Capt. Wm. Brown, of the schooner RUGGLES, left Grand River, C. W., yesterday, for Buffalo, with a hired horse. He was accompanied by a young man who was to drive the horse back, after arriving at the "feeder," where Capt. Brown intended to take the cars and come on to this city. During the journey, the horse took fright, and plunging into the river, was drowned. The occupants of the carriage escaped.
