Zimmerman. A lad about 12 years of age, a son of Mr. Edward Hughes, was riding the animal to water, when being bitten by a dog, she shied and ran. her first noble performance was leaping over a wagon loaded with manure, which she cleared at a bound; then taking up the road to Berryman&#8217;s Mines, she turned, and ran down the railroad to where a bridge crosses Wolf creek; here she paused, gathered her energies, jumped, and passed entirely over, the bridge, which was not planked, making a clear leap of twenty-seven feet by actual measurement. This leap was performed in the presence of several witnesses, and there cannot possibly be any mistake about it.-must have either cleared the bridge, gone through it, or have lighted on a single plank less than a foot wide, and if she had alighted on this plank, the leap would have been twenty-two feet. She touched nowhere, however, covering the whole distance of 27 feet.-Pottsville (Pa.)
