Mhjor Ckrrington, of the Quartermaster's Dopari
men t, ia at this time In our village for the
purpose of purchasing suppliea of corn and oats
for the homes In Qen. Lee'a army. Our otyect
iu llita brief notice ia merely to apprise the
people of the District generally, that they will
be called upon to spare whatever they can of
4 .these articles. They have always liberally res.
ponded to cells of thla nature, aud we cannot
14 doubt that they will do so now, when the emergency
under which the call la made ia explained
to them. As a preliminary step, a meeting of
citizens la expected to be held here to day
(MoimI*;), the result of which will not be known j
until after we go to press.
Distressing Accident
' .On Saturday afternoon last our community
wu startled by the intelligence that Peter Wy?
.lie, i eon ol Dr. A. P. Wylie, of fleeter, had
been killed lit the outoklrU of our Village by
the accidental discharge of a gun in hie own
i *> hand*. There wae no one with him when the
accident occurred except a email negro boy ;
but there eeema to bn no doubt ol the faot,
from the nature of the wound, and other cir.
cumttaiieea, that the gun waa accidentally discharged
In Ida own hand*. The load entered
hi* breast and ahouldcr, killing him almost inatantly.
A jury of Inquest rendered their rar^
diet iu accordance witli these facta.
The deceased waa thiileen years old, and a
try intelligent and promising youth. He had
been hare but a few daya, on a visit to his relatives.
Hie sad fata has enlisted the sympathies
of our community with hia sort owing
i elative*.

The subject of this notice was a native of

ginia in the spring he went. Moon after they
I arrived in Va., they went into (rattle ami while
nobly contending with the enemy, tell,-mortally
wounded. The best of all is, he was a good
"soldier of Jesus Christ.'' Having the advantage
of pious parents, he was emuy uitloctnua1

profited. And no one perhaps can point to an
act of his Nfc that could he considered otherwise
than the liuit of the uohlc christian principles
in which he was instructed. He lived a
