The Lyons Clinton Coz Mirror
says that on the LIST inst. Messrs. McMa-
nan x Evans, of that town, met with
heavy loss by the burning OF 600 tons of
hay, hat was stacked near the 6istillery.
The FIRE when first discovered was but.
small, but spread with such rapidity that
both stacks were soon enveloped in flames,
and. of course, all attempts to extinguish
it were futile. A large amount of hay is
required each day to feed the seven
hundred cattle which they are fattening
at that place. and it will probably be
dliiieut to replace that which was burnt.

posing it was unlosded. Young Chiites-
ter. a lad OF sixteen, pointed the gun at
Forsche, lad of thirteen, and fred.-
The gun was loaded with shot The
charge struck him in the head near the
eye and passed around the skull and
through it, infcting terrible wound.

another sad warning to parents to be care
full how they leave loaded guns in reach of
children.

not enough force in the charge to injure
him. 1t is not supposed that they in
tended to kill the boy, but did 1t out of
pure 'cussedness. Pagan has before
