On Thursday morning an interesting little
boy, some years of age, Willie, the son Of
F. NJ. Wright esq, of the firm Of Brodnax,
Wright & Bradbury, of Petersburg, was quite
badly burnt. He was playing near the CRATE
when his apron eaughe fire aud eommunica-
ted with his other clothing. Fortunately, one
of the older children to whom be ran, had the
presence of mind to throw her own clothing
around him, thus smotheriDg the flame, and
no doubt saving the life of the little sufferer.
The Stauuton indicator says:-Mr. K. w.
Bushnell, who shot himself at the American
Hotel some week, ago, after lingering for
twelve days, died on last Wednesday. His
is one of the most remarkable cases of the
tenacity with which man clings to life, We
have ever heard of.
