Oil Wednesday evening of last week Mel Laiftre-and"Marry Phillips-, the horse buyer, were riding behind the line carriage team belonging to the former and when in front of Hopkins’ store the horses began to cavort and one of them kicked over the tongue, whereupon the animals became unmanageable, and ran ata fearful rate | about a block, where they ran against some trees in front of Marsh Rhoades’ residence. The carnage was very badly damaged and Mr. Laßue thrown or dragged by the lines 27 feet. He was quite seriously injured and remaining unconscious for an hour, and at first was thought to be killed.

Mr. Phillips jumped out of the carriage at the beginning, and sustained no injury except a sprained ankle. The horses ran two or three blocks further and were ; brought to a stop, by running against ! some trees. They were not seriously "hurt.
