CnILDREN--A child was killed in Rich
mond few days ago, through the carelessness
of colored nurse. in letting it fall head fore
most from baby's carriage. None have been
killed in this way 10 our community; but we
have been shocked, on numerous occasions, to
see servants pushing baby carriages along our
streets with the tender little infants facing
the blazing sun, they (,he servauts) perfectly
unconcerned and uumindful of the suferings
OF their helpless charges. Parents should
keep an eye to this matter.

b'trators Accordingly, on Saturday, the ar
b'trators held high court in the court. house
here, where both parties were ably represented
by counsel--Messrs. Brooke. Baylor & Wilson
for the land owners and Messrs Green,
Lucas and Boyce for the railroad company.
The decision of the Court of Arbi,rators
was, as awarded 70 the different land owners,
an average of s121.sO per acre, which to-
ciudes all damages, fencing. &c.. &C. This is
deemed fair and reasonable, aud the verdict
will be universally approved, save aud except
ny those only, over whose lands the iron

Instances will be few and axceptional,
as we believe our people are becoming more

speedily and satisfactorily arranged, and the
work pushed to an early completion.

RAILROAD SMASH Up.-A correspondent
from Dufield's kindly informs us of a con-
siderable railroad accident which occurred on
the s. Il .. r. r., in that vicinity, on FIJI
day evening last The accident was caused
by the breaking in half or uncouplins of the
stock train, it being in front of other freight
srains. by which means about six cars became
detached from the engine and forward norton
of the train. AS soon as this condition of af
fairs became apparent the conductor. who was
behind. drew brakes and went hack 10 signal
to the ira n arproachin. from the rear as quick
*'s possible; but he was too late to avail any,
thing. The train came on ard struck the de-
tached cars with crash, causing them to sep.
aratc; the part remaining on the track quickly
followed the front portion Of the train, and
overlook and run into it about half mile
below the depot, demolishins some five or six
more freight cars loaded with corn, The cars
then took fire from the large lamp in front,
and whole carload of hogs were consumed
hesides many Others injured and killed A
fine horse, that had been purchased the dav
before for the sum of $500, was thrown some
thirty feet from the track, but luckily, it is
hoped, not seriously injured. All the rail
road employees aboard escaped with a few
slight bruises. a drover on the train, how
ever, was seriously, though it is hoped not
fatally injured. He was removed to the house
of Mr.. John Link, near by, where he is re-
'c:ivins every attention. aud seems to be doing
