Horse Lost.—On Tuesday, Mr. Joseph Knox and Miss Elizabeth Ogden, of Pittsburgh, were ascending the hill at Negley's Run in a buggy, when the horse took fright, became unmanageable and jumped over the precipice, which is about 75 feet deep. Fortunately the lady was thrown upon some laurel bushes, and was thus saved from a severe fall. Mr. Knox was not much hurt. The buggy was thrown into a thousand fragments, and strange to say, the horse has not been heard of since.
