Accident from Coal Oil.

Several days since, tsays the Shenandoah
JaVey1 near Grove HILL Page Co., Va, Mrs.
Andrew Kite, IN attempting to fill coal oil
lamp with oil, met With an accident, which
adds another item to the list Of warnings IN the
use of this fluid. The lamp, it appears, was
lit up in the evening with but little oil in it,
which soon became exhausted and it was
thought that the flame was extinguished. An
attempt was made to pour oil into the lamp
from can. which took fire from the wick, re-
sulting in an explosion of the can. One or
two of her children were severely burned,
though it is hoped not dangerously.

Funny Incident of the Late War.

In the autumn of 1861, late in November,
Gen. Floyd. with bis army, occupied one por-
ton of Sewal mountain, and Gen. Rosecrans
occupied about threo-quarters ola mile away,
another portion Of it, While these two armies
were eacampcd, a cold rain fell one day, and
the night coming on" the cold was so intcnsi-
fed that forty horses were frozen to DEATH
The night succeeding was also cold, and very
clear and the ground was frozen hard, couple
of teams near the two camps stampeded and
down the mountain they went makings ire
meudous noise. Each army thought the other
was coming and the tents were struck and bag
gage loaded in the greatest haste Rcsecrans
burning eight wagons loaded with supplies, for
he bad no team TO draw them and Gen. Floyd
started one way down the mountain and
Gen. Rosecrans the other, and when morning
light revealed the true condition of things, the
two armies were fifteen miles apart

For the U. S. Senate.

In an article upon the present interesting
question as to who shall be Senators from
Virginia. the Winchester Times says:
"From the Valley we know Of 10 one, who
can take the teSt-Oath who would fill one of
the seats in the Senate with more credit and
ability than Judge EENUND PENDLEToN, the
popular and efficient Judge Of the Winchester
Circuit. lie is man Of fine attainments,
strict integrity and exalted character, who
would support President Grant when he was
right and oppose him when he was wrong.
Congress could raise no objection to his adj
mission. We, therefore, take the liberty of
bringing his name to the attention of the Le-
gisIature, without his knowledge, and with the
full assurance % those who have no personal
acquaintance with him. that in electing him
the Legislature would reflect credit upon itself
and honor upon the State. Without meaning
% detract from the merits Of the eligible gen.
tlemen whose names have been mentioned in
connection with the position. and possibly
from ignorance Of their qualifications, we in-
cline to the opinion that Judge PENDLEToN
ranks higher in point Of ability than any Of
them
Upon the same subject the Clarke Courier
says:
" As the probabilities are that the Legisla-
ture will 90 into the election Of Senators, we
propose the names Of Judge Edmund Pendle-
ton Of Winchester, and Hon. John S. Nilsson
Of Norfolk as suitable candidates for the office
