Terrible Accident to a Boy.

GRAFTON, w. VA, January H.
Little Charley Herman, son of James
Herman, met with terrible accident
about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
and which terminated fatally few
hours later. Charley, who was be-
II and Ii years of age was playing
about the freight trains in the yards,
near the new freight depot, and had
climbed on top of the cars as a freight
pulled out toward Fetterman. By
some mistake he fell between the
cars and across the track in such a
way that leg was crushed almost
to jelly, eight cars passing over
him. One of his little companions
ran to him and supported him while
couple more of them came into
town for physician. The little
sufferer bore up heroically, and was
removed to his fathers, on Main
street, where he died some hours la
ter Great sympathy is expressed for
the family in this sad affection.

The Gas Works Nearing Completion.

The work of laying the gas pipes
in Morgantown has progressed rapid
ly and will be completed in all
probability by Saturday next. Su-
perintendent Grant informs the New
DOMINION that barring accidents he
will have the gas in use throughout
the town by February 1st. Prof T..
M. Jackson finished locating the
line between the gas well and this
place on Friday last, and the con-
tract to deliver the pipe from the
well to the Usage Mills was let to
Clark c. Wade on Saturday, which
insures the work to be well and
promptly done. The, trenches
throughout the town are almost fin
ished, though the pipe is not all down,
for the reason that a large lot of fit
ings were delayed in transit several
days. Some Of our people are al
ready having the pipes put into their
houses.

causing insansibility very quickly in a
human being breathing its fumes. The
effect is equivalent temporarily to a
paralytic stroke. Now. nitrate Of

even more vulnerable than the LIGHT
cru s,rS, for they would be sucking
down great draughts Of air through

ueVeF after that stroke OF sorrowfu, fort
une known TO be; for all pleasure went
out into blank solitude with the flight OF
Lady Fercival's gentle spirit.
The merry makers and social visitors who,
In Lady Perciyal's time, thronged the hlth
erto ccnvivial atmosphere of Heatherleigh,
gradually dropped of after her demise,
never again to enter the hall as welcome
guests. Every thing changed at the Hall
under the masters regime, until, in time,
not 2 solitary visitor came TO cheer or
break the silent mouotony of its desolation.
Sir Rupert was given TO morose and mel
ancholy days, and IL was no wonder, under
his spell, and grew to be an uhospitable
old gentleman who, in his seventeen year,
had come 10 even dislike a merry face.
Miriam had but few associates or visit
ors that she dared entertain at the Hall on
this account; aud under the influence Of
such distasteful solitude she grew taolturn
and sOrrawful The shadows Of her UNI
favorable abode told on her, and all the
vlvacity and freshness of her young life
seemed degenerating into passionless ex-
istence in the frigidity of the Hall
No wonder; even the servants became
glum after the sunshine of Lady PeTcivals
heart went out from their day, and they
moved silently or with smothered grumble
In their respective grooves under the chill
ing influence of Sir Rupert's unsociahle
reign.
But there came time, as it comes to all,
whether their lines be sad or joyous, a
break in the home life of the pale, silent
daughter
This change happened to Miriam when
the tide of time set to the strange, JVyless
shores Of the fatality that decreed tho
shutting of the doors of Heatherleigh
against her, leaving her to drift away ~
sorrows mists from its grandeur forever
What had befallen her unlucky relatives
had at last fallen with vengeful hand on
Che pale, proud daughter Of the Percivals.
We sat and talked Of her. IN the dull
cleaning of the autumn night SO betting

Of the angry elements sweeping around
the Han. BY tCe mean the old housekeeper
and her husband, who were still occupying
the servants quarters, as l had rightly
heard. 1t was in accordance with Sir Ru-
pert's wishes that this faithful couple still
kept their rooms in the west wing, and oc-
casionally showed curious visitors over the
main building. In the absence Of vsitants
the Hall was kept locked, and the supersti-
tiOus old pair never intruded on It's dismal
silence alone.

A SAIL ALLOWANCE.
Why II Should he Given with Regularity
to All Dairy stack
[To BIZ CONTINUED j

Why It Should he Given with Regularity
to All Dairy Stock,
We have always maintained that
COWS should be given a stated allow
ance Of salt at regular intervals. if
they We're not sailed by that better
plan-having salt placed where they
could have free access TO il at all
times This has been urged in order
that the cows might have what they
wanted and not take enough at one
time to disarrange their digestive or
gans. ANY one who has given az
tention to the matter of sailing dairy
cows, knows that they are better for
having salt. and having it regularly.
Now. the Americ an Dairyman tells us
why we salt them
As soon rs the food enters the
stomach the natural tendency is for
fermentation to begin. and there
arises a contest between this ten
dency and the digestive powers. And
if these powers are vigorous and the
process of fermentation Is checked or
intercepted, then no bad results will
follow; the food will be digested, and
salt will not be needed. though at any
time this will assist in the process Of
digestion. Salt keeps food from de-
caying until it can be digested and
assimllated. and prolongs the time TO
allow the digestive organs TO COM
plete their work; and If food is taken
in excess, as often happens when stock
is in pasture. salt given frequently
will be of much advantage. And
further, salt IS preventive Of
worms When fermentation sets in.
the cond ions presented are favor
able to the condition Of the worms in
the intestinal canals. and may posi-
bly, be engeudered by the process.
Consequently it should be a rule with
the stockmen TO keep salt before their
cattle. or within easy reach when
they need it. and the cattle viii obey
the demands OF nature. and supply the
want as needed. Farm, Field and

down and scattered abroad leaving the old
