ACCIDENT-Thomas Schoonover, father of Lawrence Schoonover, Co. Treasurer of Jones County, met with a serious accident, on Tuesday last, while working in the timber. His feet were knocked from under him by a limb on a log that was being drawn by a horse. He struck upon his head and fell down a steep hill, and when found was insensible. He was in a critical condition for several hours, but we learned that Dr. E. T. Mellet who is attending him, that he is now doing well. Monticell0 Express, 30th inst.
