SAD AccDENT.-On Friday evening last, Mr.
Jos. Winfield, in experimenting the digging of
a well for Mr.. Geo. A. Smith, of this place, went
down Immediately after blast, and in attempt
ing to light match, discovered foulair and call
ed to be drawn up quickly, which was done and
when near the top of the well he seemed to faint,
and, letting go his hold on the rope, fell to the
bottom, severely bruising himself in the fall. He
survived the fall but few hours. He was raised
near North Garden, Albemarle, and was highly
esteemed by all who knew him. His remains
were taken to Albemarle on Sunday morning, by
committee of the Odd Fellows Lodge, of which
he was member for burial.
On Thursday the 18th inst, two colored men,
Sam Finley and Walker Wits, lost their lives ip
well they were digging for Mr.. J. Milton Brooks,
near Greenville. Sam Finley was lowered into the
well and when he reached the ladder, which was
about half way up, he called out alright" and
the rope was drawn up. Shortly after, he was
heard to fall, when Walker Wits went down to
his assistance, and died from the effects of foul
air.
A third colored man was lowered, more care
fully, and finding foul air called to those outside
to hoist him quickly, which was done, but he
was in an insensible condition when taken out.
Mr.. NJ. G. Hopeweil formerly of this place,
but since the war, resident of Chillicothe Ohio
now on visit to his friends in Virginia. called at
our sanctum q few days since, and we were pleas
ed to see him looking so well and to learn that
he had recovered from the severe wound received
that he and the other Virginians Chilicothe are
prospecting.
Through Mr.. Hopewell we learned of the nomi-
nation of VIM. A. Wayland native Of Waynes-
boro, in this county, for County Treasurer, by the
Democrats of Ross county, Ohio. We have known
VIM. Adam from boyhood, having passsd our
youthful days together, and are not surprised to
learn that his sterling qualities and unfinching
integrity have marked him as the proper man for
the position for which he has been nominated. A
Democratic nomination in Ross county isequiv.
alent to an election and we, in advance, tender
him oar congratulations and those of his many
friends in this county.

Gil. I must 20 alone; Ihavc something
to say
She wcntlnto the edrawing-room, straight
up to where her husband sat llstlessly In
his chair Mt the window. He started
when he saw her, and said something
hurridly about ringing for lights, but she
stopped him.
1T will be better thus, fot what have
to say. Hugh, have come to ask your
forgiveness
Sir Hugh did not answer. Tho speech
took him by surprise, and she had never
called him Hugh before, since their mar
riage. He had time enough to tell him
self that 1t was only another mockery,
and would end In tho old way.
But standing there with Franks letter
In her hand, she told him all, not sparing
herself, and then asked II he could ever
forgive her. She was not prepared for
the great love which answered her; which
had lived unchanged through all her cold
ness and repulscs; and which drew her
to him closer now than 1t might have
Gone, II her pride had never suffered un.
der these years OF wretchedness.
Cecil never knew exactly what had hap
pencd: bat when her father put his arm
round her and called her his blessing, she
looked up at him with an odd sort of con-
sclousncss. that In some way or other, the
old valentine found In her rummagc
amongst his papers, had to do with the
change she saw. And It was her doing.
So she made up her wilful mind straight
way to exult and triumph over the fact to
poor CHARLIE; and then, II he wanted to
send her another next year-why, after q
proper amount of teasing and suspense,
which was good for him and kept him In
order, she would perhaps say that he
might.

he mixed with the soil three feet deep
This was done by degrees, and as fast as
the ground was prepared he planted fruit

Make The Horses Work.

Horses were designed as beasts Of bur
den, to relieve mankind from fatlgulnl
drudgery. 1t does not hurt them to work
hard, II they are treated kindly. 1t Is no,
the hard drawing and ponderous loads
that wear out horses, and make theff
poor, balky and worthless; but il Is tn,
hard driving, the worry by rough and In
human drivers, that uses up more hors,
flesh, fat and muscle than all the labor .
team performs.
Consider the ponderous loads thai
many teams are required to cart ever,
day, anu several times aday, and yet they
appear to grow fatter and stronger ever,
year. They are treated kindly. On In,
other hand, other horses, that do not per
form half the labor, soon grow poor, ant
give out, and the next we hear of then
they die with the harness on. Hard work
does not Kill them; hut the worrying
frettln and abuse did the job.
Horses will do all the moving and reap
Ing on n large farm, thrash the gram

Like founding In slumber, the summer dayi laJ
On the crmsoning threshold of even,
And I thought that the glow through the azure
arched way
Was glimpse of the coming OF Heaven.
There together we sat by the beautiful streA m;
We had nothing to do but TO love and to dream,
In the days that have gone on before.
These arc not the same days, though they bear IN,
same name,
With the ones shall welcome no more.
But II may be that angels are calling them o'cr,
For Sabbath and summer forever,
when the years shall forget the Dccembcrsl the
wore,
And the shroud shall be woven, no ncvcri
In twilight like that, Jennie June for bride,
Oh I what more Of the world could one wish 70
beside,
As we gazed on the river unrolld,
Till we heard, or we fancied lts musical tide,
When II bowed through the gateway OF gold..
'.Jennic June" then said, "let us lngcr NOR
On the banks of the beautiful river;
Let the boat be unmoored, and be muiIled ih'
oar,
And wen steal into Heaven together.
IL the angel on duty our coming deserted,
You have nothing to do but 10 throw or the dis
guise
That you wore while You wandered with me,
And the sentry shall say welcome back to the
skies,
We long have been waiting for thee.'"
oh how sweetly she spoke, ere she uttered q
word,
With that blush, partly hers, partly even's,
And the tone, like the dream Of song wei once
heard,
And she whispered "That way Is not Heavens,
For the river that runs by the realms OF the blcst
IIsc no song On lts ripple, no star on its breast,
.8hi hat river Is nothing like this,
For 1t glidcs on In shadow, beyond the worlds
west,
Till II breaks into beauty and bliss"
I am lingering yet, but linger alone.
ON the banks Of the beautiful river;
'Tis the twin ofthat day, but tho wave where II

the doll-babics to their hearts content
and don't tell them ''Tom Thumb" and
"Red Riding Hood" are fiction, but leave
them alone ill they find II out, which they
will all too soon. Answer all the funny
