much worse than frequently happens.

Newcity had narrow escape from wild
animal one morning recently. Another
point OF interest is noted by the despatch
as follows:-"He was driving home from
Collinsville, where he had passed the Sab
bath with his intended. About quarter
OF mile east of a covered bridge, near
Satan's Kingdom, he heard peculiar
noise. As he drew closer to the bridge
the noise grew louder and louder. Just

horse several blows with the whip. With

bridge at break-neck speed. AS the
carriage cleared the bridge an animal,

neck. The animal missed the horse and
landed in ditch. The horse, wild with
fright, ran across the railroad tracks, ana
barely escaped turning the carriage over
while rounding sharp curve in the high
way. 1t continued its wild run through

stopped near the New Hartford House,
