ginia Central Railroad Company, for DANA
ges sustained by him, some months ago, in
permitting the ears to run off the track, by
which he had a leg broken and received o.
Their injury, came up for trial last week and
excited much interest. The trial Of tAe ease
lasted several days, and was ably and in-
geniously argued by Col. Baldwin and Mes
SIS Imboden & MeCue, for the plaintiff,
and i. j. Niche and A. H. II. Stuart, for
the defendant, We are not sufficiently ac-
quainted with the case to give The points
raised by counsel, or the grounds upon
which the defence was rested, other than
the charge of negligence against the Com
pany, which caused the accident, and the
effort of DEFENDANTS counsel to place that
responsibility on others. The accident hap
pened By SOME obstruction which had been
put on the road by workmen, and for which,
it seems the Company was responsible. The
jury, after a short absence, rendered YER
dict for the plaintiff for $4,000

SAD AoeIOrNr.-We regret to learn from
TIE Spectator, that distressing aud fatal
accident happened near New Hope on Mon
day last. Theodore Y Roberts, son Of
DR.. VIM. II. Roberts, a youth of IL years
of age, left home, driving a two-horse wag-
on, in company with onoof his brothers and
his uncle, Mr.. Gentry, After proceeding
short distance, the horses became fright
ened, and being unable to stop them, they
proceeded with frightful speed down long
and dangerous hill, at the foot of which the
horse he was riding fell, throwing him to
the ground, and producing violent concus-
sion of the brain. He fingered insensible,
for about three hours, when death relieved
him his suffering.
