Mrs Preece, .thinking that a serious accident, might.- occur, jumped and in thY fall ; sustained a sprained ankle. Mr Preeeekepf. his seat and hikngtp the -reins, , and .luckily escaped .unhurt. The wonder, is^.th'at s the gig waV not capsized iind precipitated ,va.to the river, asj the * bank is very steep, . The weaiher has again set in very cold, r ; a .
