A Roy Shot.

The Nortiees, says a small lad, named William
Cadwalader, aged about nine years, son Of Mr..
Cadwaladcr, of Napoleon, was mortaly wounded
on the morning Of the goth ult., by a ram-rod fred
from gun in the hands of Charles Tyler, aged
about l2 years, son Of DR.. A. II. Tyler The cir
cumstouces are theses The two boys, with Others,
had crossed the river for the purpose Of play and
enjoyment, as was their custom almost every Sat
urday, there being No school. Young Tyler took
with him gun to shoot birds. After eNhaustng
the shot, he concluded to test what efficacy there
was in the ram-rod, and placed Il in the barrel OF
the gun. Young Cadwaladcr coming up at the
time, Tyler requested him to lcavc-go home, or he
would shoe, him. The lad supposing him to be
jestiug, gave no heed to the rtmark. Tyler again
warned him TO leave, and at the same instant, al
most, the gun discharged and Cadwaad.r fell, the
ram-rod entering his right sid, between the first
and second rib, passed forward OF the apex of the
right lung and impinged on his spine then passed
behind the apex of the left lung out through the
upper portion Of the left shoulder blade paralyzug
the body from the chest down, both in sens lton
and motion. Tho wounded boy was Immediately
carried home; and DR.. Mcllcnry called, who is do
ing everything in his power to alloyat, the suffer
er, but with no hopes of his recovery.
That the shooting was merely Il thoughtlcss and
reckless freak, without u knowledge OF the conse-
qu2uces, we have doubt. 1t is but another fear
full commentary upon the use of firearms in the
hands of youth. There is scarcely u day that we
do not read of some deplorabc occurrence, the re-
suit of boys handling what are at best dangerous
implements OF amusement in the hands Of persons
more advanced in years.

Col. Norton at Home.

Col. Norton arrived safe at home on Monday af-
ternoon. lie was released on parole and placed ON
board the Steamer Marmora at Camp Poca came
down to GLllipos on the ga where he remained
until Saturday, took passage on the steamer Logan
for Cincinnati, arriving at that point on Sunday
evening. Monday morning he took the train for
home, where he arrived as above stated in the af-
ternoon train. Mr. Ms wound is the most remark
able, not to prove fatal we ever heard tell Of The
ball took effect in the right hip, and passed COM
petely through and out of the opposite side ouch-
ing the spine, though not materially injuriug it,
The wound is now doing well, and shows a ready
disposition to heal up. During the attack Col. n.
wore blowse to conceal his rank, AMI this was
ornamented by number of shots, evidently aimed
at his person. After the battle, Col, Norton with
the other wounded, was taken into the rebel camp,
where he was stripped to examine the nature of his
wound and during this examination some one car
ried of his clothes. OF course another suit was
furnished him, H. thinks he will be able to be up
and about in the course of two or three weeks when
he proposes to raise another regiment and "off Ia
the wars again" The limited space at our COM
mand precludes any detailed statement this week
but we hope to do so in our next issue. Gen. Cox
and Col. Lowe proved themselves in this affair en-
tirely unfit to take any command, as viii be shown
in future article.
