and from his cadences l should think
his whiskey troubled him as well as his
water. What is the use of talking of a
luxury which is to cost million dol
lars, to people that hav'nt got the
money? Your correspondent, no doubt,
is rich man-certainly he has a wealth
of Grassland it is quite likely he owns
$500, 900 worth of property in Norfolk;
is big stakeholder in Coles bank; may
be he owns reservoir site, and it is pos
sible he owns the swamp water which
he would have us exchange for the dews
of heaven, which our grandfathers drank
with a relish. For myself, | am much
more interested in the reduction of the
price of whiskey than l am in the in
crease of the supply of water, especial
ly such water as is rendering to us. The
devil wouldn't drink it. Tell your wa
ter spouter to dry up until the dog days
are over, and Oblige MADISON.
The Norfolk post. [volume] (Norfolk, Va.) 1865-1866, 1865-07-01

Charles Dickens had very narrow
escape from death at the catastrophe on
the Southeastern railway, recently. The
carriage in which he was sitting toppled
over the edge of the embankment, and
hung there for awhile, giving him an OPP
portunity to scramble through the win
dow on to the platform, where he found
himself without scratch or bruise, greatly
to his own amazement. When the dead
bodies of the'victims were laid out for
recognition, one over jealous gentleman,
knowing that Mr.. Dickens was in the
train, recognized one corpse as his,
which statement was at first credited.
The novelist was returning to his coun-
try seat from short continental trip
when the accident occurred.
