A Man Shot.

A Man Shot.
On Sunday afternoon last. q most painful
casualty took place in our city. SAMUEL
GAEsxR, Of Nezeka, was killed by the acciden-
tai discharge Of gun in bis own hands
The circumstances are briefly these Mr..
Manning, one Of the proprietors of the Nezeka
FIGURING Mill, accompanied by the deceased
who was employed by Manning in the mill,
came to McGregor in skiff They had finish.
ed their visit or completed the business for
which they came and deceased had started alone
to the shore to get the skiff ready for re-
turn. The discharge Of gun was heard and
the notice Of those about the wharfwas attract
ed towards the boat. GArsrR was observed to
be staggering ard presently fell heavily to the
ground. Several ran up and attempted to re-
vivc him from an apparent falnting spell, when
upon opening his shirt collar and bosom q
CHASTITY hole as large in circumference as dol
lar, was discovered just below the nipple of the
breast. He was dead in five minutes from the
report Of the gun.
tits supposed, and the supposition is confirm
ed by mark on the boat, that the deceased in
taking his gun from the skiff (the muzzle be-
ing towards him) pulled the hammer of the
lock back and it was discharged The deccas-
ed was Switzer about 90 years of age, and
Mr.. Manning informs US was one Of the most
trusty men in his employ. The sight Of the
poor fellow thus suddenly hurried into eternity,
was most melancholy. In the full strength of
manhood ten minutes before, he now lay q
bleeding, CHASTITY corse, the victim of very
small inattcntion or an inexcusable neglect
Accidents Of the same kind are continually
happening throughout the country. and yet men
and boys handle loaded gun with as much
carelessness as if it were a cornstalk.
Esquire Arnold, in the absence of the Coro-
ner, promptly summoned q jury and their ver-
dict was in accordance with the above facts
The deceased had acquaintances at Prairie du
Chen, and at their request the body was con.
signed to them for burial.

Morphy.-In late No. Of the Clipper is =

prodigy. He was born in Charleston, 8. c., Of
Spanish stock-it was our impression that he
was Celtic and we have 30 claimed him, but
come to think Of it the Irish are not distinguish

slow analyses. If q point cannot be carried by
an impulsive effort, hearty coup de main.

Morphy's father was distinguished Louisiana
Judge, and his uncle is great Chess.player.-
The boy at ten years of age could beat his
uncle and at thirteen he met Lowen,hal at New
Orleans, played him three games. won two, and
the third was drawn. He was 81 in June last,

Mr.. Fuller.
We have had thousand and one INQUIRIES al
to "Where Fuller has gone p "What has he
gone for 7" "When will he be back -
We proceed to answer to the best of our
knowledge and belief:
He has gone to Davenport to get WIFE.
and he will be back in week or less time -
We are not absolutely certain about the wife,
but from the style Of dress which he put on,
the careful cut of lis hair, the large amount Of
"Balm of a Thousand Flowers he destroyed,
the extra Polish given to his boots, the singular
behavior that marked his conduct about the
officc-an uproarious laugh with long drawn
sigh at the end of it these and many other

MEDICINES.
Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

is a constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood by which this fuid becomes vitlated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part Of it. No organ is free
from its attacks nor is there one which 1t may
not destroy. The scrofuious faint is variousy
caused by mercural disease, low living. dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the vcncrcal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stltution, descending - from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation = indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, Il
Will visit the iniquities Of the fathers upon
their Children
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swcllings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, dcprcsses
the energies of life, that scrofulous constitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous com
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases conse-
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofnlous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from Or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
lection, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must rcnoyate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine we supply in

Compound Extract of SarsapariIIa,

the most cifectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
bmed from the most active rcmcdials that have
been discovered for the cxpurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences
Hence it should be employed for the cure Of
not only serotula, but also those other afFcc-
tons which arise from it, such as ERrrryE
