Accidental Death.

A correspondent writing from Dixon's
Springs, Trcusdale county, under date of
the 18th inst. writes as follows: ga stranger,
Mr.. John Maybe, Of Nashville, met with a
most sudden death, some six miles from
this place, on yesterday, the 10th inst. He
was thrown from horse, and from the ma
lure of the injuries, must have been in
stantly killed. He was found near the
house of Mr.. John Rankin, on the waters of
Goose Greek, by Mr.. John Madden. The
horse had been loaned to him by J. II.
johnson, Esq, some days before for the
purpose Of visiting and attending a Baptist
convention at a place called Friendship,
some miles distant from Mr.. Johnson's, and
Mr.. Maybe was on his way back when he
melancholy accident happened. An inquest
vas held by the proper authority, and the
above facts elected. Tie remains were
properly cared for, and decently buried by
the citizens in the vicinity. Mr.. Maybe was
a clergyman of the Baptist church, and a
native of England, married man with a
family living at present in Nashville"

Among the freaks Of April showers and
farewell March gales may be found some of
strange character. While the winds always
come along wien ladies are thickest on the
street, disarranging Tinglets and paying di-
yers other courtesies to the sex, it seldom
stakes the veil" and wears it through the
heavens from one city to another. Yet
this actually happened yesterday. A laven-
der colOred veil was seen flying about in the
sky, spinning around as if Waiting with a
whirlwind. As chance would have it the
veil caught on the spire Ofthe capitol dome
where it remained some time and at last
was blown of, landing in the yard Of a
North Summer street residence.
Upon examination a piece of point
applique lace, on which was young lady's
name, was found attached to the veil, which
must have been purchased only few min
utes previous to its larceny by the wind,
since it had tag attached bearing the
name of a business firm in Columbia,
Tenn. The lady's name-and she is
beautiful one, being known to one of our
local knights of the outlaws written in
German letters on q piece of white cloth
about an inch and half long, which was
sewed TO the collar, and on the side worn
next to the dress. To this we noticed an
eyelet-a very desirable improvement on
fastening collars, inasmuch as the use OF
pins is thereby dispensed with. A 6 sntle-
man of this city related to the lady whose
name is on the collar, says she was in
Franklin yesterday, and it is thought the
veil when blown from her possession, tray
| eled directly for the capitol.

store-house Of Mr.. Allen, the door being
found broken open, and upon going out
fred pistol, whether by accident or inten-
tionally is not known, which set
fire to the building. Some think
the pistol was fired into a can of coal oil or
VIII sky purposely to burn the building.
The pistol shot was heard by several Of the
neighbors and also by Miss Jennie, a
daughter of Mr.. Allen, which frightened her
from her slumbers and caused her to leap
from a second story window to the ground,
iDjuring her leg by the fall. The screaming
of his daughter was the first intimation MIR.
Allen had of the fire and rushing through
his house to the grocery found the front en-
veloped in flames which spread rapidly,
communicating with the adjoining houses.
The fire department turned out promptly,
but were very much retarded in their OpeT-
ations by want of water. All the buildings
were entirely destroyed except the two sto-
ry frame occupied by Mr.. Watson, which
was burned out inside. The loss was
very heavy and with the insurance was
as follows: Mr.. Aliens loss in groceries
and building was over $500, insured Tor
$500; on residence loss $500, insured
for $500; all in the Commercial Insurance
Company, of this city. Al the furniture
in the upstairs rooms, the entire stock of
groceries and $500 in money, which, at the
time, was in a trunk in the grocery, were
lost.
Mr.. Watson had no insurance on his
property, some of which was destroyed,
and the resi- very badly damaged by its
hasty removal.
Mr.. Beasley had policy taken March
20, in the Georgia Home Insurance Com
pany, of $500, on the drug store, which will
not cover his loss.
DR.. Henry had on his stock of drugs, oils,
paints, etc, a policy of 81 900 in the Queen,
of Liverpool and London. 1t is thought
there was no insurance on Compton's house.
