TERRIBLE AND FATAL ACcIDENT.-On
Saturday evening, at ten minutes to six
o'clock, George Fornoff, workman ON the
new Idiotic Asylum building, on Sullivant's
hill, in Franklinton, was laying the cap
stones on the wall; he happened to step on
one newly laid, when it slipped out from
under him, taking two or three courses of
the wall, precipitating him to the ground,
distance of perhaps sixty feet. He was
SO severely bruised internally that he lived
but about twenty minutes after the acci-
dent. In his descent he passed the falling
stones and bricks, and as he struck the
ground the rubbish fell on him causing his
death. He was young man, % years of
age, universally Lowell and respected, and
his death casts gloom over the communi
ty. His remains were followed to their
last resting place in Greenlawn Cemetery
on yesterday, by the largest concourse ol
of people we remember to ever have seen
in Columbus, friends of his and of his bro
ther Fred. Fornoff, Esq. An affecting
funeral discourse was preached on the oc-
casion by Rev. Haddeus, of the Mound
Street German Lutheran Church.

colored people. In all cases where resort
thereto shall be. shown, the fact Will be
taken into consideration as the aggravatine
offence.

A LETTER FROM AN OLD TRAVELLER
Messrs. Prince, Walton & Co., Gentlemen:
As you are aware, have been engaged up
to short time past as travelling agent for
J. G. Aver 6 Co.
Twas taken very sick with a bilious at
tack while travelling in the State, of Indi-
ana I had taken Ayers pills before for
the same difficulty, but with no good
effect. A travelling friend who happened
to be stopping at the same hotel, recon-
mended me to try some Roback Pills. L
confess frankly that had no confidence in
them at the time, but through the impor-
tunities Of my friend 1 was persuaded to
take them; and with astonishing effect
they entirely removed the bile, and opera
ted on the liver so effectually that in a day
I was as well as usual.
unhesitatingly recommend them to be
the best pillsi in the market.
You are at liberty to publish this, as 1
deem it duty owe to the public to give
my (unsolicited) testimony in their favoa.
