DRowNED.-Yesterday morning a
bow named James McAlister, son OF
John MoAlister, resident OF North
wheeling, was drowned in the basin.
nJimmy," as he was familiarity called,
had been permitted to remain from
school to assist his mother, and not
more than ten minutes before he was
drowned, had returned from running
an errand for her. He went out of the
house accompanied by younger
brother, and had entered within the
enclosure of the basin. In passing
along the top of the wall he stubbed his
Toe and fell into the water. a man at
work near by, hearing the outcry OF
the younger boy ran to render his as
sistance. When he reached the basin
he was informed of the position of af-
fairs. BY this time quite crowd had
been attracted to the spot, and prepare
tions were made to secure the body.
After q half nour spent in dragging
the basin, it was brought out and the
Coroner sent for. Esquire mcCourtney
summoned jury, when the foregoing
facts were elected. and verdict rem
dered in accordance Herewith.

TERRIRLE.-we learn from a reliable
source of a terrible accident at or near
wurnock's station, on the Central Ohio
Railroad, yesterday morning. early.
w. C. Carmsn, Mail agent on the Bal
umore and Ohio Railroad, hired a team
on Sunday, OF Mr.. r. NJ. Brimmer, ofSt.
ClairsviIIe, o., for the purpose of a
trip lasting two days, through the
country, and, in his travel, stopped at
IA, house near the station to attend to
some business, hitching his team to a
fence close by. This was near IL O'Clock
Sunday night. He went into the house,
leaving his team thus hitched, thinking
them perfectly safe, and went about at
tending to his business, which lasted
early hour in the morning. In the
meantime, the horses getting rather
uneasy, concIu ded they would go home,
and for this purpose they started, but
not being acquainted with the road,
they took down the railroad track, and
in the eudeavor to cross u trestle work
thew both went down through, the ties
holding them fast. Here they remain
ed until near o'clock yesterday morn
ing, when train passing tina: way,
heavily laden, ran into them, tearing
the horses to pieces and smashing the
buggy. 1t is supposed some one un-
fastened the horses and started them
in the direction of the railroad track.
The team WAS a valuable one, and Mr..
Brimmer suffers severe loss.

SCHOOL FuSD.-The trainers of the
Constitution OF our State made wise
provision for the establishment OF a
system of Free Schools. By an act OF
the Legislature OF Virginia all the lit
erary fund Invested within the bounda-
ries of West Virginia, was transferred
to the authorities of the new State, and
by an act of the Legislature Of the last
mentioned State this fund is TO be held
sacred for educational purposes. Not
one cent OF the original amount can be
drawn out,-only the annual interest
can be expended. and that must be de-
voted to the support of our State school
.vs;ep, Certain fines and fOrfeitures
are set apart by law to increase this in
violable fund, and additions OF no in
considerable amount have been al
ready made. On the first of September
last, the sum thus held by the State had
reached one hundred and seventy-two
thousand, twenty-three dollars and
fifteen cents, and might now,
probably, be safely set down at
one hundred and seyenty-fve thou
sand dollars. On the date above mem
toned there were $50, 900 invested in the
First National Bank at FairInont; $780,
900 in the Parkersburg National Bank
$50, 600 in the National Bank of West
Virginia in Wheeling; sls,s0O in the
First National Bank of Wellsburgi
81, 900 in Pacific Railroad bonds guar
anteed by the United States, and ST.
223, is in the State Treasury awaiting in
vestment. We learn that the interest
on the amount invested in the Ma
tional Banks averages about 10 per
cent. per annum. In few years the
literary fund provided by the State fol
school purposes viii make respecta'
BILE showing with that Of other States
aud the judicious expenditure of its
interest, together with the sums raised
by the the county and township au'
thorities, will tell tavorably upon the
educational status of our people.

FAST DRIvINd.-Ws think persons
can enjoy driving AS outdoor exercise
and do 1t in a moderate way, as speed
Is not at all necessary 10 render the en-
Joyment great. Yesterday, two young
persons we'll known tor their deXterity
in handling the lines, darted through
our streets at the speed of a 2-40 racer
on the home stretch, not giving the pass
ers-by time 10 place themselves in
safety, and not considering the many
little ones out pc rambulating; dartinG
over crossings, and in every way repre-
aenting persons who were either intox-
icated or carelessly inclined. Not
many days since a very small child
Etraylng away from its home, was
knocked down by riding horse. 1t
was not badly hurt, however, but the
Instance was enough to learn all that
fast driving is one OF the most danger
Gus reats that can be performed on
streets crowded with either children or
grown persons.
