Rev. DIR. Ingraham.
- OrR readers will remember the sad accident
which befell this distinguished and talented gen
tleman, by the accidental discharge Of a pistol,
con the evening of Saturday, Dec. 9Th. He has
had the sympathies and prayers Of his many ar
dent admirers who hoped and prayed that he
would not be cut off in the midday of his use
fitness, bnt that Providence would spare and
uphold him, and grant him the comfort and
mercy which this man Of God loved to preach
and administer to others. For several days af-
ter the accident the prospects of his recovery
were very cheering, but we regret to learn, from
n dispatch received on Monday night that his
situation is very critical, and that but little, If
any, hope is entertained We trust to be able
yet to announce that he is better, and that there
is still hope of his recovery. -.........-
d u is but proper, We think, that our readers
should know the particulars Of the accident and
we desire to give them as given, we understood,
by the family, and by the reverend gentleman
himself: During a trip which he recently
made to New York, to supcrintend the publica-
ton Of one Of his works, the family were much
alarmed by suspicious persons prowling around
the house in the night Upon his return these
alarms were stated to him, and he was beg
gcd to have something about the premises, to
defend them in cases of emergency and danger.
In obedience to their entreatics, on the evening
Of the accident, he procured pistol, and had
It loaded by the gunsmith in Holly Springs. In
handing the weapon TO DR. Ingraham, the gun
smith wrappedit up, but did not secure or twist
the ends Of the paper. From here, he accompa-
MED his daughter to the Church, (as was always
his custom on Saturday evenings for the pur-
pose Of preparing it for services on the coming
Sabbath On entering the vestry-room of the
Church, he wished to lay the pistol on the table,
until he should beready to start home, and
in taking it out of his pocket he caught hold of
enc end of the paper which contained it The
Other end, being loose, the pistol dropped upon
the floor, and, the hammer striking with eonsid-
cradle force, exploded The ball entered the
right thigh, and, ranging upwards, lodged, it is
supposed IN the hip and near the spinal col
