CRUSHED by A RoCK.-Last week an
old gentleman named Moss, Waterman on
the Baltimore s. Ohio Railroad, near
CORVALLIS, met with a fearful accident,
He went to narrow cut 10 drive some
cattle Off the railroad track. Some mon
were, or had been, quarrying stone on the
hill above him. A rock weighing q thou
sand pounds or more started from the
quarry above. Mr.. Moss tried to get out
Of the way, but the rock In It's descent
struck another and fell upon Mr.. Moss,
crushing his shoulder, MASKING one leg to
a jelly and bruisiug other parts this body
badly. One informant stated that the
suferings Of the unfortunate man were
excruci9ting, and 1t did not seem possible
that he could survive.
A DOUBLE ACCDENT.-Two serious
accidents happened In UuniOn township
last week. Mr.. Frazer Little had log
rolling, and q little son Of his by some
means got on the lower side Of rolling
log which in It's descent, passed over him,
crushing him so badly that 1t is reported
he has since died. Mr.. Gribble, who
was present, started for q doctor, and on
his way back his horse became irighten-
ed at a dog which sprang suddenly out Of
house, threw his rider to the ground and
kicked him so badly in the breast, that
his life, too, Is dispaired OF.

MAN KILLED IN GILMER.-We learn
that a few days ago, as James Kirkpat-
rick, who resides about nine miles from
Chenille, was rolling logs on his farm, o
log above, on steep decllvity, came down
ION the rum" striking him with great
force. He was knocked down and the log
rolled over him, and among other injuries
his neck was broken, which must have re.
suited in his instant death, as he was not
seen to have breathed afterwards. The
deceased was very respectable farmer,
with a wife and tolerably large family.
RELLIs HYER went over the dam at SUIT.
ton in a canoe last Sunday. he missed
the slope, his boat capsized, and he mar
rowly escaped drowning by holding on to
the boat until he got out from the suck oil
the dam.

Joseph Lindncr, on Monday afternoon
last, thought that it would be right nice
to sit upon revolving shaft in the
Charleston Brewery, about six or eight
inches from tue floor OF the building.
Having done so, her clothing was, as
matter Of course, wound around the
shaft, and had 1t not been for the remark
able efforts Of her little brother, she also
would have encircled the uuyielding iron
with her own slight FORM nd thereby
suffered an unhappy death. At the in
slant, however, that her clothes were
drawn around the shaft, the boy sprang
and by main strength actually tore every
stitch OF raiment from the girls person,
leaving the clothes wrapped around tie
machine. The escape Of the little girl Is
indeed very remarkable.
JUDGE Brown sold the keeney farm,
last week, for the sum Of 81. 1000, to Henry
Heck, Esq. This farm was purchased
only few weeks since, by Judge Brown
for 81 ,000 so it will be seen by this, that
Jackson county lands are looking up
RdUeRSpo0d NetcS. heb.
