On Wednesday morning George Davis, a young negro man, met with a most hor? rible death on the Blue Ridge Railroad, about three miles above the city. Davis was in the employ of Section Master Rus? sell, and on Wednesday morning ho, with other hands, was coming down the road i on the Lever-car, and at the time of the accident was engaged in propelling the car. Suddenly the car struck a stick of wood, which was lying across the track, and Davis was thrown directly under the car, which ran over his head, crushing his skull in a frightful manqer. The un? fortunate man was placed on the car, and by the time he reached the city he was dead. Coroner Nance held an inquest, and a verdict was rendered in accordance with the above facts. It is believed the stick of wood was placed on the track pur? posely. If this is true, tho party who placed it there should be ferreted out and punished. There is perhaps no person in this sec? tion who enjoys hunting game more than our young friend, James T. Roberts, of Williamston. Last Fall, after having en | joyed a number of fox chases, catching seventeen out of twenty foxes, some of which were the largest reds generally seen in this country, Mr. Roberts sold his pack of fifteen hounds to Mr. E. W. Jester, pro? prietor of the St. George Kennel, in Dela? ware. Mr. Jester tried the dogs on sever? al chases, and was so well pleased'with his bargain, that he has recently presented Mr. Roberts with a pair of thoroughbred setter puppies, their pedigrees accompany? ing them. "Royal Gladstone," "Royal Duke," "Countess" and other famous dogs, all imported from England, are mentioned in the pedigrees. Mr. Roberts is very proud of his present, and he has reason to be, for he now owns the finest pair of dogs, we venture, to bo found in upper Carolina. The puppies sell in Del? aware at $50 each.

King will preach at this place next Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. The school at this place is in good work? ing order, all owing to the competency of the teacher, Miss Selma Whittaker. Mr. J. M. Stevenson, our young and prosperous bachelor, says he is on the lookout for a wife, and* as this is leap year, thinks some of the girls might pro? pose. Who will venture ? On last second Sunday at this place Rev W. H. King preached one of his well prepared sermons, which was listened to with much interest, after which a short conference was held, and the same gentle? man was elected pastor of this Church. Last Saturday Mr. J^ohn B. Leveretthad the misfortune to lose a fine horse and two hogs. The former died of colic and tho latter of cholera. Flat. Anderson County Teachers' Association.
