Runaway of two horses — a man's Legbroken.

--Yesterday morning about 9 o'clock, as a two-horse wagon, belonging to Mr. William Johnson, which had been sent to the city laden with wood, was standing in front of Mountcastle's stove and tin store, on Broad street, the horses took fright at a passing locomotive and dashed up the street at a furious rate. On reaching the corner of Fourth, a wheel was detached from the wagon by some obstruction, and the driver, a negro, thrown out, and one of his legs broken. The requisite surgical aid was rendered by a physician in the vicinity.
