A. Ktngsdown farmor had a bit of bad luck yesterday. He was m town with a horee and light spring cart, and wanting a few things from Messrs Priest and Holdgatc's, he tied up the horse to a tree m their back yard while he went to the shop. The horse had been acougtomod to be tied and left m that way, but this time something startled him. He broke loose and bolted down the yard, getting up a good pace m a very Bhort distance. One wheel ran foul of some ploughs, and the racket must have still further startled the horse, for immediately after ho was trying to pull the cart over a big empty barrel. This turned the vehicle completely over, the horse falling too. He was soon on Mb feet again and, a down grade aggieting, he righted the cart, and went on full tilt along the narrow back yard behind Hallenßtein's clothing factory, and being unable to stop if he would, and probably not thinking of. stopping, bo made a leap at the basement window, and smashing both sashes and shifting the framing, got nearly through and then stuck fast for want of footing. A good deal of damsge was done m the few seconds the journey lasted. The trap will need one new shaft, and splinter-bar, splash-boards, and step, and one of the wheeli was a good deal bruised m carrying away some brickwork oS an outhouse. This and tho broken window, and a plough handl" broken m the yard, was the outside damage. The horse was ecraped a little on the hind legs by Btruggliog on the concrete window opening, but otherwise appeared to have got off lightly. The racket made by tho collision with the ploughs and the capsize, and the greater noise caused by the smashing of. the window, attracted a considerable number of people to tho scene of the accident.
