Accident-We regret to learn that Sylves-
ter Rianhard, proprietor of the United States
Hotel, in this city, met with an accident
while cunning on his farm in Kent County.
Del, few days ago. In company with
several others, he had gone out in a wagon
for the purpose of killing game, and when
they had reached point to commence opera
tions, they all got out. Mr.. Rianhard left
his gun lying in the vehicle and went to the
back of the wagon to take it out, catching the
gun by the muzzle. The consequence was
that as he raised it up, the trigger caught on
the bottom of the wagon and the piece dis
charged, the contents entering the arm of
Mr.. Rianhard, and decorating it in a terrible
manner. We are informed at last accounts,
the sufferer was doing as well as could be an
ticipated and hopes are entertained that no
thing serious will ensue.-Jomnal.
