was playing about Mr.. Williams tannery,
as is quite common with the children in
llElL nClSubOI uOOu. IlLlOl4NB 1T Il llLlt
when no one else was in the shop, he fell
into the steam vat. He houndered about
for some little time, and succeeded in get
ting out. Just at that time Mr.. Williams
came into the shop; and hearing his
screams went to him, finding him in an
awful condition. He at once took him to
his home and every care was taken, but
he died in about an hour. He was per

conversed with his mother, although his
flesh was completely scalded and his eye
sight destroyed.-OhiO Democrat.
\ SAD SHOOTING AFFAIR.-On last
Wednesday evening. the members of the
Boy Hook and Ladder Company had a
parade and an election of officers. About
s o'clock, after the parade and election of
officers, while the boys were yet standing
around Mr.. HOover's stable, where they
stored the truck, it appears that Cora Bell
True, aged about nine years, went there to
get her brother to go home with her. A
boy by the name of Franklin Lowry, aged
about thirteen years, told her to 90 home
or he would shoot her. Not obeying his
orders, he drew a pistol, held it within a
foot of her face and fired, two shot enter
ing her right eye forcing it out. Five or
six shot entered her face at the same time.
DIR. Firestone was Immediately called in.
At first it was supposed she could not
live; but we are glad to learn that there
are now hopes of her recovery, even with
the loss of her right eye. The boy Low
ry gave himself up on the l4th to Justice
Henry, who committed him for hearingon
Monday. Accordingly, on Monday he
had a hearing before Justice Henry. AT
