A Horrible Accident.
Capt. schr. Frank Hutchinson
March 9th, 1855.

The north bound train passing TaSley
at 1880 on Monday night, struck Ed
ward F. East, within onehundred yards
of his house, managing him in the most
horrible manner. The body was ground
almost as fine rs sausage meat, and
strcwcd along the tract for over sixty
feet. He had been to the station, and
the testimony at the inquest showed he
was considerably under the effects OF
liquor. His hat was found opposite his
house, nearly a hundred yards from
where the first blood was found, and
parts of his clothing were found quar-
ter of mile away. Whether he was ly-
ing asleep on the track, or was Knocked
over by the train, or was killed and
placed there will never he known. The
inquest could throw but little light on
the subject. 1t is probable though, That
he went to sleep on the track while I'M
der the influence of liquor and in that
condition met his awful death.

EDITOR OF ENTERPRIsE.-You will
please permit to occupya small space
in the columns or ENTERPRISE, in ref
ercnce to the faithful and efficient ser
vice of our oyster police force. 1t is
not ouly my opinion, but that of alluth-
Ell oystermen, that Capt. E. J. Corhin
has faithfully discharged his duty i'll
protecting the oysters i'll Tangier Sound
and our reason for that opinion, is that
never ut the close of the dredging sea-
son have we ever known oysters so
plentiful i'll Tangier Sound as at present,
and we are confident that if they can be
protected during the summer, there
will be an abundance of oysters in Tan
gier sound the next dredging season
for the use Of Virginians. l have
never seen as many young oysters us
there are right Oh the State line, the
point where the Marylanders would
have had the best opportunities to catch
them if they had not been we'll protect
ed. | am informed that on the Mary
land side of the line where oystermen-
eould readily catch 500 bushels day at
the beginning of the season, they can
now hardly catch 50 bushels day, and
had not our Virginia beds been carefully
protected they would have been in the
same condition. The above information
is of interest to many of your readers,
and you will please publish and oblige
Yours very respectfully,
S. T. Die,
