few days preceding his death. For
many years he has been a Ruling Ell

place, and in the fullness of years, es-
teemed and honored by all who knew
him, he has been gathered to his
fathers and entered upon that rest
which remaineth to the people of
God. He was in his nth year. The
funeral took place this forenoon and
was largely attended. The church
was draped in mourning the services
were conducted by the pastor, Rev.

Narrow Escape From Drowning.

On Saturday last, Levi T. F. Grim,
proprietor of the Grim Hotel, Win
chester, Va, and his son, Frank Grim,
aged about IS, made narrow escape
from what might have proved wa
terry grave, at the "gap ford" of the
South Branch, about two miles from
Petersburg. They were ON their
way to Beverly, Mr.. Grim owning
land in Randolph county. They in
quired the road to Petersburg, at the
toll gate, near Moorefeld, and were
directed to take the back road, and
not informed as to the river, by the
careless las they claim) person at the
toll-gate. This route brought them
to dangerous ford, by circuitous
and a rough road. The river was
flushed, but was fordable at BuZzard
ford half a mile from the toll gate.
Mr.. G. had an extra buggy attached
to the one he occupied, for sale. The
river was very swift, washing the
buggies around, and soon the horse
gave up and refused to go further,
gradually washing down stream,
while their baggage was carried away.
The boy finally took to the water and
pulled for the shore, as best he could.
He was carried down; but succeeded
in making a landing. He went in
pursuit of assistance, but had mile
to go, and darkness was coming on.
After an hour and half of terrible
suspense, a colored man rode in on
horseback, and taking the horse by
the head, managed to get him to the
shore. Mr.. G.. says at one time his
hope failed, and he expected to be
submerged. His loss is about $50.
They spent day in town drying out
and left their buggies here and took
the stage for Keyser.-Peters6ayg

CIRCUIT CoURT.-In our last issue
we gave synopsis of portion of the
proceedings Of our Circait Court at
its August Term. Judge Faulkner
did not sit during the term. Judge
Fleming of the Marion Circuit acting
throughout the term. Two interest
ing jury cases were tried in addition
to the chancery business. The one
was the bastardy case of a white wo-
man named Keller against Charles
Mccullough, colored boy from the
neighborhood of Paw Paw. Verdict
for the defendant. The long pending
case of Andrew Fisher against the
B. & o. r. r. Co.. was finally dis
posed of after elaborate argument by
Hon. E. B. Faulkner for the railroad
company and j. S. Duckwall, ESQ.,,
for Fisher. Verdict for Fisher for
$4,000. Fisher bought an excursion
ticketat Sir Johns Run to Winches-
ter and return. His return ticket was
taken up by the conductor between
Winchester and Harper's Ferry and
not returned to him as it should have
been. After leaving Martinsburg
Fisher was put off the train because
he had no ticket. This occurred on
a different train from the one that
carried Fisher from Winchester to
Martinsburg, the regular excursion
train stopping at the latter place.
The conductor who elected Fisher
from his train was not the one who
took up Fishers ticket between Win
chester and Martinsburg, nor was he
or his train in any way connected
with the excursion train, but Fish
er's return ticket entitled him to take
any train from Martinsburg to Sir
Johns Run.
