Acc1DENT.-As Thelsey simms was ont
shooting birds Saturday evening his gun
exploded, btrning his face badly, and
making his escape from serious injury,
if not death, quite remarkable. Thirty
five pieces Of the gun hare been found,
and some parts are still missing. The bar
rel was thrown by his head back over his
shoulder, o distance Of twenty feet, thus
making his escape narrow one. He was
not seriously hurt, though his face is badly
burned by the explosion. -Culpeper Oh

dUDGE JoHNsroN.-Mr. John W. John
ston, Of Abingdon, is il every way worthy
Of the position: There are many who will
regret the necessity which precludes Judge
Campbell. who has given the highest salts
faction and secured the confidence of all
our people as an able and upright jurist.
There are none who will not rejoice, that the
vacancy has been filled by Mr.. Johnston
(who does not have to take the test-oath) .
We doubt whether more satisfactory Sc
lection could be made in the State. Being
gentleman Of exalted worth and q, lawyer
of ability and experience, he will honor
any position which may be given him.
