Accident and Death.

A very distressing and fatal accident oc-
cured in this town last week, some Of the par
,iculars Of which we received beioreissuing our
last number. hut. hoping that it would not
p7ove to be anything serious, and not wishing
10 give unnecessary publicity to what prom
ised 10 be but slight casualty, we iorooTe TO
make apv notice Of the affair. Since then,
20 ,be great grief Of her family and large cir
c,o Of relatives and friends, the result has been
,be sp5jen death Of one Of tie most lovely and
beloved ladies Of jefferson county. The facts
arc as follows:-
Miss JANET BEALI, Youngest daughter Of
the late George B. Beall aud granddaughter
Of the late John Yates, came to town on Fri
dav afternoon, the l4th instant, with her mo-
Their. In a spring wagon, and in alightins on
.bc crossing between tue dwelling Of y. S.
White snd the store Of A. W. COmer, she
made a misstcp and fell TO the ground, sirik-
ing the top Of her head with considerable force
on the stone crossing. Several gentlemen went
70 Der assistance, but she seemed TO have suf-
fered but triGing injury at the time, rose and
walked over to Howell & Bros store and at
tended to some shopping. While thus en-
gagged, however, she complained Of pain IN her
head. and Mr.. S. Howell proposing that she
should 20 to his house near by and lie down,
she did so. and remained in town over night,
continuing at intervals to suffer severely, and
receiving every Kindness from her friends On
Saturday morning she icll into state Of inseu-
sibili,v from which every effort TO arouse her
proving uuayailjug. she expired at Z o'clock
tbe same evening. The verdict Of the physi-
clans attending was that blood-vessel Of the
brain had been rupturcd in the Gll. Her re-
mains were followed by large assembly of
her s5rrowiug friends 70 their last resting
place in the Episcopal graveyard on Sabbath
afternoon. Miss r. was about "A years ofoEe.
Of a most engaging disposition, being the IA
vorite Of her associates, and her sudden and
untimely end falls with uumiugatcd severity
on her afflicted and jeyo.edIy attached family.
