CHARLESTON, Sept. 4, 1874.
Editors Of the Register.
The well known steamboat Captain,
Dan Woodward, was the subject of II
severe accident on last Saturday,evening
at his home two miles below this place,
which came very near proving fatal.
The Captain was administering medicine
to horse that had got into his granary
by some means or other and eaten too
much green wheat, which gave him the
collie, when the animal turned and ran
kicking him on the collar bone and in the
side, breaking several ribs and his collar
bone and badly fracturing his jaw. He
is now doing well under the. medical
treatment of several physicians. The
horse ran about one hundred yards and
fell dead.
The following is an extract from let
ter received a day or two since by the
writer from friend in Nicholas county.
We are satisfied that it expresses the
sentiment of the Democratic party in that
and adjoining counties, therefore we give
it to the readers of the REGISTER. He
says:
81 was Hereford man. and was glad
that he got the nomination for Congress.
He has made the best representative We
have ever had in Congress, and the ex-
perience he has had in our National Leg
ia lature most certainly qualities him 10
do more towards furthering the interest
of his constituency than if he was raw
hand.
"Burdett will receive the support ofthc
Democracy of this section. under
stand that that compound of demagoglsm
and conccit George Ii. Morrison, has an
nounced himself as all Independent can
didate against Burdett.'
| Although there are several persons
! wanting the nomination of the Demo-
cratic party for the House of Delegates,
we are Of the opinion that Hon. Samuel
A. Miller is the man who will get the
nomination and the support of his party
Rev. Stewart Robinson, Kentucky :
pride, lectured in the First Presbyterian
! Church, last Tuesday night, the subject
being the "Iloly Land
An Irishrnan named Foley attacked Il
negro boy a mile or two below Charles
ton, on the turnpike, day or two ago,
giving him severe drubbing, and lick
with a club, which made the darkey think
about passing in his checks Foley,
we believe, was arrested, and is now
lodged in the county Jail. The assault
was made without any prOvocation what
ever So rumor says.
We take the following from the pro-
ceedings of the City Council, which may
be of some general interest:
The report of VIM. Botkin, Marshal
Hill and Henry Mcfarland, who were
appointed to enumeratc the children of
the city between and u years, was rs
follows:
First Ward. VIM. Botkin cnumeratOr,
4l6; Second Ward, Marshal Hill emu
merator, 472; Third Ward, Henry Me-
Farland enumerator, 643; total number
of children, 1920.
1t is ordered that the county pay ut
the rate of fifty cents per scalp for each
fox, wildcat, or catamount killed within
this county from this time forward.
What's wrong with our friend "l"n
that we did not hear from him last week?
Let me congratulate you, dear REGISTER,
for securing such brilliant penman to
write for your paper. May You both live
until the last Radical has gone to heaven
is the earnest wish of ADDISON.
