OF Waynesborough, was returning home from
Staunton list Saturday evening, he was as
saulted. as he states, by two persons about
mile out OF the city, on the Waynesborongh
road, ond knocked from his horse by stone.
He was very much stunned, so much SO that he
lay for some time insensible, and when ne
came to consciousness, he did not know where
he was. Observing a light OIL the railroad. he
endeavored to get o il. His ankle joint being
displaced, by some means, it was with great
difficulty he reached the railroad track. He
sat down until a gentleman, carving light,
came along. He made known his misfortune,
and an old negro man living near, was sum-
noned, who kindly cared for him during tie
night. DR.. A. Henkel was called on Sunday

bruised on both sides of the Joint. A severe
cut had been inflicted OH the side of the head,
and the body was otherwise bruised.

moved from the pocket in which he carried
them, were safe.
