SHOOTING AFFAIR.-Yesterday afternoon, q

half years, was shot by Aclan1 Boyle, aged
thirteen, the ball entering his back and passing
through his body. 1t appears that Boyle and q
boy named Barron were playing together, ON
g street south, between 4 X and 9th, in which
neighborhood all the parties reside, and Boyle
went into his house and returned with his
brothers pistol, which 1t is said he thought
was loaded, but after swapping two caps on it
he considered that there was no load in 1t. In
short time they saw Scott coming down the
street, and made up their minds to scare him,
and for the purpose Boyle drew the pistol and
pointed it at Scott, at the same time asking
what he had done to his (Boyle's) brother. The
pistol was fired, and the ball entered the back
OF Scott passing through his body, infictng a
