The wife of Rev. J. D. WALKER is said to be very ill.

WEST LOCUST GROVE.

During the heavy rain of last Saturday while Mr. Nelson HENDERSON was starting from the field where had been plowing corn, his team becoming frightened ran away. After running about a mile they brought up in a fence corner and became entangled in the harness, throwing him across a rail fence, knocking out several of his teeth, breaking his clavacle [sic] and bruising him terribly. He is at this writing lying in a critical condition, but strong hopes are entertained of his recovery.
