PAINFUL ACCIDENTS.-Wc regret to an
nounce that Col. Jno. Lewis Peyton, of
''Steephill," near this city, met with 4 very
painful and serious accident last Tuesday
evening. Whilst riding along the side of q
hill on his farm, in new spring wagon, the
wheel struck an obstacle, and the springs
being stiff and strong, he was thrown from
his seat. In attempting to prevent falling
on his face, he threw out his right leg and
endeavored to catch himself Being very
on his leg, the bone just above the ankle
was crushed in fearful manner. He was
conveyed to his house and surgical aid
Immediately summoned. Drs. Waddell and
Atkinson, of this city, and Mcclure, of Rich
mond, were promptly on hand, and after
consultation, concluded that amputation
was necessary, land proceeded at once to per-
form the operation. The Colonel bore with
stoical fortitude the painful operation, and
afterwards slept soundly during the night
He is now doing we'll.
TO a man of his active habits the conflne-
ment will prove almost rs hard to bear as
the wound itself, but we trust he may soon
be able to be out again. In the meantime
he has the sincere sympathy OF a large num-
Der OF friends.
On Monday DR.. Jno. Graham, of Rock
bridge, had his leg broken in an almost SIM
liar manner, having been thrown from a
buggy. DIR. Waddell, OF this city, was tel
graphed for, and adjusted the broken limb.
The patient is now doing well.

interest in the paper to Mr.. J. NJ. Ferguson.
For his experience, DR.. Jones has certainly
filled the chair admirably, and has shown
himself man, not only of ability. but of
independence, and his writings always had
the ring of true metal. Mr.. Ferguson, we
doubt not, will leave no stone untnrned that
will contribute to the interest OF his paper,
and we wish him every success.

This church cost between five and SIX
thousand dollars. The design of the build
inc was made in 1S6S, and the work begun
in 1872 on a lot generously donated by Mr..
T. Fl. Antrim. who is member OF the Pres
byterian Church. The Rev. Mr.. Ball, after
the sermon, made some remarks in reference
to the history of the Methodist Church here,
but not having complete data could not give
complete history. This church has exists
ed since Waynesboro' was town. 1t wa
at first log house, then Il small frame
building, and now it has spread itself, like
green bay tree, and erected this substan-
tial and beautiful house of worship. 1t is
handsomely frescoed, amply lighted, and
having a neat gallery. The pews were man
ufactured at the factory OF Mr.. 4. W. Lam
bert. and for finish and design cannot be
excelled. The pulpit stand, altar, and
aisles are handsomely carpeted, and on one
corner was placed New England organ,

TO TELL THE AGE OF Fowls.

10 ELL HE AGE OF L CIV Las.
If a hens spur is hard and the
scales Of the legs are rough she is DID,
whether you see her head or not; but
her head will c0rroborate your obser-
walton. If the under bill is so stiff
that you cannot bend it down, and the
comb thick and rough. leave her, no
matter how fat and plump, for some
one less particular. A young hon has
only the rudiments Of spurs; the
scales ON the legs are smooth, glossy
and fresh colored, whatever the color
may be, the claws tender and short,
the nails sharp, the under bill soft and
the comb thin and smooth.
An old turkey has rough scales on
the legs, callosities on the soleS Of the
feet, and long strong claws; a young
one the reverse OF all these marks
When the feathers are on, the old tur.
key cock has long tuft or beard; 9
young one but sprouting one, anC
when they are off the smooth scales
on the legs decide the point, best de-
the difference in size of the wat< es
nf the neck and in the elastic shoe
upon the neck.
An old goose, when alive, is known
by the rough legs, the strength Of .tilf
wings particularly at the pinions, the
thickness and strength of the bill anC
fineness of the feathers, and whel
plucked by the legs, the tenderness Of
the skin under the wings, by the pin
ions and the bill and the coarseness o.
the skin. s.
Ducks are distinguished by the same
means, but there is the difference tina
a ducklings bill is much longer il
proportion to the breadth of the hea(
than the old ducks.
