AFEARFUL ACCIDENT.
4 Man Falls from the Iolston Bridge and
Narrowly Escapes Death.

saturday morning, about l0l o'clock,
while the workmen were engaged on the
south end of the bridge, a carpenter named
James Little, fell some forty feet among
rocks and timber and narrowly escaped
death. It seems that several men were
pushing a truck, on which some timber
had been placed, and when nearing the
spot where Little stood one of the timbers
rolled off, causing him to jump aside, and
in doing so he lost his balance and fell down
between the floor beams, falling on his
left side, and rebounding came to lying
position on his right side. DR.. Saltmarsh
was Immediately sent for and examining
the man on the spot where he had
fallen, was truly surprised to find
that no bones were broken, and that the
man was not at all seriously injured. His
left wrist was slightly sprained, and his
left thigh somewhat bruised, and the right
side of his head was badly, yet not dan
gerously, cut by a sharp rock. The doctor
gave him what attention he needed at that
place, after which he was placed in bug
gy and brought over to his residence on
Front street, almost Immediately under
the bridge. On arriving at his house, the
man actually go. out of the buggy and
walked into his house. The physician
gave him all the attention necessary, and
left him feeling more comfortable than
any one could have reasonably expected to
feel after q fall of forty feet among pile
of rocks. He will doubtless feel, as the
physician told him, very sore to-day, but
will not be kept many days from his work.
This certainly borders on the miraculous.

Funeral Of Miss Mary Aunt.

The funeral of Miss. Mary Ault took
place yesterday at the Clinch Street Meth
odist Church, as per encouragement, the
Church being literally crowded with SYM
pathizing and weeping friends. The pas
tor officiated, being assisted by Rev. Jas.
Park, of the First Presbyterian Church,
and Rev. Mr.. French, of the North Knox
vile M. L. Church, South. The services
were interesting, and the congregation was
deeply moved, especially at the time when
Rev. Mr.. Park related the death-bed scene,
showing how triumphantly the true Chris
tian can die. Although life had been
sweet to her, and continued scene of hap
piness, yet when death approached the
transporting, rapturous scene that greeted
her spiritual sight destroyed all desire for
remaining longer on this side of the cold
Jordan of death, and bidding an affection
ate farewell to her loved relatives, her soul
took its rapturous flight to the bosom of
her Redeemer. Christians that heard the
narrative of her death, must have been
strengthened in their determination to
continue to fight the battles of the Lord
for few more fleeting years, and then
die triumphantly as she did, Her remains
were followed to Grey Cemetery by very
large concourse of relatives and friends. .

Craighead Springs.

These springs are situated about six
miles south of Sweetwater, and have been
long and favorably known on account of
their valuable tonic, diuretic and altera-
tive properties. ..
There are three springs bursting up
within a few yards of each other-one
Limestone, the other Chaly beate, or one
Chalyb eate, and another that also contains
iron in combination with sulphur and
other mineral properties. The latter is
principally used for bathing purposes. All
these springs unite into one, within
short distance of the fountain-head, and
flow off in an easterly direction through a
dark and picturesque forest into the
limpid waters OF But Creek. Immediately
west of the springs lies beautiful lake,
covering about three acres of land.
find by conversing with the Oldest citi-
Zens in this vicinity, that these springs
have performed many wonderful cures,
and rarely fail to benefit those who at
tended them afflicted with dyspepsia or
chronic Indigestion.
L learned yesterday from Messrs. Nc
Croskey and Pearce, who have lately pur-
chased these springs, and are now begin
ming to improve them, that they intend to
enclose ten acres around the spings, clean
out the underground, and SOW the ground
in grass. They are also going to clear the
lake of all the logs and brush, and place
boats upon it and erect suitable buildings
to rent next summer. We predict bright
future for Craighead Springs. -Sl0eetWater

4 RUNAWAY.
a Man nmd Horse Badly Hurt on Gay
street


On Friday evening two horse team be-
longing, we understand, TO a man named
Turney, took fright in front of Judge
Browns agricultural store on Gay street,
and ran at full speed up the street. There
were two men in the wagon, one named
johnny Pine, and the other name we
could not learn. They were both thrown
out before it had proceeded scarcely any
distance, and near the corner of Asylum
and Gay street the wagon turned over
breaking one wheel and throwing one of
the horses. The other horse however,
with Herculean strength, dragged the fall
en- horse and wagon around the corner,
and some distance up Asylum street, until
it was stopped by.Esquire Gardley and
several other parties.
One of the men received no injuries, but
Johnny Pine was considerably hurt. He
vas taken into DR.. Stewards office, close
by, and the Doctor not being in himself,
another physician was sent for. After a
little time, Drs. Bailey and Campbell came
to the rescue, and preliminary examina-
ton took place. 1t was found that the
ankle bone of his left leg was slightly frac-
tured, and that he had sustained some in
jures in his side, but to what extent it was
impossible to tell just then. He was re-
moved to his home, and DR.. Alexander,
his regular physician, sent for, who will
doubtless do all that can be done for the
suffering man. .
The wagon was pretty badly damaged,
and one wheel broken, and the horse that
fell had its side badly skinned up and
seemed to be considerably hurt. We fall
ed to learn what caused the horses to take
fright, but were told that the man Pine
was somewhat under the influence of in
toXicating drink. -.f.. .rs... ...

TENNESSEE AT VIENNA.


The cable dispatches from Vienna an
nounces that Tennessee minerals were
awarded prize by the judges at the great
International Exposition. Two East Ten
nessee citizens deserve special credit for
the conspicuous advertisement thus
given our minerals and for placing
them where they have been witnesse
by millions from every part of the
world. Governor Brown appointed
commissioners to prepare for and superin-
tend the exhibition of Tennessee produe-
tions at Vienna. But one of them, so far
as we have heard, took special interest
in the matter. Gen. John 7. Wilder, ever
alive to the interests of his adopted State,
by personal efforts, procured fine speci-
mems of coal, iron ore, iron, marble,
&C., and had them forwarded, at
considerable expense, by railroad
to New York and there shipped by steam
er to Vienna. For this work and ex-
pense Gen. Wilder does not receive any
compensation from the State.
The minerals thus gathered and shipped
arrived in Bremen in July. About that
time Hon. j. NJ. Thornburgh, our Repre-
sentative in Congress was at Vienna and
found by personal inquiry, that unless the
minerals were promptly put on exhibition
they would be too late to be inspected or
receive prizes. He accordingly advanced
rom his private funds the ocean and rail-
road freights from Bremen. He persons
ally superintendent getting them from
the Vienna custom house trans
porting them to the grounds, providing
tables for displaying them, labelling them,
and by large printed cards showing where
they were from. These expenses, amount
| ing to five hundred dollars, Col. Thorn
burgh paid. Through his influence, the
"juries," before making their awards,
went back and examined the Tennessee
minerals. Through the chief architect of
the building, Mr.. Henry RIGHT, an Ameri-
can German, Col. Thornburgh secured a
personal inspection of our minerals from
the Emperor of Austria, who was particu
larly pleased with the specimens of marble
which came from our Knoxville pOstoffice
quarry, now being worked by the Knox
vile Marble Company. These facts
have been known to us for some
time, and now when Tennessee
has been honored with prizes, we think
it but just to the gentlemen named that
they should have the honor so justly due
| them. But for their efforts, we should
have lost the splendid advertisement now
| secured.

Serious Accident.

Sunday afternoon last, Capt. A d.
Haynes met with terrible accident, near
HaZen's paper mill, four miles from the
city, caused by'a runawayEhorse. He, to-
gether with his wife and child, had been
spending day in the country, and were
returning home, when the horse became
alarmed at cow by the roadside, and
started to run, when Capt. Haynes at
tempted to check him, but instead of do
ing so, caused the frightened animal TO
turn shortly to oneside, tipping the buggy
over and throwing Mira Haynes aud the
little girl out. Mr.. III. however retained
his seat until the horse had run nearly a
hundred yards, when one of the wheels
struck stone, the rebound throwing the
unfortunate man out under the buggy, one
of the wheels running over his leg and the
lowerpart of his body.
In falling Mr.. II. struck on the back of
his neck and spine, between the shoulders,
injuring him considerably and rendering
him senseless for the time. IL F3EFt
E The accident was witnessed by O num-
Der of persons, who hurried to the rescue
and rendered what assistance they could.
The injured man was brought to his board
ing house in this city on Sunday night
in a wagon, the buggy not being
in condition to do much service, He
is under the care of Mrs. DR.. French

The pediment, on the principal front of
the new post office building, was finished
yesterday. 1t is larger and handsomer
than on the Clinch street front. Mr. john

OF the same style, and equal beauty. Gen.
Holman is preparing for the interior work.
The floors will be of seasoned ash. The
inside wood work will be mostly of black
walnut and the work equal to the interior
of a Pullman palace car. When COM
pleted, Knoxville will have luilding
equal to the finest south OF Washington,
