Zecher. at Lancester. Mr. Zecher and some of hto men ran to the stable to ascertain what was the matter, and were no Utile astonished to find one of the horses belonging to the Adams Express . Company; lying down with one of hto hind feet wedged in hto mouth. It required the united strength of several men, using levers, to pry the horse’s mouth wide enough open to get its foot out, and before they succeeded two of the horse’s teeth were knock out. The poor brute would soon have strangled to death had benot been promptly relieved, and it was nearly half an hour after he was relieved before he could rise to hto feet It is supposed that the horse threw hto foot forward in striking at the flies, and at the same dime threw hto head backwards, biting at them, thus opening hto mouth and “putting his foot in it” The entire hoof was ta the horse’s mouth, the teeth being sunk into the flesh above the hoof almost if not altogether to the bone. The teeth that was loosened by the accident were replaced and driven back into their sockets, but whether they will stay there is not known. The horse was a valuable one, recently purchased by the express company for 825°. _ ‘ '
