\ WoUSDED MAN IN AN UNCOMFORTABLE
PosITIoN.-Last week 4 negro man, alleged
to have been "stealing IL ride was thrown
from freight train OF the Chesapeake and
Ohio road while in motion. He fell under
the car. which ran over his ankle and cut
his heel and the whole bottom of his foot
of. rendering him entirely helpless. He
was placed in the engine-house and left to
the tender mcrcies of chance. The citizens
of Gordonsville are exempted from general
road duty on the condition that the corpora
ton take care of its poor. We do not know
whose :.poor'' this wounded negro may be,
but it is clearly the duty OF the authorities
here to see that he be provided with all the
attentions usually accorded paupers; and it
argues cruel indifference to suffering hui
mainly FOR them to take no notice ut all OF
him. G0rd0nsuiNe Gazette.
