FATAL Acc1pEwr-A WARN1SG.=A

FATAL AccIpENT-A WARNISG.--A
most melancholy and fatal accident &C
Cured on Thursday last, in the neigh.
borhond OF Cross Hill, about 10 miles
from this village, which we trust will
act as warning to all who use fire
arms. The circumstances, as we have
heard them, are these:
Mr.. John Lgon, accompanied by
William Il. Carter, were out duck huntl
ing, and coming iii sight of game, the
little fellow was anxious to shoot nj
them, when Mr.. LiIop took me guh
from MN, and. leaning it on his arm,
put a cap OH the tube cooked it, and,
in the act of returning it, the hammer
fell and the gun went off, lodging the
whole load in the breast and heart of
Carter. The little fellow immediate-
" ran towards Mr.. L. and exclaimed,
Uncle, you have shot me-" then, fcl-
and instantly expired. The agony of
mind experienced by Mr.. l.. can be
better imagined than described
The little fellow was an interesting
and atfectionate child, and sad must be
the hearts of his most estmable par.
ents; we sincerely sympathizc with
them in their bereavement, and would
remind them that the Dispenser of all
things guides our dcstincs, and to him
alone can we only fly for consolation
and comfort in our trials and tribula-
tions.
This sad event should be solemn
aud impressive warning to parents to
be careful not to permit their young
children to have the use OF fire arms;
while we would remind all older per-
sons who use them, that too great care
cannot be exercised, under any cir
cumslances, i'll their management.
