Social ADJUSTMENTS IN CNCINNATI.-The fact of
the accidental shooting of young man in Cincn-
natl was recorded few days ago in the papers of
that city. Accidental, it was called; but the pecu-
liar circumstances of the case, as now narrated by
the Cincinnati Commercial, would hardly Justify
that term. group of young men were convers-
ing upon the subject of shooting. Jim remarked
that he had been lately undergoing course of les
sons from Travis and that he considered himself
crack pistol shot. However exalted an opinion Jim
might entertain ofhs prowess it not concurred
in by his friend Tom, who did not hesitate to tell
Jim so, saving he could not hit an elephant at ten
PAGES This disparagement of the Young mans
skill so reused his ire that he wanted immediately
to wager small sum that he could hit any object
larger than cent, or ring the bell three times in
succession, at a distance Of ten PAGES.
'DOne," said Tom, ~ will take the bet
every WE'LL" replied Jim, "ony be sure and
name mark as large in diameter a cent"
"All right-Pll do so. 1t is myself"
''Whatw calculated jim, with astonishment
"1 GU You put yourself as a mark for me to shoot
at 2"
eyes, sir" coolly replied Tom, ~ WILL and what
is more do not think that the target will be in
any particular danger"
The second sarcastic reference to Jim's attain
ment nerved him and drawing his wallet quickly, he
laid down the amount of the proposed bet, which
was quickly covered by Tom. The preliminaries
settled, both parties, together with few favored
trial of skill to take place. Like a hero in a
sacred cause did Tom stand at the distance agreed
upon. Not a muscle moved, nor was any emotion
distinguishable in his features. Confident in his
measurement of Jims capacities, he stood
'Heedless of all around"
and patiently waited Jim's readiness. The word
was given, one-the pistol is raised; two-he takes
deliberate aim; three-fires
"My God" shrieked Tom, in the widest despair,
"Pm shot!"
''Ddn't tell you %" laconicalIy spoke jim,
without thinking to ask the extent of his friends in
uries, "Didnt l tell you so? | knew it-I am a
shot"
The spectators flew to Toms aid, who was fortu-
nately found not to be much hurt the ball having
taken effect in the deshy part of his leg. Good hu
dulged in a smile. Since the occurrence, not of
Jim's friends has dared to dispute his claims as
crack shot, fearing that the consequences may be to
them dead shot.
