ENTERTAINMENT AT MINT SrkING.--
On Saturday evening last the stMint Spring
Musical and Dramatic Association" gave
an entertainment, the proceeds of which
were to aid in purchasing an organ for the
! Episcopal Chapel, near Mint Spring, gen.
orally known as the "Church in the
woods" The performance, which consist
ed Of the laughable farce, ''Deaf as post, -
and number of songs and piano solos,
was excellent. The ladies and gentlemen
| who performed in the play were Mrs. Muir
ray, Misses Eskridge, Dabney and Coch-
ran, and Messrs. Murray, Goodwin, Esk-
ridge, Geare and Towb erman. They all
acquitted themselves in most creditabl o
manner, but the two principal lady charac-
tiers, personated by Misses Dabney and
Eskridge, deserve special praise. At the
conclusion of the farce Miss Dabney per-
formed piano solo with great skill and
was followed by Miss Eskridge, in the
charming song of ''The Bridge" which
was sung with exquisite sweetness and
taste. Several very good comic songs were
then sung by Mr.. Murray, much to the de-
light of the audience. Mrs. Murray sang
the ''Happy hunter" in a most agreeable
manner, and was ably assisted in the &C
compartment by Mr.. Geare. Miss Annie
Cochran gave piano solo, "The Attack
Galop,'' and met with the applause she so
well merited. The charming duet, "The
Quaker" was well sung, in character,
by Miss Eskridge and Mr.. Dyche. After
an interval of ten minutes the young lady
last named sang, in her usual sweet man.
ner, the pretty and well-known song,
'sCome, Birdie, come" The performance
concluded with most ludicrous piece, en-
titled s'Four black crows" and piano
solo, brilliantly executed by Miss Dabney,
leaving the audience perfectly satisfied
and delighted. 1t is only fair to the ladies
who performed the piano solos to state the
disadvantage they labored under in the
piano being so shockingly out of tune. The
attendance was very small, and after pay
ing expenses will leave but very meagre
margin towards the laudable object the en-
tertainment was gotten up for. 1t is I'M
derstood that another concert of similar
character will take place in the course Of
week OF two at Barterbrook, where, it is to
be hoped the association will meet with
the success the object, and the skill of the
members so richly deserves.

A TRAIN WRECKED AT BULL RUIZ BRIpGE-THE EN-
| CINE AND SEVERAL CARS TUMBLE DOWN AN EN-
| BANRMEsr.
WARRINGTON, July 81
Yesterday. serious accident occurred to tho
north bound passenger train of the Virginia
Midland r. r., near Bull Run BRIDGE Is or go
miles south of Alexandria.
Tho accident was caused by the breaking of a
fiange OF driving wheel of the engine probably
caused by defect in the track at that point.
Tho engine was thrown down an embankment
about 10 feet and turned upside down. The
baggage, smoking and ladies' car followed it and
were piled upon and around tho engine. The
sleeping car did not leave the track. The engine
tender and baggage car were badly broken.
The baggage master was hurt in'thei head and
injured internally 1t is thought ho will die.
One passenger had his arm sprained and several
received scratches and cuts from broken glaea.
The engineer and ilremen were taken ont from
beneath the debris entirely unhurt.
There were about thirty.five passengers on
board.
On Wednesday an accident occurred at the
same place to a freight train, the engine of
which was lying ON the eide of tho embankment
and prevented the ladies' car from plunging to
tho bottom, and perhaps averting loss of life.
1t is stated that the freight train was thrown
off the track by an obstruction dosignedly placed
