EnOs Adams deposited S4400 in bonds as

was called upon to pay his note. which he
did, and sued the corporation for his bonds
which were stolen. Much scandal has
been atloat about the authors of this bur-

1t to have been the work of Il famous New

The case of Hill cerSuS Brooks, which
has been on trial at this place the present
week. has been one of such interest that
we deem something more than the brief
statement under the court record war
ranted. As appeared by evidence, Mrs.
cyrus Hill of Waterford fell on the ice in
March sc, receiving severe injury. \
surgeon DIR. Brooks of this place. was at
once called. and on examination. pro-
nounced the injury an impactcd fracture
of the neck of the thigh bone. He in
formed Mr.. and Mrs. Hill of the serious
nature OF the injury. at the same time cX-
prc>siu" the belief that with patience and
care Il toierable recovery might be hoped
for. After usin" the common appliances
in such cases, the patient was lett as COM
Portable as could be expected. and visited
frequently until the thirty-third day after
the accident. when. by previous arrange
mcnt. DIR. Newell accompanied the attend
n@ surgeon, and they together removed
the >plint and bandagcs, and the state of
health OF the patient was such that they

then with 4 cane until January. since
which time she has been able to walk
without aid, although considerably lame.
The testimony did not show that there was
dissatisfaction with the surgeon or the
mode OF treatment until May 1867, when
Mr.. Hill said that the recovery was not
satisfactory. and soon afterwards com
mcnced this suit. On the trial the plain
titf attempted to prove that the injury was
net at the place located by the attending
surgeon, and that the treatment was not
rlGht in any case. surgeons Crosby OF
Dartmouth college. and Newell and
Brow ne Of this place. were put upon the
stand, and after Il careful examination of
the injured limb. corrnboratcd the diaguO-
sis OF DIR. Brooks and sanctioned his
treatment OF the ease. Able counsel ap-
pcarcd OH both sides. and after patient
hcarin" of the case. lasting more than TWO
days, and Il clear and able charge by
Judge Steele, the jury returned verdict

HOUSE BURNED.-The residence of
Mr.. L. J. Williams, six miles from Buck
wheat, was burned to the ground few
days ago. Accident. No insurance.
We understand that a young man liv-
ing in this place was relieved, a few
nights ago, by some persons to him IN
known, Of few dollars in money and
several hundred dollars in notes, re,
oeipts, etc. 1t might be added that at
the time he was not in condition to tell
the difference between the Court House
and dog kennel.
LARGE YIELD.-In April last, Mr.. Abe
Williams, of this place, planted one
pound of the early Goodrich" potatoes,
the result of which, dug the other day,
was forty tlro pounds. At the same time
he planted half pound Of the Early
Rose" seed, from which the yield was
t,rtaty fire pounds. Rather hard to beat.
Milton Frame, one of the "Board Of
Registration" for Braxton county, says
the object of the registration Law Is ito
give the majority of the votes to our
the radicaD party" And Milton is an
ass -pirant for Legislative honors; but
as Elias and Craven are opposed, we in
fer that the immaculate Frame will
have to remain in Braxtou, faithfully
filling his destiny as a manipulator Of
the franchise,
Mr.. MIN Hyer, one of the Registrars
of BraXtoa county, says he has been

Others milked" about long enough. He
now wants to run for the Legislature,
but as Craven Berry aud Elias Cunning.
ham are still crying 'Ler rs have milk, /"
we presume that Mr.. MIN will have to
"hold the cow some more.

HELP.-We understand that some of
our non-combatants are moving heaven
and earth to wake up the Grand Army
of the Republic in the interest of the
Radical faith. They acknowledge that
il was this sorganization that saved them
last fall Wonder if there is any neoes-
sity for their protection nowl Is there
any danger of war or rebeilionf
The eqainoxtial storm has passed,
with but little rain, not sufficient even
TO muddy. the Little Kanawha, much
lass swell it. This is unusual here, and
we fear we are destined to have dry
fall, as it is very cool at this time, much
to the injury Of farms, but particularly
to the detriment of the oil interest at
Burning Springs. There is at this time
not less than 10000 barrels of oil in
Rats and tanks, waiting a rise for
sh;nment. This amount of oil at even
Sva dollars a barrel would bring good
dsa, G of money into this county, and oil
ia stiIJ accumulating, with no prospect
Of being, shipped until rise in the
river occurs, which may not be till
spring.
