CRUSHED BY THE CARs.-On last Friday svea-
ing, about O'Clock, Mr.. John POWELL, a native
OF Albemarle, but recently a resident of this
city, met with sad death at Midway, between
Charlottesville and the University. In attempt-
ing to couple the caboose to the train, of which
he was conductor, he was caught between the
bumpers and fatally crushed. He only lived q
few minutes after the accident, and the.biood
gushed so rapidly from his mouth and nostrils
that he was unable tospeak although he several
times made an effort to do so.
His remains were brought to Staunton on
Saturday and on Sunday at 10 O'Clock 4. NJ.
were deposited in Thornrese Cemetery. The
funeral rites were conducted by Rev. Dr Man.
~ ana We're attended by a large concoursa OF
sympathizing friends.
The deceased was young man of great
worth and had by strict adherence to his duty
risen from the position of brakeman on the
c. q .. r. R., to that of conductor. He was
married only few months ago to Miss Miller
of this city, who thus early is called upon to
mourn tie untimely taking off of the partner
OF her Joys and SORROWS.

have tops, stills, popguns blowguns,
magic lanterns, kaleidoscopes, wax figures,
terra Gotta animals, flying fish and dra-
goons, masks puzzles and games, butter
flies and beetles that flutter about, tur-
ties that move their legs and pop out
their heads, birds that fly about and peck
the fingers and whistle, pasteboard tar

they are rolled up in silk paper and pack
