ing at the Peiiibone tunnel on the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, last winter, went 10 the
Magaxi for powder, with fre.brand TO light
his way. An explosion Of the four kegs Of
powder therein destroyed the shanty, and he
picked himself I'D some $50 feet down the hill,
on which he started. He was but little
bruised. A few weeks after he fell down q
shaft, caught partially by avail, sixty feet
from the surface, and then fell thirty more,
receiving no injury but torn hands and
sprained ankle. Two weeks ago heavy
shower broke away the dam OF the mouth Of
the tunnel, and the water came in food
Part of the men escaped over the embankment
or bottom cut of the tunnel, and others leaped
in the bucket and were drawn up. Our fortu-
nate unfortunate was too late to get in, and he
seized the edge of the bucket with his hands
and was swung up the dizzy height, wbirling
in The darkness. His hands were knocked off
by the bucket striking the rim ofihe shaft, and
his last accident was a fall ofl60 feet upon the
jagged rocks ofthe tunnels bottom, from
which his mangled body was afterwards gath
cred and buried Wheeling Va Gazette.
IMPORTANT SUIT AND DECIsIoN.-An impor-
tant case was tried few weeks since, in the
Circuit Court of Shenandoah county, Va
The Rockingham Register states that about
wear since gentleman, while going down the
Valley, in a Stage coach, belonging to Messrs:
Farish, Hartman & CO., was seriously injured
by the upsetting of the coach. His leg was
dreadfullv broken insomuch that he is made
cripple for life. He brought suit against the
company, claiming damages to the amount
of 10000. The jury in the case rendered
verdict of $4,000 This is the first case OF the
sort that has ever been tried in Virginia, anc
may be regarded as fixing the principle that in
case of carelessness, the proprietors oil stage
coaches are liable for damages in case OF lpJu-
ry to passengers.
Hon, w. A. German, member of the House
of Representatives from Indiana, one OF the
committee TO investigate the causes OF explo-
sion and disasters on the rivers and lakes, was
among the passengers on the Reindeer, and
lust previous to the explosion was standing on
the upper deck, almost directly over the boiler,
conversing upon the subject. While the land
ing was made at Bristol he went out on the
promenade deck, and like the others there,
escaped without injury. Mr.. Johnson, of the
House was also on the boat, and escaped uL-
injured.
Our readers will remember paragraph pub
lished some months ago, in W hich il was stated
that young girl in Louisville, KY, had mar
red an old man named Stafford, and he so fat
he could hardly move without help. 1t APP
pears that he made deed OF gift of six slaves
to the lady, on condition of her marrying him,
but after trial of month or two he became
dissatisfied with the marriage state and ungal>
lantiy drove her off. To insure her rights she
has caused the arrest of the negroes, and had
them committed to Jail.
GYMNAsTIC Observation-Disclosures is to be

God intended all women to be beautiful, as
much so as he did morning glories and roses,
and what He intended they should become,
they would, if they would obey His laws and
cut Incidence and corset strings, and indu
in freedom and fresh air. For girl to expect
to become handsome with the action of her
lungs dependent on the expansion of a cents
worth of tal'e, is as absurd as to look for tulips
in a snow bank, or full grown oak in flower
pot.
