Stafford was pushing the wagon from be-
hind, when the former heard a report of the
gun and Stafford exclaim g am shot

ruse did not notice him, until hearing the
cries of the women, when upon examination

himself, the charge entering his right side.

gave the bell to Joel Stratton, who left it
with his son, EIhanan w. Stratton from
whose hands it passed to Green B., who
showed it TO US in our sanctum, last Tues

ton. The COW fell to man named Edger.
