CASE or LUNAoY.--Judge Boyd, Of the
County Court, yesterday summoned jury to
inquire oDcerning the sanity Of man named
Allen Wilmington, resident of Campbell
County. After hearing of the evidence the
jury unanimously pronounced him insane,
and the necessary steps were taken to procure
his admission into the Lunatic Asylum of the
State. From tho evidence presented it ep-
pears no had directed his whole attention to
religious study for considerable time. His
mind not possessing proper balance, first
experienced temporary, and then, 1t is feared,
an incurable alteration.
TRANSFERS MEETING Tho teamsters and
draymen Of our city contemplate holding q
meeting at an early day, to protest against any
action Of the council having in view the i'm
provement Of the streets Of the city. As an
ordinary horse at the present time can not
haul more than fifty pounds, the number of
trips IL greatly increased, and of course the
profits Of the tesmsters are much greater.
Were the streets in good condition more than
two-thirds of the draymen would be thrown
out Of employment, and it is against this that
they purpose entering their protest.
SUGGESTION TO PROPERTY HOLDERS ON EAST
Row.sTREET.-We think the property holders
on tho west side Of East-row, south Of Jeffer-
son. street, who have mot planked their side
walks, ought to do so without further delay.
Pedestrians who are compelled TO pass that
thoroughfare find great difficulty in wadipg
through the mire and mud, which abounds to
great e1tent in that particular locality.
APPLICATION FOR PATENT.-Messrs. Cook
& Horsefal of this city have made application
for patent for an improvement in weaving
looms. Of it's precise nature, however, We
unable to speak, but We understand that 1t is
an important one.
ARTILLERY sALUrE.-The Washington Ar
tillery, under the superintendent Of Captain
Collins, saluted the Legislatures yesterday,
with number of discharges from their new
brass cannons.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO AN OLD CITIzEN.-Mr
John Waggoner, for long time a citizen Of
this city, but now resident of Avondale, met
with quite serious accident yesterday after
noon, on Sixth street, between Vine and Wal
nut. He was, We believe, repairing his build
ing, located in the vicinity we have named,
and in the act Of adjusting window blind,
when he fell and broke his thigh. Mr.. W. is
nearly sixty years Of age, and this fact renders
the accident much more unfortunate than it
would probably have been under other cir
cumstances. He was removed to his residence
after his medical wants had been attended to,
but his injuries will confne him to his bed for
q long time, even if he should eventually
fully recover. .-' -4

FATAL AccIpENT-A LAD KILLED BY THE
ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE OF A PIsroL.-A boy
about ffteen years Of age, named James Ring,
in tho employ Of butcher named Joseph
Lawrence, was killed yesterday forenoon,
at the Sixth street market, by the ac.
cidental discharge of q pistol. He was
preparing to leave tho market house for the
purpose Of going home, and in removing the
tools and unsold meats from the stall to the
wagon he took up coat belonging to Mr.. L.,
one Of the pockets of which contained loaded
pistol that fell upon tho pavement and went
of, the ball entering the left groin of the lad,
and iDjuripg him SO seriously that he died In
about an hour afterward.
Mr.. Lawrence was arrested at the time and
committaAt to the Station house, but for what
cause nOs9ne seemed to know. Coroner Cary
was called upon to hold an inquest upon the
body, which resulted in verdict Of accidental
death, whereupon Mr.. L. was discharged,
after having remained in custody but few
hours. The parents Of the deceased, We be.
lieve, reside in that portion Of the city known
as Sixth-street Hill, but he lived IN the family
of Mr.. Lawrence, who regrets the affair very
much, and has generously proposed, and in
tends to defrsy the funeral expenses.
