ACCIDENTAL HoM1o1DE-A SAD AFFAIR

ACCIDENTAL HoAIICIDE-A SAD AFFAIR
Yesterday, at Ellington, in this county,
an unfortunate affair occurred, resulting
IN the death of colored boy, named Job
Satchwell, at the hands of DR.. w. ". Ny.
ers, formerly OF this city, but now a resi-
dent OF Ellington. 1t is the old tale of a
loaded gun from which the cap had been
removed and which was unwittingly dis
charged by means of the decorating pow
der left upon the tube. gun in the hands
OF DR.. Myers, loaded bus uncapped, was
playfufly pointed at the boy Job, and the
trigger pulled, when the i,uE was d;scharg-
ed. the load taking effect in the head of
the unfortunate man and killing him in
stantly. Previous to its discharge, DR..
Myers had pointed the piece towards the
ceiling and pulled the trigger, when, as
there was no explosion. it was thought to
be safe and harmless, and was next pointed
at SatchweIl and was discharged, with the
deplorable consequences We have stated.
DIR. Myers, who appears deeply depress-
ed by the unfortunate occurrence, hastened
to surrender himself to J. L. Rhoades,
Esquire. who placed him in the custody
OF an officer, to await, we presume, the
verdict of 8 jury of inquest which will be
and held to-day.

Cape Fenr Agricultural association.

Our attention has been directed to an err
ror in regard to the Cape Fear Agricultu-
raj Association holding q Fair next FALL
arising doubtless out of the action of the
New Hanover Agricultural Society, the pro-
ceedings of q meeting Of the President and
Directors of which lately appeared in our
columns. The County Society determined
not to hold Fair next Fall, but the Elk
ecutive Committee Of tho Cape Fear Agri-
cultural Association are now engaged in
preparing to hold their Second Annual
Fair during the Fall. Nothing will be left
undone to make it grand success With
the successful experiment OF last year our
Fair all that it should be. We look for
ward to it with much interest. The rouu-
tation of this section IL dependent upon
its merits to greater degree than is gen
orally supposed. Visitors from abroad at

The CASE OF ACCIDENTAL HOMICIDE. -
DR.. w. W. Myers, who accidentally shot
and killed negro boy by the name of
Job Satchwell at Ellington Thursday,
came before Judge Cantwell yesterday on
a writ of Aabeas corpus. It has been al
ready stated that DR.. Myers at once sur
rendered himself to Squire Rhoades; and
yesterday morning Rhoades thought that
it was due to himself and DR.. Myers that
the latter should go to Jail. And to jail he
committed him without waiting for the
verdict of the Coroner's jury. Affidavit
was at once made and writ of Aabeas cor
pus issued by Judge Cantwell, before whom
the prisoner was brought and who decided
that there were no grounds for his impris-
onment. Judge Russell being out of town
this was the only way to get a writ of
ha6eaS corpus, but after the decision of the
Supreme Court in the case of Mary McLau-
rim, it seems rather queer that Judge Cant
