Of his incompetency to manage his affairs,
was finally heard Saturday and Monday,
and after listening to very large number
Of witnesses on both sides, was rejected. In
the evidence introduced of the defendants
"incompetency" was that, that though
oyer Is years of age the idea of getting a
wife of sixteen was weighing on his mind,
and that he believed that by reading GER
tain passage in the bible the flow of blood
from wound would instantly be stopped.
Court evidently held that the desire for

trinity of mankind of all ages to warrant
a decision against defendant on that
ground. Fultz & Fultz for defendant.

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.-On Friday
last, Frank G. Turner, only % years ofage,
the youngest son of Prof. A. J. Turner, of
Staunton, was fatally injured at Bremo's
Bluff, in Fluvanna county. He was visi-
ting the residence Of Mr.. John M. Norval,
and was mounting his horse to attend a
school commencement in the neighbor-
hood, when the spirited animal took
fright at the noise Of fan Mr.. Turner
held in his hand, and dashed off before
the rider had gotten, fairly on him, and
was swinging to his side. Mr.. Turner's
head was struck against an oak tree a few
feet off and his skull fractured. Mr. Tur.
ner rose after his accident and walked in
to the house, asking some of those there
if they thought his skull was fractured.
He retained his consciousness several
hours after the accident. A physician,
DR.. Fontaine, was on the spot directly, but
his efforts were unavailing, and the young
man died ON Saturday morning. Every
attention that thoughtful kindness could
suggest was paid him by the family Of Mr..
Norval, and after his death Mr.. N. had
his remains prepared for interment and
shipped for Staunton by way of Richmond.
Prof. Turner, who had been telegraphed
and went across the country by vehicle
from Charlottesville, arrived too late to
see his son, whose remains arrived here on
Monday, and were inferred by delegations
of the Odd Fellows and Knights of Py-
thias, of both of which orders he was
member The Stonewall Brigade Band, at
it's regular meeting Tuesday night, ad-
journed without the transaction of any
business, out of respect to Prof. Turner,
their leader, and adopted resolutions of
sympathy with him and his family in their
bereavement. 1t is rather singular COIN
cidence that the father Of Mrs. Norval,
at whose house young Turner was killed,
was named Frank Turner, and was killed
a few years since by horse in precisely
the same manner Young Frank Turner
was greatly beloved by all who knew him
for his generous and unselfsh traits of
character, and his family have the SYM
pathy of our people in their bereavement.
STREET IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE PAST
YEAR.-The report of City Engineer AL
len for the year ending on the 1st, shows
that $19, 1856 was expended on the streets of
Staunton in that time, which amount in
cluded some important and costly improve
ments, the main street being one of them.
Of this amount $5.225 is to be collected
from the citizens on the main street i'm
provement. Some items taken from the
report show some Of the localities where
some of the money has been expended in, as
follows: Augusta street, $55; the arch
bridge, 1925; Market street. $l72; Middle
brook road, $24: Fishersyille road, $1O2;
Frederick street, $50; Gfeenville road. $32;
cleaning streets, ISL; Main street, 81 ,5S5;
New Court House street extension, $500:
Church street, $6l; Fillmore street,
1878; New street, $127; Prospect street,
$3.50, and general improvements, 1884.
There were 1856 days work gotten out Of
the chain gang. The report shows that
enough was spent for cart hire to have
bought carts and mules and kept them too,
a recommendation which the Council
year ago refused to adopt.

A NOVEL ENTERTAINMEN New
colored slaves, who have trav-
eled extensively through the United States
and Canada, starting out from New Or
leans, gave concerts at the African NJ E.
Church, on Main street, ON Monday and
Tuesday nights. The singers were all
black except the contralto, who is mu-
latto girl, with voice of wonderful power
Apart from The curiosity which attaches
to any exhibition of the arts by the col
ored people, the concerts are attractive
in other respects; for instance, the quar-
tette, ''What shall. the harvest be?" was
beautifully sung, as also was beautiful
Star" Indeed, all the songs were good.
though those which the bill announced to
be sung Sin old plantation style,'' were
especially interesting, They were of such
weird character, and yet with so much
sweetness in the singing, that the comical
words were overlooked. "Roll Jordan.
roll,'' contained many verses of that char
acter, and here is one as we recollect it:
Roll Jordan, roll!
A settin' in de kingdom hearing,
Jordan roll!'
After this extract the reader can form
an idea of what such songs as ''Didn't old
Pharaoh get lost, "My good Lord has
been here, :" ''Come along Moses and don't
get lost, Judgment day." and There's a
meeting here tonight" are composed.
Seats were set apart for white people, and
when the ice-cream came (our colored
| brethren furnish refreshments between
the acts at a moderate price, the whites
of whom there were small number pres
emit, were informed that their orders would
be filled and sent to them if desired
These singers are well worth hearing and
we believe intend giving some concerts
here exclusively for whites, and as such 2
sesies given by them in Richmond were
crowded, we suppose they will be the SANE
here. Fhey certainly give one of the mos,
novel and enjoyable entertainments thai
our readers are likely to have an opportu-
nifty Of enjoying for long time.

CEAsE's COMPOUND has acquired really an en-
viable reputation; in fact, it has met with I'M
precedented success Never has there been
medicine before the people that has given such
universal satisfaction. Those who once use it
will not be without it. All look upon it as a
blessing in time of affection, and children who
can but lisp its name call for it when they are
suffering with aches and pains. They have the
evidence of hundreds of our best citizens, who
claim for it as a family medicine that it has no
equal, and we advise all who are suffering from
Neuralgia, Rheumatism, or aches and pains Of
any kind to try it, as it will surely give imme-
diate relief 1t is also highly spoken of by
those who have used it in cases of Bruises,
Sprains Sore Throat, &c. 1t is home medi
