A few days since, a young lady, a daughter of one of our best citizens, came very near meeting with a most serious occurrence. She was seated in a buggy when a horse, attached, became frightened near the depot and started off at a break neck speed. Mr. Tom JOYNER, on the instant, sprang forward and seizing the lady, lifted her from her perilous seat, or perhaps we should have been forced to chronicle a sad misfortune, indeed. The horse dashed furiously forward, capsized the buggy and smashed it up generally.
