One Of the strangcst escapes that we ever
heard of, occurred last week to r. Barnes, a
groom and horse breaker, of Whitehaven. He
had underhis care, horse of fierce and ungov-
ernable temper, and having frequent occasion
to exercise the whip. One day travelling be-
tween Acrewals and Croftcnd, the horse turned
upon Barnes who was leading him, and seized
him with his teeth and threw him on the ground;
seeing him PROSTATE, the animal bent down on
his knees, and believing and grinding his teeth,
showed every disposition to tear him in pieces
Fortunately the groom had stick, and he struck
the animal on the face just as he was about to
seize him. The blow made him retreat, but he
returned to the attack with greater fury than be-
fore; when receiving another, he again retreat
cd, again and again returned, foamiag believing
and grinding his teeth, and still kept on his
knees for the purpose of destroyn, his enemy,
but was often pulsed. Barns now perceived
that his foe was about to change his mode OF at
tack, and to endeavor to trample him with his
feet; he then gave himself up for lost; determin-
ing however, to make last effort to save him
self, he suddenly sprang upon his feet, and
aiming blow with the stick at the jugular vein,
fortunately it hit him there-thc horse. fell, and
he jumped on lis back! He had scarcely done SO
when the animal rose and finding his enemy on
his back he roared with rage, beat the ground
VIII HIS lOOlS, TcarCtl vi HIS HiliV hiShSp,
plunged, and tried every means to dsmount his
rider; finding that impossible, he golloped down a
narrow lane, when hisprogress being stoppedby
a gate, he seized the rail With his teeth and
taking the gate at the same time with his fore
feet, shivcrcd it to pieces. Nothing but the
most complete horsemanship could have saved
the rider, and it was not until, entirely exhausted
by his own efforts, the horses fury had abated,
that he could be- managed with safety.
