On Tuesday evening last the team of Mr. Greenfield, consisting of four horses, attached to a large tin-pedlar's wagon, started from the rail road depot, and after making several successful turnings on the opposite side of the river, crossed over, and passed up main-street at full speed, without driver. Turning the street at the drug store of Dr. Earle & Co., and the sharp corner at the Episcopal church they brought up at the residence of Mr. Sherman—all in good order, having ran the distance of a mile and a quarter, over several difficult places, without injury to wagon, harness or horses. It was a most wonderful escape—yet it may be attributed to the great control which our friend Sandy has over his horses. Finding himself unable to catch up with the team without putting them to the trouble of stopping he ordered them to keep the road—and, they followed his directions!
