ACCIDENTALLY SHOT. - Andres s.
Hamilton, q young nan who resides on
n street between Sixth and Seventh, in
this city, was accidentally shot last
Sunday. He, in company with others,
went below the city twelve or fifteen
miles on a hunting tour. After becom-
ing u little tired Of the hunt they con-
cluded to have "a swim |" in the river.
Suiting their action to the design they
undressed themselves preparatory to the
bathing. When about ready to 60 in
the water they commenced skylarking
with each other, and thoughtlessly came
in contact with one Of the guns, which
was discharged, the load passing en-
tirely through the muscular part of
Hamilton's right thigh. The gun being
neal him at the time of the discharge
the wad was forced along with shot, in
a compact charge, decorating the flesh
the full size Of the gun. 1t occurred
about IL o'clock in the morning, nearly
fifteen miles from the city and, under
the necessity of travelling slowly, he no
doubt had TO suffer much pain before
any medical aid could DO procured. At
night the party arrived i'll the city, and
DR.. Simmons was soon procured to at
tend the wounded man. We were at
the residence of the unfortunate victim
Of carelessness yesterday, and learned
from the doctor that the wound Is an
extensive one and likely to be attended
with a great deal Of pain. From the
character Of the wound it islikely to in
duce considerable inflammation, other
wise it may not be serious; but under
the most favorable circumstances be
will be confined to his bed for a long
while from the effects of tho shot.-Sae.

JAMES A.

-
The telegraph the death OF
James A. McDougall, ex-United States
Senator from California. He was born
in Bethlehem, Albany county, New
York, November 10th, 1917, and was
consequently nearly fifty years OF age.
He received his education at the Albany
grammar school. He assisted in the
survey of the irst railway ever built IN
this country-,he Albany and Science
tady. He studied law, and removed to
Pike county, Illinois, in 1887. In 1912
he was chosen Attorney General Of 1lli-
nois, aud reelected in ~. In ls4s he
originated and accompanied an explor-
ing expedition to Rio del Norte, the
ella and Colorado; and then immigrated
TO this coast and commenced the prac-
tice Of his profession in San Francisco.
In 1850 he was elected Attorney General
| of California; and vas q Representative
in Congress from California from '5a to
'55; declining a denomination. He made
great addition to his reputation as a
lawyer by his argument in the libel suit
Of Gilbert A. Grant vs.. the S. +. Bulls-
Tin, which he gained for the plaintiff,
On the breaking out of the war he made
the most ardent professions Of loyalty,
and in '6l was elected a Senator in Con-
gress for six years. In the Senate he
might have been at the head OF the
Union side, had he remained steadfas'
to the Union cause and RETAINED from
drinking. As it was, his record is bril-
liant in manifestation of genius, but is
sad on account Of his utilization with
traitors and his intemperance. His
speech on the French invasion of Mexico
was q mastery effort. He was a scholar
and an orator. For the particulars Of
his life, recounted above, we are in.
debted to the Congressional Biography,

RApipIrY OF NERVE FoRcE.-It is now
shown that though the transmission of
sensation 10 so rapid that the effect
seemed to be cotaneous with the cause,
nevertheless il is not so, and there is in
reality an interval Of time between the
prick Of a pin on the foot and the per-
ception Of the sensation-an interval so
minute, indeed, as to be inappreciable,
for no space Of time less than the tenth
part of a second can be distinguished
BY the natural powers of man. By me-
~cnanical contrivsnces and electricity,
however, the velocity Of nervous agency
can be undoubtedly determined. The
nerves of a frog recently killed were
excited by secondary voltaic currents,
and the contraction Of the muscle
thereby produced was shown by magni-
flying the effects, so that in one case a
small flag was raised; in another ar
rangement the effect was seen by releas-
ing a trigger, and in n third case lines
we're stretched on = blackened glass
that were afterward exhibited by the
electric lamp. In a creature so loug as
s whale, the fact OF a barpoou having
been thrust into his tail would not be
announced in the creatures brain till q
second after il had entered, and it re-
quired another second to transmit the
force needed to rove the extremity of
its tail.
