The Roanoke Daily Timc says: Nicholas
/ Franklin, a lhirteen-year-old son OF Mr.
j. r. Franklin, of Campbell street, was
I the victim of terrible accident yester-
day. lie is employed at Crozers Furnace
by the storekeeper, Mr.. +. w. Allan. Early
yesterday morning, a colord boy entered
ms room, and picking mp pistol, snap
ped il around carclessly until the weapon
exploded and sent bullet into his nose

The Stanton J'mdicator says The w,
W. and Southwestern railway which, if
built, is to run by Stanton on its way
from Washington city to the Southwest,
continues to show slight stir Shenan-
doah citizens have subscribed to l0l
shares; among the subscribers being such
practical men at d. S. lIonkol, Rosen-
berger II Shirley, j. " Brenaman, G. G.
IIenkel. and others. The amount snb-
scribed in Shenandoah is conditioned upon
its being applied to the road constructor
in the limits OF that county. The shares
are SO each. A meeting was held last
week, at Fairfax c. H., at which it was
stated that n London syndicate would
furnish $4,000, 900 to the building of the
road, taking the company's per cent.
bonds for 30 years. A committee was APP
pointed to solicit local subscriptions to
the road. The Fairfax Herah thinks the
prospect for the road is not very encourag-
ing Int landhoders can safely subscribe,
''because they canot he called upon for
their subscriptions until work is actually
commenced"
The Page Courier says: Two little boys
about six years old, one the son of Mr..
Henry Gochenour, and the other OF Mr..
Joseph 5. Foster, had narrow escape
recently from a fearful death. While Mr..
G's mill was shut down they climbed up
TO aud took their seat on wheel or pulley
on an upright shaft, which, when the
mil is in motion, makes about thirty
revolutions to the minute. Mr.. g., know
ing nothing Of their movements, turning
on the water, started his mill and went
to his house short distance away
Sitting there ten or fifteen minutes later,
he heard the cries of the boys and sent
one Of his little girls to tell them to stop
their noise. She returned in moment
terrified to tell OF the peril of the little
| fellows. When rescused they were quite
faint and sick and fully determined to
give wide berth to mill wheels in the
future. .... Elder Perry, Of this place, has
received the sad intelligence Of the fatal
injury Of his nephew, Marion Perry, son
of Mr.. VIM. Perry, Of Rappahannock
county, which occurred at Mobile few
days ago. The letter conveying the in
! formation states that Young Perry, who
was a commercial traveller we think, had
fallen in attempting to jump from one
train to another, and had ruptured a
blood vessel, from which the physician
said it was hardly possible for him to
survive through the night. Young Mr..
Perry was well known in Lnray, having
lived here with his uncle when he owned
this paper, and was for several months an
affacte Of this Office. lie was a young
man Of many noble qualities of both
head and heart, and we tender our pro
foundcst sympathy to ms grIefstrickcn
parents.
