eight years of age. The little boy had
thrown his ball into the garnet of the house
and asked his father to lift him up through
a trap-door to hunt for it. Whilst in the
garnet he found an old musket and whilst
playfully pointing it down the hatch, it was
accidentally discharged, the load, consisting
of about eighteen shot and slugs took effect
in the arms and legs of his father, who was
standing below awaiting to lift the little fel-
low down. DR.. Magruder was called in at
tendance, and rendered surgical aid. AL
though very painful, we are glad to state
that the wounds are not thought to be dam
gerous.-Shenandoah Herald.
