RETURNED.—Mr. Thomas Crase, better known as “Big Tom,” arrived here last Thursday, after
a few months’ visit to Cornwall, England. He looks well, and is, if possible, bigger than when he left.
We would not care to tackle Tom now.
RAILROAD ACCIDENT.—The stage from Colfax was delayed five hours on Thursday, owing

[DIED]. Albert Lindsey, formerly of this county, who was severely injured by a blast at Emigrant
Gap, on the 21st, died on Friday at that place.
Asick Chinaman, brought from Smartsville a short time since, died here on Thursday last.
EX-GOVERNOR JOHNSTON.—A dispatch of the 23d from Salt Lake says, “Ex-Governor
J. Neely Johnson, who has been ill for a month past is said to be rapidly sinking and cannot last
twenty-four hours longer. Old friends and citizens show every possible attention and kindness to
him.”
SHOOTING ACCIDENT.—Last Friday Eugene Johnson, a lad aged about 14 years, went hunting
alone. When back of the race-track, near the picnic ground, he shot at a dove and wounded it. While
he was chasing the fluttering bird, at a considerable distance from it, another boy, named Wm.
Williams, aged 16 years, appeared from behind some bushes and seeing the dove also shot at it.
Fortunately for Eugene, Williams was a good distance from him, for had he been nearer he would
undoubtedly have been instantly killed. As it is, however, young Johnson received a full charge in his
face, breast and legs. One of the shot struck one of the molar teeth and broke it squarely off. He was
shot with No. 4 shot, which every sporting man knows, is very large.
