ACCIDENT on THE V. Il T. Il. R.-Oi
an accident which happened on the line
of the V. & T. r. Il. yesterday, and of
which We heard merely the outlines, the
| Gold Hill Nelrs of last evening gives the
following particulars:
When the Second Section of train No.
s. on the Virginia & Truckee Railroad,
which leaves Gold Hill at O'Clock NJ.
had reached point about two miles
south Of the American Flat Tunnel, four
platform cars jumped the track and were
thrown off an embankment. a distance of
about fifteen feet, and turned bottom
side up. The engineer stopped the train
Immediately on discovering that the cay,
were Of TIE track, but not in time to
prevent the accident which followed.
The cars after quitting the track
bumped along over the ties with such
violence as to throw one Of the passen-
gers by the name Of Cook off the train,
on the upper site the track. Cooks
right leg and left shoulder were badly
bruised in consequence of the fall.
Conductor Howe, who was standing
on one of the platform ears at the time
the accident occurred, was precipitated
over the emoankmcnt along with the
GAYS and alightcd on his head and re-
ceived an ugly cash on the top OF the
same, from which the blood strtamed
beautifully. He WAS able, however, TO
90 on with the balance OF his tram to
Carson.
a brakeman. whose name. we could
not ascertain. after the wreck had taken
place. was found lying on the top Of an
inverted car. He was badly hurt III one
Of his hips, and when helped off the car
was not able to stand alone. He was
placed on board an up-hound train and
conveyed to Virginia City.
James O'Gnra, II 'cm>ter IN the en-
ploy Of the Eureka Mil Company, when

one Of the platform carr. presented "A
fri.htful appearance. His sclp WAS
laid open from the crown OF his head
forward, in diagonal direction, as far
as his right temple. There WAS also All
other bad cut On the backslde OF his
head, and an ugly gnsh over his risot
eye. His forehead was severely bruised |
and covered with numerous cuts. HIS !
right eye was closed up and his face WAS
covered with blood. He received several |
severe bruises on his right hip and vali- |
Dus other portions of bis body. A
couple of powders lying under the car
prevented his being crushed to death.
He WAS brought to Gold Hill on the up
bound train, and placed in the waiting
,oom of the depot. DR.. Kirby WAS sent

How TO DISCHARGE A PEINTER.-Pat
Cunningham says they have Il peculiar
way of discharging printers in the Day
ton off 'cs. Each comp. has nail to
hang his coat on and when the foreman
concludes to dispense with the services
of one of the hands, he takes hammer
and drives the nail in to the head. The
comp. comes up next morning, finds his
nail gone in, and Immediately infers that
he has been discharged. Being dis
charged. he goes off-and gets drunk

EXAMINATION OF THE ALLEGED HIGH
wA1ME.-The three men, Buck. Tracy
and Slatterv, who are accused of having
attacked and robbed Eodini on North
Carson street on Saturday night, were
arraiene,1 before Justice Withercn yes
terday and underwent an examination,
the result of which WIS their each and
several holding in the sum OF 50 ESQ 10
appear before the next grand jury. In
default OF that amount they were CON-
mitted The testimony of the prosecut-
ing witness was very direct and positive
as to the identity of two of the accrsed
and ell the attendant circumstances
point to the trio as the perpetrators of
the crime. Buck is a sta!wart, beetle
browed IrishInan of 80 or thereabout
who looks as if he were tree. of the
severe and irksome duties of Sabbnth
School teacher-if. indeed, he ever was
engaged in the amiable duties of that
position. which is somewhat dubious:
Tracy is glib-tongued scamp who has
the air Of decayed steamboat-runner
cheeky. aud far from ruileiess: and
the I'D. SlatterE, is the representation
Of sell possession and coolness-a hard
checked cold eyed hoodlUm. Tracy is
evidently ''qneer" customer from New
York or ther,'boEt. He made qrite a
speech and tried to establish & very thin
alibi. We might give a synopsis of the
evidence, bat it il hardly worth the
wili,e. inasnlueh as this case viii come
up for trial in the District CouIt.

A Barber Story.

The following story we have read
before, but it deserves repetition: {:
Frank Bishop went into barber shop
to see his friend. the proprietor. The
barber was out, so he sat down and
waited for him to come in. Getting
tired of waiting, he said, :" L am going
to have some fun" so he put on bar
hers apron aAd then looked out for
customer. BY and by one came in
and sat down in a chair, saying that
he desired to be shaved Bishop saw
that he had got himself into a bad fix,
but he put brave face OIL, and COM
menced to lather the mans face, ex
pecting every minute to see the bar
Der come in. But he did not come.
After he had lathered the man for
about fifteen minutes the man became
angry, and said: Look here, my
friend. | want to get shaved sometime
to-day" Shaved ?" said Bishop, in
well-feigned surprise, "Shaved? ]
guess you have made a mistake. We
don't shave here-wS only lather peO-
pie. You get shaved on the next
block"

GEN. Wickham declines the use
Of his name as the republican candi

Col. Hughes very clear track for
the nomination, but he will find the
road to the Governors house dispu
ted by an army whose compactness
and discipline will be to him, one
of those unexpected things which
blast the hopes of politicians. The
people of Virginia are not going to
give to the last Presidential vote the
character OF decisiveness. Nor are
they discouraged because Greeley
failedto rally the conservative vote
of the State.

do wonder who it was intended for? And
| wonder if you don't know something

tell"
Ne, mother?"
Yes, me mother; you was mighty
anxious to get me an pap off to Aunt
Ruth's tonight; but | noticed you were
slicked up extraordinary, for all you
weren't going
Here Annie lost her needle, and went
down on the floor to find it.
"Now. Annie" her mother went on.
I'm gittin' old, / know that, but
haven't quite lost my eyesight yet, nor
my hearin' neither I've surmised lit
tie sOmethin' about these COINS on be-
tween you an David afore now. What
ar you playin' pOssum fur? Out with it,
| say. faint fair to be tryin' to come il
over your old mother"
Thus adiured, our small feminine Mach
laval made clean breast Of it, much re-
lieved to find that mother hadn' nuthin'
agin him. and would give father a
talkin' to about it, and bring him
around "
But, Annie" said Mrs. Moore, dry.

vid L d rather he d not make such mis-
takes as that again. | don't ike the fee
of his big whiskers about my face, and,
moreover, | don't approve of promiskus

David never heard the last of that kiss
in the dark. Old Squire Moore of course
heard of it, and used to take great delight
in slyly alludlng to the circumstance when
all the parties concerned happened to be
present. He would shake his burly sides
with laughter at David's evident discom-
future and his wife's tart replies, while
Annie would side with her father, and
poke sly fun at her sweetheart, and then
both of them would laugh again at the
other two until the tears ran down their
cheeks.
Never mind. David" Mrs. Moore
would say consOlingly to the abashed low
er, let them laugh. He'd have been
only too glad to have been in your place
thirty years ago. He had hard work to
get kiss from me then. | hope the Oc-
cnrrence will be a lesson to you an Annie
agin the un-policy of undcrhand doings
of all sorts, Seein' as how they are liable
to end, in such eases, in kissing the wrong
one in the dark"

Deputy Marshal Deklyne has re-

the day after the massacre. The de-
tails are horrible. The Democrats

oust the incumbent parish officers by
force, and failed, the Sheriff protect
ing the officers with a colored posse.
Several days afterwards, recruits
from other parishes to the number or
three hundred, came to the assistance
OF the assailants, when they demand
ed the surrender of the colored peo-
pie. This was refused. An attack
was made, and the negroes were driv-
en- into the courthouse. The court
house was fired, and the negroes
slaughtered as they left the burning
building. After resistance ceased,
sixty-ive negroes, terribly mutilated.
were found dead near the ruins of the
courthouse. Thirty known to have
been taken prisoners, are said to have
been shot afte. surrender, and thrown
in the river Two of the assailants
were wounded. The slaughter is
greater than in the riot of 1856. This

GEN. Malone has also expressed
himself Is ardently in favor of a con-
nection between his line and the G. &

Clifton Forge or from Central to Mouth
Of Greenbrier, but expresses a prefer
ence for the latter route. This all
looks well on paper, but we may just
as well be plain about it and state that
we have no idea that the G. & o. r. r
will he disposed to favor it. We very
much wish it could be done.
