The infant child of Mr.. and Mrs. Chas.
Klgey, died Sunday morning of pneu-
mona. its illness was mentioned in our
communication two weeks ago.
Mr.. William McShane, had the sad mis-
fortune to have his left leg broken on
Friday afternoon last, between the knee
aud thigh, whilst blasting rock for pike
purposes. 1t seems that when the blast
exploded it threw a rock IN the direction
of Mr.. McShane, which struck him on the
side, or back part of the leg, with the
above result. He was blasting rock on
the Tldler Bros. land at the north end of
town at the time of the accident. He was
conveyed 10 his home by friends, and the
broken limb was adjusted by DR.. G. C..
Henkel. Mr.. McShane has been very
unfortunate man, as only B or years ago
he lost his right eye by spawl while
sledging rock, aud in May last while break
IDg rock, one Cain Smith a notorious col
ored scOundrel fell upon him and came very
near beating the life out OF him, which
effects him more or less at this time. He
a so has been a cripple in the same limb
that was broken for years from natural
causes, perhaps rheumatism. Truly he is to
Re pitIed, aud in fact has the sympathies
OF all of his acquaintances who know his
misfortune.
The sick alluded to in these dispatches
of last week are improving We regret
to add to the list Mrs. Nellie (TOm) Cline
dlnst. 1t will be remembered that she
lost her husband only a few years ago
from typhoid fever which diseave she
has now.
Harvey PollOrd, an old but very much
respected cOlored person, met with a Sc
rious accident last Friday, by being
kicked by horse whilst he was grooming
him. he was kicked about the shoulders
and head and suffers considerable pain,
but it is thought he will recover soon.
We learn that Rev. Mr.. Hurn, of West
Virginia, Will fill the appointment of the
NJ. Z. church, which Rev. Mr.. Hammond,
yacates on account of i'll health.
Stock sale day on Saturday last. was
largely attended, and there were present
several horse buyers, but the horse
owners thought the prices ranged too low
and continue to hold, consequently very
few horses changed hands.
Messrs. Henkel & Price, started their
engine, hands, &C., to W est Virginia, on
Tuesday last, when they will locate a saw
mill on the lands of Capt. Price. AS
mentioned IN these dispatches some time |
since, they expect to saw for about three |
years.
Rev. - Iseley, Christian minister, |
whllest preaching to his congreg cation at
Hupps, Rockingham county, became vio- |
lently deranged on Sunday last. His &C
tons caused great excitement in and |
the congregation, and it was
some time before be was gotten under
control. He halls from North Carolina.
Mrs. Berthe Williams nee Henkel, might
have met with a very serious accident
last week when driving south of town.
She was handling the ribbons over a
young and spirited animal, ana on reach
ing the top of hill the animal hesitated
vi hen she applied the whip causing the
colt to plunge. which caused the buggy to
strike its heels when it commenced kick
ing and running until it reached the
foot of the hill. The shafts were broken |
and the buggy was otherwise damaged.
Fortunately she escaped uuhurt.
Oar market is abundantly supplied |
with cantalOupes, water and musk melons,
and on account of the great number they
sell exceedingly low.
The nomination of the Hon. r. j.
Walker, by the Luray Convention, as their
for congress, meets with great
favor by the republicans Of this end OF |
the county.
Much talk is INDUCED in in this end of
the county, as to why the democratic
convention was called to meet at
Mt. Jackson. The general opinion is,
that 1t was to get rid of the Court House
clique, Which they claim always controls
the convention to suit their ideas. If
this be so, it is the same old opposition
renewed against Walton, Newman IL Co.,
on account of their influence pledging the
delegates for Walton at the last con
gressional convention. We will wait and |
see. More anon, OCCASIONAL
