took fright, throwing them both out oi
the carriage. Miss Dickinson had leg
broken and thigh dislocated, and Mr
Warner had three ribs broken.
ANoTHER-Last Friday nighta young
man by the name of Girles, while coon
hunting on Lens creek, met with a
serious accident. 1t occurred in this
wise: The dogs having "treed the
coon," Girles concluded to stay and
watch him. The night being cool, he
commenced building fire, and went to
a dead sapling near by to break off some
of the dry limbs for fuel. While en-.
deavoring to break of one of the
limbs, the whole tree-top suddenly
snapped off, striking him on the head,
and fracturing his skull.

BOATS SUNK.-Of the coal and salt
boats started out on the late rise, two
were unfortunately sunk just below
here. One coal boat lies in the chute
Just below the mouth of Elk river,
while the salt boat sunk about two
miles farther down. The most of the
coal will be saved; but of the salt, only
about two hundred barrels escaped de-
struction. Three other coal boats were
sunk during the present year, on which
the loss was about $1,000 apiece. We
believe they all belong to tho Kanawha
and Ohio Cna1 Cnmnany
RE-CoMMENCED OPERATIoNs.-The
Kanawha and Ohio Coal Works, at
Coalburgh, commenced operations again
on Monday last. They have eighteen
barges of coal-16O,OOO bushels-ready
for shipment, having shipped about
65, 900 bushels last week.
The Campbell's Creek Works have
commenced shipping, having sent out
about $4,000 bushels, and having as
much moro ready. This coal will bring
good price in the Cincinnati and Lou
isville markets, coal being scarce below.
The Cannelton Company expect to
start again by the 18th instant.

LAND SALE.-The great sales of land
on the Kanawha river, within the limits
of this county, deserve the attention
of capitalists. The Conrad farm, of
900 acres, was recently sold to Mr.. Cos
horn, of Kanawha county, for 81, 200;
the Lewis farm of 440 acres, was sold to
Goshorn & Couch for s1l 900, and Mr..
c. Z. Jones, we understand, has bought
back his farm of 600 acres, giving $685.
900 for it. 1t is to be hoped the pur-
chasers of these lands will improve
them, and start the agricultural inter
ests of their neighborhoOds upon good
basis. They have been unimproved un.
til within few years past, and we now
hope the Kanawha river farmers will 20
ahead and develop their fine section of
agricultural country.
From the ShepardstowD Registerl
ARREsTED.-We learn that a man by
the name of Thomas Larkins waylaid
and assaulted q man named Kelley, at
Ferry, OH Saturday night last.
Lsrkins was arrested aud brought to
this place, where he was lodged in Jail
to await trial. 1t is reported that Kel-
ley's injuries will prove fatal. There
are conflicting rumors in circulation
about this affair, but we refrain from
them, preferring to wait
until We are in possession of the facts.
Larkins is resident of Martinsburg.
ANOTHER WILD CAT KILLED.-Mr.
Jacob Molsr, during q coon hunt on
night last, says the Spirit,
- rreed" a wild cat near the railroad at
Flowing Spring, which upon shooting
and measuring was found fully equal in
size to the one noticed in our last issue.
1t is supposed to have been the mate of
that one, but the query is "where did
they come from !" as the genus is not
indigenous to our locality, unless his
character has undergone change with
the introduction of Radicalism.

A DEER Run Down BY A HORSE
On the Sd instant q deer was seen in the
of Elizabeth, in Writ county,
w. Va. Information came to DR.. S.
Polivar, who mounted his horse and
went in pursuit. He discovered him
coming through corn-field to the river
bank, and, giving chase, ran so close to
him that his horses feet struck the ami
NAL, who was disposed to fight. HAY
ing no fire arms with him, the Doctor
was obliged 10 60 some distance to the
house of George Rochhold, where he
procured an old musket, and getting
into barge brought down his game.
This buck is the first of the season, and
came no doubt to reconnoiter the i'm
provements of this growing town. He
was very fat, weighed 169 pounds and
had four prongs, which indicates the
age of five years. This feat is certainly
worty of record.
On last Tuesday the Doctor came near
securing another buck in the vicinity
of fuckers bridge, o quarter of mile
from the town of Elizabeth. His buck
ship was, however, more successful
in accommodating, and got safely off, at
ter taking lock at the marks of pro-
gress so plainly visible at this interest
ing outpost village.

GoREp BY A Cow.-Mrs. Shilling,
wishing to 60 down town on last Thurs
day evening, was suddenly attacked by
a vicious cow and horned to the ground,
and as the cow was standing near her
shaking her horns and head menacingly
at the down-stricken lady, the best that
could be done was to lay still and wait
for any possible relief. At last the COW,
tired of waiting, left the unfortunate
lady, who availing herself instantly of
the disappearance of her mortal enemy,
got up and hurried into neighbours
house, and from there home. DR.. Scott
