MARROW EscAPE.-A young man by
the name of Dunlap, out rabbit hunting
in the hills to the left Of Gold Canon,
and near the Silver City cemetery, yes
terday afternoon, came near shootin"
the top of his own head off. He was
running after q hare he had wounded,
with his gun in his hand, when he trip
ped and stumbled over a bunch Of sage
brush, and the lock Of his gun caught
in some manner, causing the piece to
explode. Tue charge Of shot passed so
very neal his head as to burn the hair
of from the right hand side, destroy his
hat, and badly lacerate the upper por-
ton Of his ear. An inch or two nearer
would have settled his case pretty effec-
tually. He considers himself very for
tunate 10 escaping without more serious
injury. In conversation with him this
morning, he described the sensation rs
yery peculiar at the time Of the acei-
dent, the muzzle Of the gun being within
a foot Of his ear, making sucn a fearful
noise aud conclusion that he at hrst
was firmly convinced that his head was
blown sky-high. He felt OF bis Uranium
several times before be could fully
assure himself that it still remained fast
upon his shoulders. His right ear was
so completely deafened that be has not
vet recovered the hearing Of it.
The Towy REsxRvorR.-Marshal Cum
mings and Chief Engineer Gibson, last
week gave our Town Reservoir a thor
ourh overhauling and cleaning out,
which il greatly needed, and for the
foresight in doing which, these officers
are entitled TO credit. In the first place,
the reservoir was emptied Of all the
water ; the covering Of the reservoir was
then removed, aud workmen with their
wheelbarrows and shovels set to work
wheeling out the mud, slum, gravel,
and stones, which had collected all over
the bottom Of the reservoir 10 the depth
of at least four feet. The place was
thoroughly cleaned out, occupying from
twelve TO twenty men for four days and
nights. Yesterday the water was again
turned into the reservoir, and at this
present writing there is a suficiency TO
meet the demands to extinguish any hre
which may occur in Gold Hill.
