Narrow Escape.

--Yesterday afternoon, as the Rev. Mr. Andrews (Roman Catholic) was returning from religious services at St. Patrick's Church, Church Hill, through Broad street, his horse ran away near Bellevue Hospital, and dashed down the hill at a fearful rate. A negro man who boldly attempted to stop the horse, was knocked down and run over by the carriage, but singular to say, not injured. The horse turned down 20th street, towards Franklin, when Mr. Andrews managed to give him a dexterous jerk, throwing him down and stopping him. The vehicle was somewhat broken, and the spectators apprehended a more serious result, but Mr. A. escaped unharmed.
