Suffolk, Va., March 18th
   On yesterday afternoon a party of young gentlemen started for Magnolia Springs in a hand car, on the Seaboard & Roanoke Railroad; but before they reached their destination, one of them, a Mr. Nacey, from New York, I believe, was thrown from the car and run over. With serious damage to his lower limbs, he had a narrow escape with his life, there being six or eight other persons on the car at the time.
