A young man who is employed in driving Craig it M tr shall's delivery wagon, w is over in the vicinity of the gas works yesterday, and not lieing acquiiute 1 with the character of the fiats thought it would 1»' an excellent idea to give th* horses and the wagon a washing otf. Accordingly he drove down into the salt water; but had proceeded only a »hort distance from the high water mark when the team l*gan to sink rapidly. He saw immediately that quick sand was "at the bottom <>f the trouble/' and seizing his po< ket knife commenced cutting the horses loose It is doubtful, however, whetner he would have suc ceeded in saving tbe team, hu l it not l»een for Mr. Wehatcr, who came to the rescue just in the nick of time One of tho horse* ha i sunk down into the mire nearly out of sight, and upou cutting them loose from the wagon Mr. Webster gave the less mired animal a vigorous Marling up with his whip, and in his efforts to get ashore he hauled out the other with him.
