A Couple of Accidents.

This morning while excavating on the
line Of Railroad near Jackson's in Bristol,
the bank caved in falling on one Of the
wOrkmen, whose name we did not learn,
dislocating his shoulder and breaking his
leg.
Mr.. Furlong, who came to the city for
a physician, had a narrow escape from a
similar or worse accident, as his horse
taking fright ran away in the streets of
the city, throwing him out and breaking
the buggy to pieces. Fortunately he sus-
canned no serious injury.
The Man hurt on Monday. on
the railroad near Jackson's in consequence
of the bank caving upon him was a Nor
wegian. whose name we do not know.
His right leg was broken in two at the
knee. and the flesh cut clear from the
thigh bone several inches and the protru-
ding bone driven into the clay; his left
leg also was broken below the knee. and
his shoulder diSluCated. DrS. Mckinley,
Farr and Parker were soon on the ground
and amputated the right leg, set the bro
ken bone of the left one, and reduced the
diSlocation Of the shoulder.
The man we are told is doing as well
as could be expected under the circum-
stances.

the statement of the Minister who at

hung on charge Of poisoning his wife, by
which it appears that Hendrckson sol
emily asserted his innocence, and died
with the assertion on his lips. The wife
it appears died suddenly, and on post
mortem examination. number of physi-
clans testified that the stomach exhibited
evidence of the presence of anconitc-a
deadly poison. 1t was proved that man
like Hendrickson had purchased anconite
a day or two previously, and on this uni
ted testimony mainly he was hung. On
the other hand, after his sentence num-
Der of physicians testified that what the
other physicians had cited, as evidence OF
the presence of anconite, was not evidence
of it at all, on the contrary was rather
evidence of its absence, as anconite pro-
duced entirely different results. And
/ HendrickSon asserted during his last mo-
mentS that he never heard of such thing
as anconite, either under that or any 9TH
er name. There is no state where the
death penalty is more rigidly enforced
than In New York and none where it is
oftener brought into requisition.

Vegetable Instinct.

If pan of water be placed within six inches
of either side of the stem of Il Young pump
kin or vegetable marrow, it will, in the course
Of the night, approach it, and will be found in
the morning with, one Of its leaves floating on
the water. This experiment may be cortin-
ued nightly until the plant begins to fruit. If
Il prop be placed within six inches of Il Young
convolvulus, or scarlet runner, it will find it,
although the prop may be shifted daily. If,
after it has twncd some distance up the top,
it be unwound, aod twined in the opposite
direction; it will return to its original position,
or die in the attempt; yet, notwithstanding, if
two of these plants grow near each other, and
have no stake around Which they can twinc,
one Of them will alter the direction of its spi-
raj, and they will Irvine round each other.
Duhamcl placed some kidney beans in

cylinder was turned one fourth round, and
again and again this was sepcatcd, until an
entire revolution of the cylinder was cCmplct-
cd. The beans were then taken out of the
earth, and it was found that both the plume
and radiclc had bent TO accommodate thcm-
selves to every revolution, and the one in its
efforts TO- aSccnd pcrpcndicularly, ard the
other to descend, they had formed perfect

CAPTIVE BOYS. Recovered.

The following is a letter written to the St.
Louis Republican, dated 'sFot Washta' Chloe
taw n alton, Chirkasaw District, Saturday,
Feb llth, 1871
read in your paper of the 9th ult., (rc-
ccived here last mail) thrilling and inter-
osting narrative Of tha,captlrc and escape of
Mrs. Jane -idcline Wilson, by the Camanchc
Indians, last sumnor, by whom she and her
two brothcrs-in-law (boys) were taken off
Prisoners.
The facts and the particulars of Mrs. Will
sons capture. and the two boys near the fort.
phantom Ill.," Texas, are corroboratcd. by
the same facts related to me here by the dis
charged soldier alluded to by her in her mar
rativc, thc soldier having passed this way to
Arkansns;) also, in relation to the Mexican
driver being shot and scalpcd, as Mrs. Wilson
relates.
The soldier stated here, on his arrival, that
~ Mas unable to keep up to the wagon with
Mra Wilson, the two boys, and the Mexican
driNl1g, as his horse was worn down; and on
col1nrp up to it, he found the woman ana both
boys gone, the wagon robbed of all it's con-
tents mules gone also, and the Mexican dri-
yer lying near the wagon iHscnsiblc, having
been shot and scalpcd. The soldier carried
him to Il small stream near by, washed his
wounds, and afterwards carried him for sew
cral days on his back. They were destitute
of iootl-thc Indians having stolen all from
the wagon.
They lived for some days on the remains Of
the carcass of L ,tcatt on found by the road
side, using an old razor fort Knife, being the
only instrument the soldier had to cut.
After several days slow travelling, they ar
| rived at 'Phantom Hip post where the sol
dcr left the Mexican, recovering.
Nothing had been heard on this fronticr,of
the two boys alluded to in Mrs. Wilson $ mar
rative, until ten days since, when one about
II years old, calling himself George WASH
ington Wilson, was brought in near here, by
Aaron Brown, an intelligent educated Chick
asaw Indian, who lives near this post. lie
had been out with the Shawnccs for the last
four months, trading for mules with the Ca
manchcs.
They found this white boy, with the Ca
manches, in very destitute condition re-
spccting clothing, having but few rags on his
person.
Aaron Brown, with the characteristic noble
ness Of heart peculiar to his tribe, seeing the
white boy in captivity and badly used, pro-
posed trading some goods for him. \ few
days passed before the trade was concluded.
After giving several hundred dollars worth
Of goods for the boy, the Camanchcs wanted
to draw the bargain, thinking they could cX-
tort more, as they perceived Brown manifest
ed desire to have the lad.
A few days since l heard from Fort Ar
buckle, situated sixty five miles west of this
post, that white boy had been brought in
there by some friendly Indians, who had
bought him from the Camanches lately.
This boy proves to be the other brothcr-in-
law Of Mrs. Wilson, showing that all the cap
tivcs are now safe. Steps will be taken to
restore them to their friends. Very respect
fully. SAMUEL {. IIrMEs, Sutlcr, L. S. A.
