PAINFULLY INJURED. – An employé of the Tredegar Iron Works, named William Butler, was very painfully if not seriously injured on Wednesday afternoon, from a spike, which in some way was forced through his neck. He was promptly taken home, where surgical aid was called in to his assistance. At last accounts the spike had not been found, though his wound had been carefully probed.
