SINGULAR GUN ACCIDENT AT SPALDLNO.-.-011
Sunday afternoon last Yr. Edward Wellboaree, of this
town, took his wife and family to Foedyke to en some
friends. Whilst their parents were having their tee in one
room the children were sent into another to amuse them-
selves. One of the young children had a whip in his hand,
which he was cracking, and is " flicking / it about the thong
caught a loaded gun which was hanging against the wall
of the room, and caused it to fall. The force of the con-
cussion caused the piece to explode, and the whole of the
charge was lodged in the ankle of Mr. Wellbourne's eldest
son, who is about 17 years old. He was at once brought to
the surgery of Dr. who ordered him to be taken
home, sod on an illumination of the injured part it was
found that the ankle-bone wits completely blown away, and
amputation being necessary, the process was skilfully per-
formed by the medical gentlemen in attendance, the leg
being taken off just below the knee. The young sufferer,
who bore up manfully under the distressing accident, is
going on favourably. Fortunately none of the other chil-
dren were injured.-Stamford Mercury.
THE Cams TRADE. -NoTTINoNAN, ArrO. 7. -
At this cattle-narked to-day there was rather more than
an average show of fat beasts, but the demand was far from
being active,and prices gave way about 3d. per storm.
Calves were ily a moderate show, and moved off steadily at
a alight advance. The supply of sheep was tolerably good,
and, with a good demand, late rates were sustained. Lambs
were in fair supply, and sold 'lowly at 2s. to 3a. per head
leas money. In the value of pigs there was not much she-
ration. Prices-beef, Oa. Pd. to Bs. per stone of 141 b. ;
mutton, 6jd. to 7jd. ,• lamb, 7jd. to Bd. ' • veal, Gd. to 7d.
per lb. ; pork, 7s. to 7s. Gd. per stow. Leeds, 7th.-There
was not so good a show of fat stock as last week, but there
was sufficient for thedemand. There was a rather slow
sale, but a good clearance was effected. Beef, Bed. to 71d.
per lb. ; mutton, 7d. to 71n1; lamb, 7jd. to Bd. Numbers
at market:-Beasts, 330; sheep and lambs, 3,500. Pork
pigs see plentiful for the semen of the year, and sell at &L
to 61d. per lb. Wakefield, 7th.-There were 1,080 fat
beasts and 3,500 sheep and lambs brought for sale to-day.
There was a steady demand, and nearly the whole were sold
at the following prices :-Beet, 7a. to iis. per stone of 141 b.;
mutton, Old. to 70.; lamb, 71d. to Bd. There was also a
good show of lean stock and pigs, and a fair male was ex-
perienced for both. Birmingham, 6th.-The soppy of
busts this day was quite au average number. The dseoasd
for choice qualities good, at rather higher prices. Trade
not so brisk for inferior kinds. The supply of sheep and
lambs was large ; demand steady., prices unaltered. Fat
pigs a very small supply. Late prams fully realised. Beef,
sto 711. per lb.; mutton, 6jd. to lit per lb.; lambs,
71d. to 8d per lb. Bacon pigs, His, to 10n. 101. per score ;

NORTH DEVON RAILWAT.-The report of the
directors states that the gross receipts of the traffic for the
past half-year amount to 12,515/.' as compared with
11,9101. for the conespoisding half of last year. The net
revenue, after the pa t of interest on debentures,
amounts to 2,458 i. 1U dividend on the preference stock
will absorb 1,155 L, leaving 1 3011. available for a dividend
on the ordinary stock. The directors reoommend a dividend
at the rate of 17• &L per cent. on the original stock, which
will leave a bolus* of 17/. The increase in the value of
money has rendered the renewal of the debentures a matter
of some difficulty, and the directors have generally been
compelled to increase the rate- They have made • con-
ditional agreement with Ir. Braseey for working the line for
soother year, upon the same terms and codditions as the
present lease. The capital account to the 30th of June
shows that 497,839/. has been received, and 496,8011. ex.
pended, leaving a balance of 8381. The revenue account
states that 6,0215/. had been received, and 3871. upended,
leaving a balance of 5,637 L
A large cormorant was shot a few days since near
Westbury, in Wiltshire. It is rarely that this bird is seen
hiked. A brood of ducks was much fr:glitened at the sight
of the bird.
