YOUNG LADY DRoWNED.-Miss -
Evans, a young lady about twenty years of
age, residing about seven miles from Gov
ington on the G. " O. Railroad, started fer
that village on horseback last Monday. In
crossing Jackson's river, about a mile east
of Covlngton, the horse fell, throwing her
off. She chung to a rock, and as the water
was only about two feet in depth, might
haye walked out. Some employees of the
railroad, at wor!k some distance off, saw
her condition and started to her assistance.
Either terror or the intense cold made her
lose her hold on the rock, and she was
swept off by the stream, which is rapid at
that point, and drifted a few feet down
when she disappeared under the ice and
was MOI seen again. She was a young per-
son of unusual personal beauty, and was
highly esteemed by her n%eighbors and
friends.
WHERE THE NEEDLES Go To.-A day
or two ago, the wife of Capt. John H.
Woodward, on Coalter street, ripped up a
pin cushion which had been in use for
three years, and found in it 264 Needles
being about eleven papers, all in good con-
dition and brightly polished by the saw
dust contents Of the cushion. An article
went the rounds lately s-eaded ''Whele the
Pins Go to- but this is where the needles
go to. It is to be hoped that every mar
ried man in Staunton, will this morning
order the stufing to be knocked out of
every pin cushion in the house. We must
have Reform.
