SAD ACCIDENTAL sad accident occurred
in this place on SATURDAY. morning last. by
which one Of our most estimabe young
men came near losing his life. While George
B. Lindsey, clerk in the bank, was arranging
his papers. &C., for the business of the day,
A. G.. Howell stepped into the bank with a
horse pistol in his hand. After passing a few
jokes, Lindsay took pistol from his desk,
blew through it TO satisfy himself it was not
loaded, and then snapped it al Howell. who,
in a playful manner, pointed his pistol at
Lindsay and snapped t,when it was discharged
lodging heavy charge Of fine shot in his
face and neck. Medical aid was Mt once sum .
moned, and, although one side of his face and
neck was a perfect jelly, DR.. Hamilton sue
cceded in extracting nearly il not quite all of
the shot except three, two of which penetra-
ted the socket Of the right eye, and the other
passed Immediately over the ball Of the left.
He is now doing well, but there is danger that
he will lose one or both Of his eyes.
1t is due 10 Mr.. Howell to state that he was
perfectly satisfied that his pistol was not load
ed. It had been used by the clerks in Blinn
& Barstow's store for shooting rats, and when
Mr. H. called for it, he was told by boy
that it..was not loaded, and there being no
priming in the pan, he was satisfied that such
the already innumerable warnings against the
careless use Of fire arms. We hold that ii is
gross imprudence for any person to point a
PISTOL or gun towards another, even if the
weapon is known to be unloaded. In this case,
both parties were guilty of great careessness.
As- A young lady in Michigan had beau
and lover, but an interesting New York lass
visited the neghborho oil, and when she re-
turned, his heart went with her-his body,
soul and breeches soon following. Here is the
lamentation of " the gal he left behind :"

% The Local editor of the Toledo Times,
from some cause better known to himself than
to the public, ha his vanity wounded by our
alluson to certain Il transactions at the Printers
Festival, and in retaliation resorts TO uugen-
tleman'y personal abuse, to viii we do not
feel disposed to reply through the columns Of
our paper, But, should he again resort to
blackguardism to shield himself from the gen.
tie shafts Of rehuke, we shall give few incl
dents in the eventful history of this interest
ing individual, such as graphic sketch of his
performances as chief cook and bottle washer
on canal boat; how he got into difficulty and
was rescued from the constables of Maumee
by the leetncss OF his limbs; how smilingly
he pointed to the articles that would I" tell "
in the Toledoan, while gentlemen were bored by
repeated entreates to repeatedly read them;
exhibit his manly features as he opposed
the politics and interests Of men who were
paying protested notes. &C.. &C., &C., &c, the
whole to conclude with scenes at the Phila-
delplia American convention. and a birds
eye view of professional black-leg and con-
| irmed libertine presiding over the destinies
of paper whose morals are awfully shocked
by the iniquities of the Catholic church, dis
seminatng morals among the children and
youth of Toledo but at present we shall pass
him by.
As to the charge that we intended to re-
fleet on the Kiugsbury House by the allusiou
to shanghai turkeys, it is only necessary to say
that, through the paper AMI otherwise, we
have invariably recommended that HOUSE to
the public as second to none in north western
Ohio, and il its deservedly high reputation is
tarnished, it will be by the weakness Of such
friends as Nash, whose praise is scandal.
A VIGOROUS OLD AGE.-Benton, in his
Boston lectures, explaining how it came that
at his advenced age lover 10Y he was blessed
with the absence Of those intirmities which
are supposed to belong to it, said He owed
it to the course of his early life. Franklin
was nicknamed the American Aquatic. be-
cause he drank nothing but water. In that
respect, he had initiated Franklin. He total
" abstained for the first half of his life. and
was temperate the other half. lie had not
only atstained from spurious liquors, vinous
liquors. fermeuted liquors, and everything of
the kind, but he had kept himself from every
kind of dissipation. He knew no game what
ever; and to this moment could not tell when
looking at party playing cards, which was
the loser aud which was the winner He had
often sat up all night, watching the sick. on
military duty, and book-A DooK-had Oft
en- kept him awake ; but he had never spent
a night Of dissipation.
