Mr.. Alfred vii inns Of Peru, recently
met with severe accident while out in the
woods on a hunting bee from the rifle pis-
toll. lIayiag ii in his hand with the muzsle
towards him, hi, right hand hold Of the butt
and trigger, and by some means it went oil,
the ball entering the arm near the wrist and
coming out near the elbow. The nerves
were So cut oil, or so badly Injured, that he
will lose the use Of part Of his hand.-
Why will not people be more careful in
handling firearms? The wound is doing as
well rs could be expected, but ii is a seri-
Gus affair.
BURGLARY.-1he house of Jesse BIN
ings of Rutland, was entered few nights
since by burglars, who, says the Herald, sue
ceeded in finding Mr.. Billings pants, and
took from the pocket thereof a small sum
in change AL there was in it--and a jack
knife. Mr.. Billings had quite large sum
of money in pocket of his vest, which
was lying near, but this the scamps did not
discover The same night, the dwelling of
Mr.. Smith Kelley was entered, no doubt by
the same gang, and sum of money,
amounting to SIS, as we understand, taken
from his pantaloons pocket. The thieves
entered by window, which was raised and
fastened up by jack knife, and was so left
by the nighi-callers. This jack-knife, on
inspection, proved to be the one which had
been taken from Mr.. Billings-so he recov-
cred his knife but neither of the gentle
men got their money back again.
