VOV.MI .~J W U..1VI .UI1UIV.IJ III VIT IlCtl. r'C^- l/C On Sunday, evening last; as a waggon belonging to Mr. Hunt, of this c y, carrier, was passing over Wheatley Bridge, which is now under repair, it was met by a coach, on which the waggoner very prudently stopped his team to let the coach pass, but by a smack of the coachman V whip, the wag¬ gon horses suddenly started aside, sprang forward, and there being no parapet wall, the shaft horse fell beside the bridge. The driver, with great pre¬ sence of mind, and at the peril of his own life, in¬ stantly cut the harness, and extricated the horse from the shafts, or the whole team must, have been precipitated into the river, together with the wag¬ gon, in which were three women passengers.. Our readers wi.ll more- readily conceive the dangerous situation and providential escape of the whole, when it is known that the waggon was saved by only half the breadth of a wheel, which, from its roughness, in being newly tired, it is supposed, prevented its slipping, it was two hours before the horse could be got out of the water, and it. is with pleasure ,we add, that.the animal is likely to dp i well.
