An Extraordinary Case.

A negro man employed on the South Side
Railroad, met with d cadful accident q
short distance below Farmvile, on Tuesday
Of last week. He was employed, says the
Journal, with number of other workmeu,
cutting away an embankmcnt. when the
eeeniug train approached, causing them u
stop until passed by. In the meantime the
negro alluded to, stood re-ung upon the han
die Of bis pick, when the jar Of the passing
train caused the earth INFO which they had
been cutting to give way and tumble down,
burying him underneath it, and throwing
bis body with such force upon the handle Of
the pick as to impale him. II catered near
his stomach, and piercing through, emerged
from his back. Oae would naturally sup
pose tn,t such wound with such an it,
strumsnt would produce immediate death,
vel, strange to say, the negro was alive day
or two since, aud bis chances for recovery
are by no means altogether hopeless.
