doubling OF their number before Wednesday.

LoSG BRANCH, n. j., August u, 1871.
This morning. about nine O'Clock, DIR. II. T. Helm
bold of New YORK, engaged a hack al the Arcade
Hotel, and borrowing ouble-barrelled shotgun
from the proprietor told the driver 10 go along the
beach north, as he wanted to shoot some sand
snpc. After going about n mile from the Branch
he alightcd from the carriage and stepped short
distance placed the but OF the gun on the ground
and the muzzle nndcr his chin. Being very short
man he had to stretch 10 reach the trigger and IN
doing this the muzzle OF the gun was thrown
side and the charge passed along side his face
merely singing II. The colored driver i'm
mediately ran toward the DOCTOR but before he
could reach HIM the doctor had emptied the second
barrel In the same manner. Noe being injured by
either charge, the colored man then got him into
the carriage and drove back TO the Arcade, where
the doctor washed the powder from his face and
drove home
There is a rumor that the Doctor attempted 10
shoot himself with pistol AFTER reaching MS home
This IL altogether unIounded
Naturally enough this Jdur pas OF the Doctors
caused considerable excitement among the
hotels and cottages at duh, monotonons Long
