A Mr.. Hanks, who, with his young
wife, had been stopping at enc of the
hotels in st. Paul, Minnesota, for q
few days, on Wednesday last, while
cleaning his revolver, accidentally dis.
charged it, shooting his wife through
the heart, killing her instantly.
This is only one out of scores of par
agraphs Of like character and import
that we meet with daily in the papers.
The practice of carrying firearms with
out reason, and handling them with
out sense or judgment, leads to more
disasters than could possibly occur in
reasonably well-ordered communities,
from all the causes against which peo-
pie hope by these means to protect
themselves. Conscience or something
else seems to be making towards of
half the people and fools of the bai
ance. u
