The Herald has the following items:
We regret to learn that q little
white boy, whose name we do not
know, accidentally shot himself to
death, last week, near Frog Level. 1t
appears he was going a-gunning, and
to prevent favoritc dog from fol-
lowing, dubbed his gun to drive him
back, when the contents were dis
charged into his body, killing him
almost instantly. Another sad COM
mcnt on the imprudent use of fire
arms by children.
We learn that our fellow citizen,
Mr.. II. H. Folk, who lives about
four miles from the Court House,
suffered severely by fire on Thursday
last. in the loss of his gin house,
screw, gin, fan, all of his wheat and
three bales of cotton, besides his
barn, stables, corn crib, fifty bushels
Of corn, straw, fodder and all of his
gearing, plows, stocks, &c The fire
was the result of accident. Two of
his children while playing, too young
to understand the danger, struck a
match near some straw, which imme-
diately took fire and spread with
such rapidity as to very much endan-
ger their lives.
