Whilo ou tho portion of road which parallels the railroad just west of Sinnemahoning, he was ov ertaken by mail east. Tho doctor's horse is a spirited animal; feariug that it could not bo controlled by the ribbons, be and the driver alight ed and held it by the bridle. All would have been well if the engine had not just then whistled for tho road crossing. This bo frightened the animal that it could no longer bo controlled and it dashed away at lightning speed, dragging the mon with it. The driver was first thrown, then the doctor. Tho former es caped injury, but the later was struck on the shoulder by tho shaft, which knocked him down and the rig pass ed over him, badly bruising his back aud leg, from the effects of which he is still lame. The horse sheered off the road into a swamp, where it was found with its head wedged in the fork of a tree almost strangled to death. Strange to say, neither tho horse or rig sustained much damage.
