fowling piece, Oh the :2,22d january, ISIS. -
He was then about - years of age. Tn rails

the gun and about two inches OF the barrel,
had been driven through the frontal sinus,

Ii had sunk almost perpendlcularly, till the
iron plate called the tail pin" by which
the barrel is made fast 10 the stock l.y u
rying with il the screw, one extremity OF
which had forced itself into the right nostrll.
where it WAS observable externally. while
the headed end lay in contact with his tongue.
To extract the Jagged mass oil iron Tins sunk
i'll the ethmudal and spheniodal cells, was
found hopclessly impossible. But strange 10

years aiterward, on the lst of April, 1886,
not from any consequences OF this fearful
wound. but from fever and Inflammation,
brought on hy other causes. 50 little was
