u The account we gave yesterday, Of
the sad accident which deprived Mr.. Hor-
ace Blum Of his life, and this community
ola most worthy aud estimable citizen, was
substantially correct. It appears that Mr..
b. had just drawn a load OF fine shot from
his gun. and had loaded one barrel with
buck-shot. when. by some means. the gun
was discharged, the contents taking effect
in his head, decorating it frightfully back
OF the ear, aud 10 some extent dis6guring
his cheek. He brealhed but a few mo.
meats. but never spoke again.
The accident occurred opposite Merom,
in Illinois The body was brought TO this
city on Monday night about 8 O'Clock.
This terrible calamity has produced
feeling of sadness throughout this entire
community.
