Mr. James G. Psine, Jr., who has been
running on one of the fast trains of the
Georgia railroad for sometime past, was
severely and dangerously injured, as the
train was leaving Greensboro, coming up,
on last Wednesday. When the train left
Greensboro, Mr. Paine was in the bag¬
gage car. There was some unusual rat¬
tling noise coming up from under the car
which attracted his attention. He looked
out of the side door of the car to ascertain
the cause, when his hsad came in contact
with one of the upright timbers of the
bridge, on the west side of Greenesboro,
wht h knocked him senseless, and he fell,
on a chain which is stretched across the
door, where he was found by th* conduc¬
tor, Mr. Sam. Harris, a few minutes after¬
wards. The train was stopped and run
back to the station, when Mr. Paine ras
removed to the depot, and medical assis¬
tance summoned. The blood was run¬
ning from his right ear, but the skin was
unbroken. He was soon removed to the
hotel, and every attention was given him
by the physicians. He remained in s stu¬
por until late Wednesday afternoon, when
hU mind revived snd he was able to recog¬
nize his frieads. During the night, how¬
ever, he again fell into a stupor, though
his breathing was natural, and at last ac¬
counts he was improving. We have not
been able to learn the full extent of his
injuries, but it is thought his skull was
not fractured. His many friends in Cov¬
ington sympathize with him in his mis¬
fortune, end sincerely hope be may soon
be better.
Since the foregoing was pot in type we hare
learned that Mr. Paine was able to be bsought
to his lather's home on last Friday, and that he
is getting on very well His skull was not frac¬
tured.

rived on yesterday morning, and at once coir

lege, which position he had filled contin¬
uously for many "years. Both societies
took action on Saturday concerning his
death, and resolved to erect a suitable

tlemen of Emory college, and speaks well

concluded they would have a boat ride.—
