teat his foot in a Manner that came
very near taking bis life ia a most
horrible manner, lie was walking

hich beld it like a vice. Struggle
as be might, be could not free him
self, and the engine, too near to be
slopped, bore down niton bim. As
he swayed to oue side iu a vain ef
fort to keep his body from being
hit, some protruding piece of the
engine struck bis thigh and threw
aim from the track, tearing the
foot off st the ankle, tireataudpaiu
ful as this losa was, it was cheap,
for it was the purchase price of bis
lite. Utber cases where men have
beeu caught in this mauoer result
ed in horrible deaths. Wby this
did not waa the merest acrldcuL
Besides the loss of the foot a great
hole was torn in Mr. Council's
thigh, where the protruding part
of the engine bit him. Dr. Blair,
the railroad physician, and Drs.
Monroe ami Stewart amputated the
leg some distance above the place
where it was torn apart.
Another accideut occurred at the
freight depot cmesiug yesterday.
It resulted in the smash-up of a
new wagon ofSbute Bros., and the
shakiug up of John Blakeuey, the
colored driver. John started early
yesterday morning for the brick
yard for a load of brick. As he
reached the crossing, box cars stood
on either side, aud seeing Mr. Cur
lee, the watchman, on the other
side, Johu thought all was safe and
started over. Just as his mules
crossed the track the switch engine
of the yard shot out from behind
the cars and took the wagou aiuid-
ship, smashing it completely. John
escaped with some bruises and
gashes, and the mules were not
hurt
It looks as if the railroad com
pany would save niouey as well as
life by hurrying np its overhead

Christmas lias imssed. It has been
noted by a number of our citizens as
the quietest time for Christmas tluit
ever has been in these parts. Sev
eral things conspired in the recent
past to bring aUml this change. One
of tlie must in i itla n t is, there are
no intoxicating drinks to lie hud for
love nor money. Then, too, our imhk
pie seem to realize that the lirst an
nouncement of Christinas was marked
with the news, "Peace on earth, good
will toward men." The Christinas
reflections in The Journal of last
week, coming from so many good
men and women, have had some ef
fect. The myth of Santa Clans is
not a bail thing, as he brings gifts
not prized for their intrinsic value,
but simply because they are gifts.
Seed the time when this will lie
universally practiced.
