From the Greensboro (N. C.) Patriot
 
February 11, 1862
 
   A soldier named HINSDALE, who was returning to his home in Waughtown was horribly crushed at the railroad station {the North Carolina RR} in this place on Monday morning last. He attempted to jump upon the platform of a car while the train was in motion, but not gaining the platform was carried to the woodshed, between which and the car he was so badly mangled that he died in a few minutes.
