DISTRESSING ACoIDENT.-A most dis
tressing accident occurred on the 11th
inst, at the mouth Of Fulton creek, in
Thompson township, this county. Mr..
SIMON CHARLES, a widower, residing at
that locality, had two daughters, one aged
about eight years, the other seventeen,
who kept house for him. On attempting
to kindle fire on the evening of that day,
in order to facilitate the kindling, the
younger of the girls procured a can of coal
oil and in pouring some Of it on the burn
ing chips a terrific explosion occurred, en-
veIoping her in flames and burning her so
severely that she died soon after. The
elder sister was also so seriously injured
that but little hope is entertained of her
recovery, and the father, in attempting to
relieve his suffering children, was also
seriously burnt on the hands and arms
Accidents from the careless use Of coal oil
are quite frequent, and too great care
cannot be taken by those who handle it,
experience having proved that il is highly
explosive and consequently dangerous.

A Romantic story.

The Atlanta JteNigeaCer says young
and interesting lady passed through that
city on Tuesday, returning to her home IN
Texas. She was led to the altar during
the second year of the war by young and
gallant captain in a Texas regiment, who
left her 10 rejoin his command in Virginia
ere the honeymoon had waned. His ca
reer was an honorable one, and in her far
off home her heart had been made to
swell while his deeds of valor were being
recounted by his comrades. But few leaves
of absence were given in the Army oil
Northern Virginia TO Texans, ana our
captain was not permitted to return to the
rosy bowers where love awaited him. HIS
devotion 10 duty knew no abatement, and
he was found among the faithful few when
the end came. He is known to have sur
rendered with the Texas brigade at Apo
mattoX Courthouse, and to have started
fairly upon the wings OF love to meet the
woman of his choice. Further than this
nothing is known of him. Other hearts
have been made glad bv the return OF ab-
sent ones, but that great agony OF sus-
pense has yet to be lifted from the heart
of the fair Texas bride. Unable any longer
to quietly bear the torture OF doubt ana
uncertainty, she resolved upon mission
of inquiry after the one whose fate still
remains mystery. Her search has been
extended from Texas to Virginia, and no
effort has been spared to discover the
probable cause of his heightened stay ;
and while her search has been frutleSs,
she is ready to wager her future hopes OF
Heaven that if living he is faithful still,
and if dead her name was mingled with
his latest breath. She returns to her home
in Texas with mountain weight of sorrow
pressing heavily upon her fair young brow.
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1866-06-14

MISUNDERSTANDING the improve
ments in the city, we occasionally meet
with case of the alteration and extension
of an old edifice, by which it is accommo-
dated TO the taste and enterprise OF the
age. Among these is the Improvement OF
the store of Levy Brother, formerly
Jacob 4. Levy. II is now spacious, light,
and airy. Speaking of Levy, brings to the
recollection that Israelite 4" in whom there
is no guile" Abraham Levy, the grand
father of the young men who are now sue
cessors to their father, who is still hale
and cheerful man, and the truest of south
erners. The grandfather died years ago.
No man was better known in the city, and
everybody respected old Mr.. Levy. He
was the kindeSt of men, and gave with a
liberal hand to the poor and needy. In
his business, in his early days, there were
none more enterpriSing. He was remarka-
BILE for his quickness and accuracy in esti-
mating the value of goods by the shelf, and
was fond of purchasing in that manner.
He was notable man. When Henry Clay
came to Richmond and made his great
speech in Browns warehouse, he met Mr..
Levy, and knew him, although he had not
seen him since when boy) he left Rich
mond. He Immediately took the old man
by the hand and shook it cordially, telling
him that he was Henry Clay, and that he
had driven his wood-cart frequently to Mr..
Levy's door, there to sell to him or await
customer. The incident pleased the old
gentleman nightly, and he referred TO il
with pleasure to the day Of his death.
