Cincinnati Gazette OF Wednesday, says-One Ut
the most horrible accidents which We have been
called upon to record i'll long time occurred yes
terday morning on the rolcrain Turnpike, near
College HILL some eight nine miles from the
city. The particulars are rs follows About
o'clock in the morning, Mr. Squire j. John, "f the
extensive furniture wars.-rOoms on Fou street,
between Main and sycamore, passed from his
sleeping room to the part Of his dwelling. and
GA opening the kitchen door, discovered Il large
hawk flying about his barn. lie called to the
girl Mt w'rk III the room to bring his gun, and
it was handed to him. he inquired if it loaded.
The girl rrpliel that she thought not, and turned
t. procure some percussion caps, as directed. Mr..
John then raised the hammer of the gun and
placed the butt upon the floor, to blow in the bar
rel. to ascertain whether not it was loaded. As
lie was placing the mu1zle to his mouth, II favor
itc housedog came bounding through the open
door, and springing to his master, Of whom he
very fond he exploded the gun, the contents
of the barrel heavy charge of shot, entering the
iace Of Mr. John, Just underneath the left cheek
bone, and passing through the top of the skull,
carrying AWAY the LETT eye and the entire upper
left portion Of the face and head Such was the
force of the charge that the brains of the uniortu
nate man were scattered the walls and CELL

who stood only two or three feet distant The
skull itself was nearly empted!
The sight was most horrible one. OF course
death followed simultaneously. The cavity in the
skull made by the blowing out of the brains,
40 large that it required nearly half pound of
cotton to fill it. when the wound was dressed by a
physician, preparatory TO laying tho body out.
Mr.. John. who was about forty years OF age, was
an enterprising and industrious mechanic. By his
own energy he had built up an extensive business,
and gave employment To n very large number of
men in the manufacture of furniture. He lived
in one of the finest residences in the county, with
interesting family, consisting of a wife and
eight daughters, tho youngest infant. happy

Tales Out Of School.

The Washington correspondent of tho vt. Louis
Republican, Democratic organ thus refers to the
iutrigucs Of the leading members of his own party
in reference 70 the next Presidential nomination:
Tho scramble for the succession in 1860 is now
becoming interesting. and while some Of the Pres
idental aspirants have ample time to IN AXE pill
grimage to the Great West, others art detained
here by public engagements. Yet they all watch
each other like hawksthc play is for Ugh stakes.
and as the game proceeds, the excit ed parties
adopt every expedeDt to checkInate each other.
tSlidell, Bright Stephens, clAlnridge, Douglas
and others court the growing strength Of the Far

WISrgR1sG LaNBs-The same food and
treatment applied to calves will su coed equal
ly with lambs. IL they get ticks upon them,
Scotch snuff distributed along the back, by
opening the wool and rubbing it well in will
destroy the ticks. Do not crowd too many
lambs together, and separate the strong from

no sympathy for their interiors. The larger,
OF whatever kind, over-run the smaller. drive
them from their food, and starve them out al
together.
Old, or weakly sheep, may be wintered in
the same stables or sheds with lambs for, if
the old sheep be larger and stronger, the
lambs are spryer, and can do better dodge
about them for their food. They all require
fresh air, aud plenty Of it. Dry cold never
hurts sheep, but rains in Winter are frequent
ly injurious. particularly if of opened woo!ed
varieties, as they soak to the skin and give
them severe colds. 4 serere snow storm, if
dry, is less hurtful than warm rain, and a
seet worse than both together.
