When the pension list was forwarded to your County, I did., not at that time know that tbe 67th and 63th Regiments were Home Guards, and that they had not been mustered iulo the service of the Confederate States. This" informa tion came to me from Judge Clark and others who are thoroughly conversant with the facts, consequently all those names which yon have forwarded to me had to be stricken from the roll.

The en gine was derailed and pulled two cars off the track with it. There was no cause for the accident. The switch was all right, and there were no broken rails nor decayed cross ties. The acci dent happened at 10,'o'clock sho.tly after No 5 (passenger) had passed. As soon as the engine left the track I ap plied the emergency brake. The air brakes were sufficient to stop tbe train. Thomas Keenan; fireman, The train stopped at company's wood pile for a load ot wocd. Saw Lane on first car after the tender, Did notee him again until I saw his dead body nnder the wheels. There was no carelessness. Every thing waa in) in good condition and know no cans for the accident There was no evidence of fouIplay. The engine tamed over on my side. I was planed against the fire box by wood faUtng from the tender and kept there until Mr Russell, the engineer came and released me. My feet and legs were burned: The man Lane was liked by all the train hands, I saw no evidence of foui play. The position ot the two carsJ that left the track was -across the track. Stephen James, front brakeman. I saw Lane as he'&was climbing; on the first car as if to protect himself from Injury, we were not going taster than IS or 15 miles an hour. Everything seemed to be In good condition and I saw no evidence of foul play or carelessness. ' After hearing this testimony, the jury rendered a verdict exonerating' the rail road from all blame for the accident and ttaied further that, they did not know the reason for it. FOREST.

Christensen of Beaafort , The following clipping from the Nor folk Ledger may be of Interest to oar readers Inasmuch as the subject of tbe ketch balls from Beaafort. The record If indeed one of which to be proud. In this college where tests of strength have b:sn mado easily breaking the worlds record. Tbe effort ot Christensen Is re garded as very remarkable. The state ment published below brings faun near home. ; - ' - Harvard's strength test record went by the boards again Thursday at Cam bridge, when Arthur O Ohtfnensen bet tered the figures established year by F W C Foster. Tbe new record shows a total of 884,088.8 foot pounds, or 54,000 more than the old record, which is con sidered most remarkable. Christensen's record was made under the new system which Dr D A Sargant established last Spring, and which 16 considered a test 'of endurance and speed, as well as strength. No apparat us is used in the test, which consists wholly of free movements. Christensen was able to do the exer cise of beading the body of tbe blpe with the arms stretch above the head 650 times. In this the finger tips must touch the floor each time, and the knees have to be kept together and rigid. He was able to bend his knees, the thigh touching the heels each time, iM times. He rose on his knees and came to a sitting position from lying flat on his back 100 times each, while he raised his body from the floor with bis arms fifty times and chinned himself fifty times. He is a small man, weighing only 160 pounds, while Foster weighed 184. HU speed and endurance were the two fac tors that counted most in his favor. Dr Sargant considers the record a remark able one, and does not look for it to be equaled very soon.
