Speaking of the recent fatal accident that oc-
Cured on the Camden Branch Of the South Caro-
lima Rail Road, the Darlington Flag says that
the Conductor, Mr.. Scanln, received severe.sin-
ternal injuries, but refused assistance from those
profenng it, telling them to let him alone and
attend to the passengers. Mr.. Sloan, an officer
on the cars, was severely injured. So sooniashe
recovered from the stunning effects Of the fall,
with his face all bleeding, returned nanfuIly to
his duty and his assistance was of great benefit
to the wounded, and afterwards to the passengers.
Several ether persons connected with the Rail
Road, rendered material assistance to the suf-
fereis. .1.-.s-,--se
A gentleman, by the name of Fallen, OBJ
served, with great presence of mind, Immediately
after the accident occurred, giving all necessary
directions for receiving the dead and wounded
from the wreck of the broken cars, and nobly
working himself for the preservation Of the lives
and property of Others.
A most thrilling scene occurred Immediately
after the breakdown; chill's voice was heard
falling from the bottom Of the cars, which had
fallen in, Pa! Pa! 1t was covered UP with bro
ken plank and the trunks of go or 20 passengers.
1t was the child Of the Rev. Mr.. Pringle,3 an
Episcopal clergyman, who, in great agony, was
wringing his hands, exclaiming 'my poor baby r!N
and supplicating the Almighty to save. his child
and his supplieations were heard, for, after q
half hours hard work, his baby was miraculous
ly saved with scarcely scratch upon it, Mr.
Muldrow, who was also in the same car, escaped
unininred, and Mr.. Henry B. DcLorne onlyihad
his leg little bruised.

When health slowly returns, when the eye

How to Make Manure.

immediately after planting in the spring
and after | have used the manure / want, |

season. Into a convenient place, which is a
hollow in the angle of the bank wall, IN the
South end Of my buildings, l deposit first a
load Of horse manure. Over this [ usually
spread the scrapings Of my wood and cellar,
especially in May, and all other substances
that will make manure, that [ find about my
buildings, such as the rakings of the yard,
old leaves, &c, making in all another small
load, then over the whole spread about a
bushel Of ashes. For the next three or four
weeks this heap receives from the washroom,
: all the soap-suds and washing water, and
from the house, all the useless slops and
washing Of the kitchen, sweepings, &c, be
ing kept continually moist. In about -four
weeks after the first deposit, | add another
load of horse manure more loan and SAND
from the washing Of road drains spread Owe
the horse manure, and over all a layer o

the next four weeks. This heap for the sue
