Accident to a Little Colored Boy.

On Wednesday, MI. John r. Brook, who
owns farm south of Montgomery Hall,
near this city, was cutting grass with his
mower in front of his residence. He had
finished one piece, and was at a little dis
lance under some apple trees, when he
called to a seven-year-old colored boy,
named Bumgardner, to bring him his whip.
Mr.. B. went on cutting, and as the limbs
of the trees We're hanging low he had to
keep his head down, and did not see the
little fellow who was approaching with the
whip. just as the mower renched the
clearing the boy, who happened to be on
the side opposite to Nh. B., stepped in
front of the mower, and had his left leg cut
off six inches above the ankle. Mr.. B. at
once took his handkerchief and bound it
tightly around the injured limb, which
stopped the flow Of blood and undoubtedly
saved the little fellows life. Dr.. Shelton
was called and rendered the necessary aid
He reports the boy as doing well. Nh.
Brook is very much worried over the
accident

A YOUNG STAUNTONIAN' S DESCRIPTION OF
THE LIFE OF COWBOYS IN TEXAS.

A YOUNG STAUNTONIAN' S DESCRIPTION OF
THE LIFE OF COWBOYS IN TEXAS.
''Ten us something about the cowboys, ,
asked our reporter, to a young friend who
has just returned from Texas, and had
dropped in at the VINDICAToRs Office to
shake hands with some of his acquaintance
'Wen," said he, ''many enthusi.
astic young Vifginians have an erroneous
idea as to the pleasures of a cowboys life
as taken from dime novels and conned over
bya comfortable fi1eside, but in reality it
is far from pleasant, being wretchedly
dull and monotonous life: four months out
of the year being given to branding and six
months to herding and feeding, and when
he returns to the house tired and wet he is
made a drudge of by the housewife and has
to split wood, light the fires and wash the
dishes, SO you see it is not all charming sun
shine and free riding. The horses used are
small and thin and get no food except what
they pick up on the prairies, but they can
stand an immense amount Of travel and
seldom break down. The cowboys are
very sklllful i'll breaking these animals but
have so far, found no way of curing them
of the pernicious habit of bucking. which
is inherited and is as natural to the Texas
mustang as eating. You can buy these an
imals at any price from $40 to $50 and the
Mexican burro, which is the same as the
English donkey, and much used by chill
dren, is frequently given away and never
exceeds in cost S."
''How about the wild shooting that we
read of in the papers ?'' was the next
question.
cat San Antonio they are forbidden to
carry weapons either concealed Oh other
wise, as they had a playful way of amusing
themselves shooting the plate glass out of
the windows of the stores as they passed
through the streets, which the authorities,
strange to say, had the pluck to object to,
and stopped it most effectually."
