"Since the shooting season commenced, a day has scarcely pas-
sed Without bringing us an account of some melancholy and often
fatal event, arising ,from the accidental discharge of fire-arms.
While so many lives are thus daily put to hazard, we think we
ape both consulting the comforts of wives and mothers, and doing
l'Arvice to sportsmen themselves, in calling attention to the very
effectual security afforded, against such accidents by the gun-lock
recently invented by. the Rev. Mr. Somerville. We hare con-
versed with sportsmen who have used Mr. Somerville's gun from
th,i beginning, and win, are using it now, and they assure us,
tlist such is the security it affords, both in the field and in the
house, the facility with which it works, ,the tranquillity of
mind, it gives, and the superior despatch it insures, that it
needs onli. to be more widely known to come into universal use."
