DtsrRssslSa AccIDEHr.-At mid
day on Christmas, says the Virginia
Chronicle, MISS Susan Trewella, an
sstiuasbls young lady nineteen years
at age, fell from a swing, breaking
her jaw and both legs. She was en-.
joying that day at her home on Ridge
ssrcet, near the Julia mine, with q
companion, aud the two in n frolic.
some mood resorted to the swing in
the yard, and probably indulged in
more careless aud dangerous flights
than prudence would have dictated.
Miss Trewella was swinging and her
friend was pushing at the time, no
one else being present. When the
swing had reached an elevation esti-
mated II ten feet its occupant, either
from, dizziness, sudden sickness or
some other cause, lost her hold and
fell to the ground. She was quickly
picked up by her friends who were
called u the scene by the frightened
screams of her companion and taken
intu the house. DR.. Grant Was sum-
moned, but when he arrived found
the conditions net favorable to an
immediate reduction OF the fra lures,
which was deferred until Yesterday.
But u hssty examination showed that
both lcgs were broken about half
way between the knee and thigh,
and the jaw badly fractured.

Found DEAD.-At about 1 l o'clock
on Monday night miner named
James McVity was found dead on the
170O-foot level Of the Gould s. Curry
mine. The deceased, who was the
only man in the mine at the time,
was engaged as station tender at
the 1500-foot station. The Com
stock reporters weave an interesting
tale, suppositions, in large degree,
but yet believable, about this miners
death. They think that, all the men
else being of out the mine duly cele-
brating Christmas time, that unfor-
tunate one took a notion to explore
the mysteries of the Curry and gather
some information as to its condition
with respect to ore or the want of it.
1t must be admitted as not bad idea
on the part Of the deceased-suppos-
ing him to have entertained it-and
one that might have been fraught
with substantial results in certain
conditions. Perhaps he held Curry
stock or stock in some mine contigu.
Gus, aud was usurping u RICH. not
usually granted in such cases to ex-
anime and estimst the worth Vt his
DroDerty. However this NAV h.. he
was found dead sufficient distance
from his post and with surrounding
evidence ample to warrant a belle {
that his wandering was irregular and
for some purpose other than that for
which lie was hired.

gravated case Of pugnacity, lasting,
it Is said, upward of an hour. in the
region OF the old foundry yesterday.
The casus belli or any Of the details

unknown to Us. They are unimport-
ant a. compared with the weighty
considerations OF the day, anyhow.
The most important point ut infor-
mation about the business is that it
will come before Judge Gould tor

A GIFT UNAPrREcrATED.- Mr.. Z,
w. Gowan went to San Francisco q
few weeks ago to purchase goods,
and while down there he formed the
acquaintance of some estimable and
appreciative people. They were sorry
to have him come away, and he
might not have come did not the de.
mands Of business force him to. Az
testimonial Of the high esteem in
which he was held by those people
and as an evidence that they have not
forgotten him, nearly every mail tor
the past week has brought some me.
mento, some token of friendship and
pleasant recollection, triling in in.
trinsic value, to be sure, but still
priced highly because of the kindli.
ness of which it gave earnest.
Yesterdays mail brought package
done up most neatly and addressed
in the same manner by a manifest
feminine hand The recipient opened
1t with pardonable enthusiasm in the
presence of a cOterie OF congrst uiatory
friends, who regretted in open re.
marks that they too were not favored
similarly. When the outer wrappers
were carefully parted with nervous
fingers, and ut length the inner con-
tents were revealed, there was an up
roar Of laughter and corpulent mer-
chant wofuily crestfallen. The pack.
age contained nothing more than a
half dozen of James almanacs for
1877.
