SHASTA COURIER.

SINGULAR AccfDENr.-On Thursday last,
near Lexington, party of threee men start.
to hunt for deer which one of the number
had wounded. They took different routes
leading TO the supposed vicinity Of their game.
One of the men, Richard Seymour, being
as he supposed ip advance of the rest, when
near the place indicated. observed what he
took to be the deer, moving in the brush at
2 distance of some seventy or eighty yards.
lie drew up his rife and fred quickly.
On reaching the spot he found that he had
shot one Of comrades through the head-a
man named Renick The ball entered just
above the cheek homecoming out on the
opposite side of the face. Seymour was al
most frantic with grief at the mishap, but
greatly to his joy it was found, on the arri-
val of surgeon, that the wound was not
necessarily fatal. Renick. at lasts accounts
was recovering. The next time Seymour
shoots at a deer, he will probably look twice
before he draws the trigger. In fact we
are not sure that he will not ignore deer
hunting altogether for the remainder of his
life.-San Jose Mercury.

THE MissIssIPPI ELEcrIoN.-There were
some wonderful arguments used in the late
canvass in Mississippi to keep the sand.hillers
and resin heels inside the Democratic fold
Said fervid orator of one of the coast towns
to the gaping crowd who at the barbecue had
just partaken of perhaps the first square meal
of fresh meat in twelvemonth, There
amt but just SO much meat and corn raised
in Harrison county-is there? Now if
thousand Yankees come into the country to
live, there won't be meat and corn enough
for them all. Then they'll be dearer-won't
they? That stands to reason. Then isn't i'm
migration a bad thing for the country? To
be sure it is"
Yes" shouted out one of the resin-heel
Democrats, !" fore the war we had enuff to
eat, but now, since these Yankees has come
into the country, we has to go Ave miles into
the woods to kill possum for dinner. The
fish is oil driven away from the coast, and
the oyster beds destroyed We's got to 90 to
work. wish these Yankees would leave US
to ourselves. They is ruinin' the coun.

An AFFAIR OF HoNoR.-Two gentlemen of
Gold Hill went oat, a few mornings since, to
settle little difficulty according to the code
duello-modern. One was a married man,
the other single. No seconds accompanied
them to the dark and bloody ground; but a
mutual friend followed after Arriving at
the fatal spot, the single man proposed that
they lay aside the deadly weapons and have
it out la Sayers and Heenan. Married man
acceeded to the proposition, and the mutual
friend held their pistols and coats. Went ut
it. Single man put an enormous head on
married man, which satisfied his wounded
honor. They shook hands, returned to town
and took a drink together. The single man
said he would just as soon =" fit" duel as
not ; but he " didn't want to make any wild
ows nor orphans-in this country Virginia

BoTTLING Fauna writer in the Gar
dener's Monthly says she no longer loses
any OF her bottles by reason of the heat in
bottling fruit. Formerly she, like most
people still do, put her empty bottles in
cold water and gradually heated it to boiling,
and then poured in her hot fruit. But many
of her bottles cracked, notwithstanding her
utmost care. Now, instead Of heating her
bottles, she vets a towel and doubles it four
or FIVE times and sets her bottles on it whilst
pouring in the fruit, and never loses bot
tie. She adds that - when the plan was
suggested to me it seemed so absurd and
unreasonable to cool, instead of heat, the
bottles, that l was at first afraid to try it,
but my scientific mentor insisted, and the
plan is success. but for what reason
can't tell" Will some of our housewives
try the experiment with single bottle or SO
and let the public hear the result?
