the 2pd inst, at his mill, in Elk Dale village,
New London township, Chester county. Pa.

while he was loading it. The ball entered his
RICH! eye, passing through the top of his head
and lodged in the ceiling. No one was pre-
sent at the time; but his apprentice entered
the mill soon after hearing the report of the
pistol, saw him ying on his face and gave the
