SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO THE Hon w.
II. II. FrLcK-We deeply regret TO
learn that the above named gentleman,
who was ca nvassing the 2nd district in
the interest Of Martinsburg for capital
location, met with quite serious acct
dent last Thursday. 1t seems that Mr..
4. b. Faulkner, each in seperate bug
gies, was on his way TO Circleville, in
Pendleton county. About midway,
Mr.. Flick's horse SHE'D at some object
and leaping to the opposite side of the
road, ran the buggy over boulder and
upset it. Mr. Flick was thrown ont,
ard would have escaped unhurt, but the
horse started TO run and Mr. f., in his
attempt 10 stop him, which he finally
succeeded doing, was dragged on the
ground a considerable distance by the
frightened animal, bruisipg one Of his
legs severely. Mr.. f. proceeded TO
Circlevile and there bad his limb dress
ed by physician, and then continued
his journey to Petersburg, in Grant
county, where he was compelled TO
stop on account of the painfulness Of
his wound. Since then Mrs. Flick and
his daughter have joined him, the latter
having been taken very i'll on her arriy-
al with typhoid fever. Our latest intel
lgence from Mr.. Flick is that erysipelas
has set in and that his condition is ex-
trelnely critical The sympathies of
this whole community go out to him
and his afflicted little one, very bright
and loving child, and if the prayers OF
friends can avail We may hope that both
will be speedily restored to health

mans criticism on the Episcopal BIsh-

The Wheeling Intelligencer as we
observe, rather inclines to the restora-

rascals that spring I'd In all commnui-
