MAN KTLLEI?,—At1 Brazil yesterday morning, a well known citizen of the eastern part of this county, John Woods, aged sixty years, was killed by being run over,by a train. A passing train was going east, and just as it passed he stepped upon the track without noticing that another train was backing up. It was so close upon him that although persons on the train shouted to him he failed to get ofi'the track in time. He was knocked dowp, and dragged a distance of fifty feet. The body was mangled in a most horrible manner, the limbs being broken and the entrails protruding. Mr. Woods built the mill at Woodvilte, the first station east of'the city, on the T. H. «!t 1. R.
