Accident to a Fireman.

Mr.. Henry Fox, fireman on the
Southern Railway, met with serious
accident at Charlottesville early last
night, and had it not been for cOlored
man who was stealing ride on the
train to which the engine was attached
he would surely have been killed. The
train was on its way to this city and
upon arriving at Charlottesville stopped
to allow the engine to take water. The
fireman mounted the tender as the en-
CINE was drawing near the tank when
his head came in contact with an over
head trestle at that point aud he was
knocked senseless from the tender nj
most into the arms of the cOlOred man
who was on the car next to it. The
latter held on to Mr.. Fox and prevented
him from falling on the track. He
called TO Mr.. Thomas Coffin, the engi-
neer, who went TO the rescue of the fire
man. Mr.. Fox was placed on the train
when it was found that his head had
been seriously injured. He was brought
TO his home in this city between eleven
and twelve o'clock and Doctor Snowden
was summoned. While his injuries are
serious, it is not thought that they are
dangerous. Mr.. Coffin brought the
colored man to this city and Mr.. Fox
and his friends have shown their appre'
citation of his services.

Falcon Lore.

No one can pretend to any acquaint-
ance with English literature or even
with the English language without be-
ing aware how deep an impress has
been left upon them by the art and
practice of falconry. Such words as
"haggard," "eyrie," "mews," "cadger,"
to "lure," to "stoop," to "reclaim," all
belonged originally to the falconer's
jargon and were thence adopted into
common parlance.
A whole host Of well worn quota
lions, including the long misunderstood
passage In Hamlet about the "hand
saw" Cheron shaw, can only be prop
erly explained by reference to the fall
coner's craft, and several Of the most
picturesque metaphors used by our
best poets derive their virtue from the
hawking field.-London Saturday Re-

Sent on to the Grand Jury.

BENJAMIN Hughes and John Dogan,
both cOlOred, were brought before the
Mayor this morning, charged with being
parties to the robbery of Mr.. Baer 5
Store and that of Mr.. j. Bernheimer,
during the past three months. They had
been arrested at the instance of Perry
Shields, colored, who on Thursday night
was caught while preparing to enter Mr..
G. NJ. Adams's store, on King street.
and IN whose house many articles stolen
during the past three months from Mr.
Bernheimers store had been found.
Dogan's and Hughes's houses were
searched when they were taken in Gus
tOdy, but nothing was found which
could connect them with the rot-
berries. They were, however; arraigned
this morning on the evidence OF Shields,
which was to the effect that they were
particeps criminis in entering the Bern
heimer store; also that he (Shields)
pawned coats and suits in Washington,
which had been brought him by the
men he accused The suits had been
identified by Mr.. Bernheimer as his
property, and the coats had been recog
nized by Mr.. Baer as those stolen from
his store on the night of the 21st of last
October Dogan averred that he was
liberated from the Richmond penitentiary
on the 18th of last December, and could
not have been in anyway connected with
that robbery. He denied Shields's
charges in toto. Mayor Simpson con-
cluded to send the accused to the grand
jury, and Dogan gave bond in the sum
of 5000 for his appearance, his mother
becoming his surety. Hughes also de-
MED the allegations made against him,
Shields having testified that about ten
DAYS ago he entered Mr.. Bernheimer's
store in the night and that Hughes
helped him to the back building and
watched from the alley on the south
while Shields gathered up the plumber
Hughes was also sent on to the grandjury.
The accused was represented by Messrs.
G. L. BoOthe and E. B. Taylor.

The Market.

The market this morning showed more
animation than any other Saturday this
year. There was a decided increase of
both buyers and sellers. An abundance
of green stuff was on the benches. But
ter was holding its own, and zoe. per
pound was the standard price. Eggs
were l5c per dozen. The butchers had
excellent supplies of meat and the
benches of the hucksters were supplied
with most seasonable articles There
was marked increase in the supply of
fish, and prices were not so firm as here
tOfnre.

The Fishery.

The attendance at FishtOwn is grad
ually increasing, colOred boys, however,
being in the majority. They fish from
the docks with hook and line and bask
in the sun ad libitum. A corporal s
guard of colored female cutters sit about
and await arrivals. The packers have
about completed their arrangements for
cutting and striking fish and now await
receipts. The catch is still meagre,
said to be on account of the muddy
water and its present chilliness. Condi-
tons are gradually becoming more favor
able, and those engaged in the business
appear sanguine. But few shad are
being melted near this city.
