Accidentally Killed His little Brother
with an Axe.

\ correspondent Of the llillSville Vir-
qiniaa narratos the following As happening
IN Carroll county, Va:
:" \ sad and fatal accident happened at
the home OF w. II. Gilley, on Big Reed
island, ten miles northeast OF Iiillsyillc. re-
Gently. Mr.. GiIley had lett his axe at the
wood-shed, where his two sons. Charles
Marion and Benjamin Franklin, whose
ages were respectively seven and four
years. shortly after went TO play. Benney
seated himself on stick OF wood about six
inches in diameter, and Charley picked up
the axe and struck the stick twice, which,
we suppose, caused 1t to turn, and Benney
was thrown forward with his leg just where
his brother aimed the third blow, and OF
course his leg received the blow instead OF
the stick. His leg was nearly amputated,
and the blood flowed so freely that h" sur
vived only three and half hours. Neigh
bors were called In and physician sent
for, but did not arrive in time"

A Grand Old Tree Cut Down.

WHICH, IF 1T COULD SPEAK, GRAPHICALLY
THIS TALE OF BLOOD WOULD UNFOLD.
The Pdqe NeicS gives the following III
tercsting narrative:
Mr.. George Bauserman, living on the
Shenandoah river, near BiXlcr's ferry, one
day last week felled Il large elm tree, whicu
stood at his spring, that has very inter
estng history. The property now owned
by Mr.. Bauscrman WAS, in the early days of
the settlement OF this Valley, owned by
Rev. Johr Roads, q Mcnouist preacher.
This gentleman and his family lived in Il
house that stood near this spring, and this
elm tree was within the enclosure around
the yard. In the latter part Of August,
177G, a party OF eight Indians, led by n
worthless white villain, crossed POwelfs
Fort TO the south fork Of the Shenandoah,
and proceeded TO the residence OF Mr.
Roads. Roads, his wife. and three
Of his sons were murdered. Mr.. Roads
was standing in his door when he was
shot, and fell dead. Mrs. Roads and
one of her sons were killed in the yard
under this elm tree. MIR. ROads'S eldest
daughter, Elizabeth, took her little sister,
aged sixteen or eighteen months, ran into
the barn and secured the door. An Indian
pursued her. and upon her refusal to open
the door he returned far fire, and viii c
zone she escaped through the Oppo-
ste side of The building, ran through q
field of tail hemp, crossed the river, and
cot safe 10 neighbours house, thus saving
herself and sister. Two sons and two
daughters were taken of as prisoners.
One Of the boys and both the girls were
barbarously killed ii the head Of Powell's
Fort. The other son remained in captiv-
ity about three years. This tree is about
four feel in diameter, and its appearance
sufficiently indicates its great age. That I
is the identical tree that stood IN the yard
Of MIR. Roads, and under which members
of the family were murdered, can be proven

The Mississippi Flood.
A MORE HOPEFUL VIEW,

NEW ORLEANS, March 1.-THE Nicks-
burg Herald SAYS: "The situation OF the
people OF the Valley is bad enough without
having it exaggerated. The great sensa-
tons that have been printed and pictured
OF The situation have, in our opinion, done
great harm. Where creYasseS have oc-
cured the land, or the greater portion OF it,
l.. for the time being, lost. There are very
many portions Of the Valley uninjured a.
yet. and we have no doubt that fair crops
will be raised in almost all portions Of the
Valley. While the people in many places
are Inconvenience and losing some Of
their live stock, they are not In such a
dreadful plight as has been described, a.
there are two months before the cotton
time is past. and the water i almost sure
TO subside In time to raise crops"
NARKsyIILE, La, March 1.-THE Re-
Uicic says: But what OF these oyerflows
that carry so much dread with them? DO
they not enrich the land, and are not
heavier crops made upon them? We in
cline TO the opinion that, in point OF fact,
inundation. are beneficial"
LITTLE Rock, March 1.-THE waters
are reported falling in the overlooked dis
tricts, but stories OF suffering continue to
come in, and the number OF the destitute
is constantly Increasing.

vention to be held in Music Hall on the

excitement under which the shooting was
done and the claim that his punishment
has already been sufficient 70 meet the de-
mands OF military discipline.
