Accidents.

We rarely pick up an exchange that
does not contain an account of one or
more accidents in its immediate neigh
borhood. Human life appears to be
lightly estimated, and, as though the war
was not calculated to push humanity
into the vast unknown with sufficient
rapidity, the most ordinary avocations of
life and pursuits of pleasure seem to con-
spire against poor erring mortals. -
The Lafayette Courier of Thursday
says an old citizen of that place, Thos.
T. Benbridge, ST., was thrown from his
buggy and seriously injured. His right
arm was shattered-quite a large piece
of the bone having been forced out-his
left arm sprained, and other injuries in
nlcted OF less serious cnuraCuer. riHu
suferings of the unfortunate man were
most excruciating.
The same paper of Friday gives an
account of shooting scrape in that city.
A deserter named Balm, who had eluded
the vigilance of his officers for some time
by working in the coal mines, near Dan
VILE, Ills, was visiting Lafayette, whittier
he was followed by officer Fagin. The
latter attempted to arrest Balm, who was
at the American house, in company with
coal dealer by the name of Delaney,
who interfered by drawing revolver.
Fagin drew his revolver and fred several
shots, and in the melee the deserter
escaped Delaney was wounded in the
leg.
A row occurred among some of the
African residents of our State Capital.
on Sunday afternoon. A negro named
Glenn was assaulted by another named
Fletcher with large knife. Glenn was
severely cnt about the head and neck.
His wife, who rushed to his assistance,
received stab in the abdomen, which is
hkeiy to prove fatal Fletcher was pur-
sued as far as the canal, where a scufle
ensued, since which he is nowhere to be

Greencastle, Indiana. On Friday last,
at the close of Butternut drill, an alter
cation ensued between Howard Eckles,
son of Judge Eckles, and Capt. Shelton,
late of the 2lst Indiana, in which the
lie was passed. Shortly afterwards the
parties met again in BARRIERS shop, and
engaged in conversation, during which
Eckles called Shelton a liar, receiving
/ in return back-handed slap in the face
Upon this Eckles drew dagger which
he had concealed under his shawl, and
which he had had his hand upon for
some time, and made three thrusts, two
of which cut the Captains arm slightly,
while the third struck him back of the
heart, and, his physicians think, pene-
trated the left lung
The Captain was about to pursue &c
