breaking his right leg on Tuesday,.
He was driving a spirited animal
to a light buggy on his way to
town, when it became frightened
and Mr.. Pittmau fearing that ne
might be killed in the run-a-way
jumped out, with the result that
his right leg was broken about two
inches below the knee. AS soon as
possible he was brought to The resi-
dence of MIR. j N. Hill in town and
Doctors Bernard and Artaud did all
that could be done for the suffering
man. Mr.. PittmaD has been very un-
fortunate, having had his left leg
broken when young man, and his
right leg broken few years ago. aud
now again TO have it broken, is surely
rough indeed. We hope the broken
limb will mend rapidly and that he
will soon be able to be out attending
10 his large planting interests.

BROTHER JASPER of Richmond, Va,
who promulgated the doctrine that THE
sun do move has at last joined the
silent majority, at the advanced age OF
SO years. The old gentleman attained a
degree of eminence as the expounder Of
the truths of the gospel as they appeared
to his active although uututored MIND,
and by the way, we have noticed that
the preacher who meets success does
not accomplish it by a liberal abuse of
his neighbors.
