an ex- aggeration, but MT. P.'s escape from death was frightfully narrow one. He was just driving upon the track, when he saw the train close upon him. He had nearly backed his horse out of danger, when the locomotive struck him, the shock piline wagon, horse and driver close beside the track. MT. Patten was stunned by the fall upon the frozen ground, and the horse was also stunned by the blow of the en. zine. most fortunately, as the least strug. gle of the animal must have crowded Mr. Patten under the car wheels. Those whe hastened to assist found MT. Ratten GOV cred with blood, and supposed him to be killed. The blood, however, came from : the horse, and Mir. Patten being taken ur and conveyed home had his wounds dress.
