Accident on the Rail.

The fast tram for thu East, which reach
ed here at 10 A. NJ, Wedn esday, stopped
at West End and put off Mr.. VIM. Wren,
an engineer ON one of the G. & o. freights
at his residence near the road. Mr.. Wren
had his left ankle badly crushed at Will
liamsons that morning at 5 O'Clock. He
had left Staunton the night before, and
while making up his train the next morn
ing, was standing on side track count
ing the Gals. when a train came upon
him which he could not hear, owing to the
noise from his own engine. He was struck
by the pilot and thrown under it, his leg
being caught against the track and injur-
ed as stated.
! DR.. Gibson, the Surgeon Of the Compa
ny for this Division of the road had been
telegraphed and met the wounded man
and after an examination and consulta
ton with Drs. Wayt and Reese, decided
on amputating the limo half way between
the ankle and knee, which was promptly
and sk1lfully done with the assistance Of
those gentlemen.
The patient is dong well considering
his delicate constitution. He is a worthy
and Industrious man and has wife and
two children entirely dependent upon his
wages for their support: The accident is
therefore serious one for them, and we
understand that he had a policy in rail

had unfortunately expired few days be-

Fatal Accident.

A telegram was received here on Tues
day last by W. J. Morrison, Esq.,, an
nouncing the death of Mr.. VIM. bold of
Lexington, his cousin, by being thrown
from horse. Later intelligence shows
that Mr.. Dold Was riding on colt and his
horse ran against the wheels Of DR.. Ora
hams carriage and becoming frightened
ran off throwing Mr.. Dold upon the curb
stone and killing him. Mr.. Dold was
about So years of age and in appearance
bore strong resemblance to Mr.. Morri-
son. He was for many years merchant
in Lexington and was a gentleman who
occupied high place in the esteem of his
fellow citizens Of Lexington and Rock
bridge. He was brother of Hon. Calvin
M. Dold, Mayor of Lexington, whose
stanton friends were much shocked on
Wednesday by rumor that it was he, in
stead of his brother, who had been killed.

Affairs at Willow Spout.
[Reported for the Staunton VINDIcAToR.]

lReported for the Staunton VINDIcAToR.J
In the many communications that [
have seen in the Staunton papers. l have
yet to see one from this highly favored
community, remarkable for its intelli-
gence, thrift, and morality. Here is the
Old Stone Church with its one hundred
and fifty years of history, with still visl-
BILE marks OF the wall that surrounded the
Old Fort from which the depot derives its
name. Under the very droppings of this
sanctuary lives the oldest man in the
State, old uncle Sydney Crawford, who'
from the best information, furnished by
Mrs. DIR. Norman and Mrs. Col. Frank
lin McCue, daughters of the late Major
Crawford, who owned this remarkable old
man, is 108 years old. I called to see him
this morning and had long conversation
with him. His faculties are remarkably
we'll retained and he has his second sight.
He recognized me twenty steps off. His
hearing is good, teeth excellent and not a
bald place on his head. He talks freely
about the past and is anxious to attend
the Yorktown Celebration and exhibit
himself as fair specimen of a Virginia
darkey.
Last night the Willow Spout was en-
livened by an apple butter boiling, and
among the assistants was another curiosi-
ty of African descent, sold Aunt Nina"
who says she is $50 Though she is only
about 9O). She attends all apple butter
boilings and funerals, and says that she
greatly prefers funeral to a wedding.
Her style of dress is peculiar to herself
which consists of broad-brimmed chip hat
trimmed with band Of Grape for the last
funeral, yellow cotton dress after the
bloomer style touching the tops of huge
pair of boots. She las always been free,
and 1t is said has hid somewhere, nobody
knows, two coffee pots full of specie.
The father, mother and two sisters Of
the Rev. Alex. Sprunt are visiting him at
this time. They are Scotch people, highly
intelligent and just enough of the Scotch
brogue to add interest to their conversa-
tion. Their home is in Wilmington, N.
G.
The Augusta Male Academy will open
its next session ON the 18th, inst, under
the judicious management Of its efficient
Principal, Capt. Z. S. Roller, whose pros
poets are flattering.
Arrangements are about completed to
have female school at the famous Willow
Spout property under the auspices of Mrs.
Kinnear, daughter of VIM. Rock, ESQ.,,
your well known commission merchant.
Mrs. Kinnear comes highly recommended
for her accomplishments, and talent for
imparting instruction.
The property of Mr.. VIM. Crawford, de-
ceased, was appraised yesterday.
The wheat has not yielded up to the ex-
pectations of the farmers, but the advance
in price will compensate in a great meas
ure for the scarcity.
Mr. Geo. B. Crawford has closed out
his stock of goods at Fort Defiance and
has sold out to Mr.. Sherman of Mt. Sid
ney, MCGoNAGAN.
