Fatal Accident.

One of the most distressing accidents we
have ever recorded took place on Sunday morn.
ing last resulting in the death of Mr.. George
W. Davis, young man about % years of age
who resided six or seven miles west Of this
place. 1t seems that he borrowed his fathers
double -barrelled gun few days before, and
had discovered that one of the locks was out of
order. Anxious to apprise the family Of the
condition of the gun, and to prevent any acci-
dent that might be occasioned thereby, he
sought the first opportunity as his father was
passing on Sunday morning, to warn him
against its use, until the lock was mended. As
he reached for the gun, which was behind the
door, and had just taken it into his own hands,
the barrel exploded, and the contents were
lodged in his head, which was terribly mutila-
ted. He lived about three quarters of an hour,
totally unconscious, and expired without a
struggle. He was the eldest son of Mr.. Charles
S. Davis, formerly of this town. He was mar
ried last year to a daughter of Capt. Robert
Junkin, and thus leaves young wife to mourn
his untimely death.

A Novel Exhibition.

The denizens of this town and vicinity were
treated last week to novel exhibition for this
section, although they are quite common in
other parts of the country. We refer to the
flying trapeze, as it is called, which consists of
revolving canvas, to which diminutive wood
Ell ponies were suspended by iron rods, and the
whole turned rapidly by crank arrangement.
Much sport was obtained by the participants
for two days and nights, and there was crowd
of spectators almost constantly surrounding
the apparatus. The exhibition was free to the
by-standers, but the small contribution of ten
cents was required from the riders of the little
ponies The rapid rate at which they were
whirled round and round made us think
that the spectators we're enjoying the scene
vastly more than the riders, and ought to
be made to pay for the privilege. We cannot
describe the machine and the sport more accu-
ratey, but would inform the anxious public
that the proprietor made arrangements to re-
turn next month, and will have this novelty at
the Fair Grounds on the Goth, Goth and 31st of
October. All who are anxious to take ride
at break-neck speed, without the slightest dan
ger of accident, are invited to the Fair, when
the opportunity will be offered once again.

For the anderson MtelEqencer.

Mr.. EDITOR: Considering it a matter of
great Importance to the people, and in particu-
lar to the governing powers of any country, to
be fully aware of the facts that indicate truly
the state of improvement or deterioration in
all the details that make up the sum of nation
al prosperity or happiness; when these facts
are left to conjecture, the people are kept
in the dark. We have now in different locali-
ties of the country, cause sufficient to engage
the attention seriously of all our people, as
we'll as the law-making powers. This is the
condition of portions of the county where ma
laria fever is prevailing to such an alarming
extent, and which has depopulated whole
neighborhoods, producing so much distress,
sickness and death many valuable lives have
been lost. There is scarcely to be found on
record series Of facts, which so conclusively
and undeniably prove the origin and charac-
ter, or point out the circumstances under which
this malignant fever is propagated and diffused
over the country for miles, as we find in the
vicinity, of Slabtown. On the Twenty Three
Mile Greek, we find large bodies of bottom
lands, by neat calculation, six hundred acres
of wet march land, the paradise of vegetation
and the grave of human life unfit for any pur-
pose under the sun but to generate malaria,
which yearly claims its victims without dis
tinction of color, age or sex, and adding daily
to the list of victims; it is to be regretted that
the kind admonitions of the physician to re-
move from this hot-bed of disease, have been
disregarded by some individuals who have re-
mained the self-devoted victims of disease and
DEATH
The discordant opinions of some of the ply
sicians in regard to our fevers has somewhat
checked ME in giving an expression generally,
and for long time refused, because there were
some who were false to their own interest, and
in some cases their worst enemies were
themselves. But melancholy experience has
forced the truth upon US, and however unpala-
table to myself or to others to entertain or ex-
press it, will find it impossible to escape from
its pressure, that the sole, direct and proximate
cause, is the large amount of undrained land
and pools of stagnant water caused by obstruc-
tions generally For all these differences of
opinion in regard to malaria, l know of no
remedy, but lay aside prejudice and dslikes,
and go to draining this nursery of disease.
I have no fears ofa we'll informed society npon
