on yesterday, an unknown white man mads
a most remarkable escape from being in
stantly killed by the south-bound passen-
ger train of the Orange railroad. The
man, it seems, had fallen asleep near the
track, with his head betwecn the ties, and
the thumb of his right hand resting on
the rail The wheels of the engine pass,
ed over the thumb, crushing it entirely
off above the joint. but most fortunately
nficting no other injury. The engineer
did not see the man until the train was
within short distance of him, bur stopped
as soon as possible, and the officers o.
the train rendered the wounded man such
assistance as was in their power. He was
taken on board in an insensible condition
and had BOT revived sufficiently to give
any account of who he was or how he
cane to be asleep in SO dangerous place.

4 Boy WHIPPED TO DEAru.-We learn
that, few weeks since a boy by the
name of Trollinger, from North Carolina,
was so severely whipped by Harry Wysor,
near Dublin, Pulaski county that he
has since died of his injuries. His offence
was opening a letter addressed to his en-
ployer, Wysor who, on discovering what
had been done, told the boy that he could
take his choice between arrest and i'm
prisonmcnt for breaking open his letter,
or whipping from him. The boy chose
the latter; whereupon Wysor took him to
the woods, stripped hin to the shirt, and
hit him seven hundred lsshes; literally cut
ting the shirt from bis back in ribbons.
Trollipger. on being released, started for
his honle'ia North Carolina, but is re-
ported to have died on the way. Wysor
has been indicted for the offence. - Mont
