| FATAL AccIDENT.--On Thursday last our
community was shocked to learn OF a most
painful accident which had bcfalen Mr.. Ju-
Mus NJ. Baylor, son of Col. Geo. Baylor, Of this
place. Mr. Baylor was residing on farm
about five miles from Staunton, and was en-
gagged during the day attending the Chop
ping Mill upon the place. The wheel,
which was an overshot, was somewhat out of
condition, owing to q leakage 10 some OF the
| buckets, and was occasionally stationary for
considerable length of time. During one
/ of these intervals Mr.. Baylor was engaged IN
greasing q part of the machinery, when the
buckets became full, the wheel started, and
Mr.. Baylor was drawn in by the cogs. His
| lett ankle wa9 crushed, his arm seriously n-
jured, the fleshy part Of the thigh horribly
mashed and the large artery located there
severed. Mr.. b. was in the mill alone at the
time and when discovered could scarcely
speak. Messengers were Immediately dis
patched to Stanton and other places for
physicians, but the loss of blood had been so
great before they reached him, that he lived
but few minutes after their arrival.
| There are some rather remarkable facts con.
npc,ed with the death OF Mr.. Junius NJ Baylor,
which seem 10 us worthy OF notice. His grand
uncle, Col Martin Baylor, was killed IN mill,
! and his uncle, Mr. Andrew J. Baylor, was killed
near the same spot where Junius lost his life,
I by saw log falling upon him. Another curl
Gus coincidence may be mentioned. Junus NJ
BAYLOR was, we understand, named after Junlus
| NJ Fishburn, OF Washington College, who died
on Friday morning They were both born IN
the village of Waynesboro, in this county, pro-
badly associated togetl er in their early youth,
and in death were not very long divided
