lay in Winthrop, he rode home In an open
wagon, exposed to the raw night cir, and
arrived thoroughly chilled. Physicians
were called and the wound dressed, but
too late. The previous neglect and expo
sure were too much for him, and Mr.. Cecil
died on Tuesday.
The other accident, resulting in the
instant death If Elijah Chittester, Jr., Of
Littleton. happened on Monday Of the
present week. Mr.. Chittester, . young
man not exceeding so. was = great hunt
er, and may be more familiarity known
to our readers by his title Of Maj" or
MAJOR" On the day mentioned
Mr.. Chittester started for the Little
Wapsic to hunt ducks. He WAS found
by his brother . few hours later dead
beside his boat on the hank Of the river,
with gun shot wound in his left side.
The charge had also passed through his
arm. His gun was in the boat. The
inevitable presumption is that, placing
his gun in the boat with the muzzle
toward the bow, he started to launch the
boat into the water when ito motion
discharged the gun with fatal effect. A
portion Of the charge penetrated the
heart. Mr.. Chittister leaves wife and
three children.
The third accident arising from the
use or rather abuse Of "villainous salt
petre," was the bursting Of . heavily
charged gun, yesterday. in the hands Of
J. M. Gillette, by which that gentleman
lost two fingers Of his left hand, and is
mighty thankful that it was not his head.
The charge. however, sped to its mark
and killed two ducks which were care.

To Dun PATRoNs-It is some time
since anything resembling dun has ap-
peared in the pages Of the BULLETIN, and
on general principles it is contrary to our
rule to make such appeals through the
paper. But at this time needing every
thing which is our due, we feel called up
on to ask for it. We have contracted
for new press, which will cost nearly or
quite $1,000. This is large sum to
raise, but we can do it if those who are
in arrears to us will lend helping hand.
There is no necessity for multiplying
words We feel convinced that the large
majority of our debtors will respond
promptly to this hint of our needs and
pay part if not all Of their Indebtedness.
BY so doing they will earn our lasting
gratitude.

money to spend in advertising, the pro-

SAwTELLE's CONFERENCE.-The ORA
matte company will open at Wilcox
Hall on Monday evening next for short
season of three nights. The Quincy
Wing thus speaks of the acting of Miss
Brcslau, the leading lady of the troupe:
Last night was triumph for Melissa
Breslau, the lovely tragediennc, in the
title role Of that beautiful classic gedy,
"Medea." Never in Quincy has such II
production been so faithfully carried out,
or so well executed. We hope our citi-
zens will turn out en- mdssc and welcome
this truly deserving troupe with crowded
houses. 1t is SO seldom that first class
company visits Quincy, it becomes our
duty to encourage one like the present,
and prove our appreciation Of their
talent. Melissa Breslau and j. A. Saw
tclle have never been approached bv
former artists in our city, while the
whole company is deserving of praise
for the able manner in which it lends its
support.
The pieces for Monday night are Lu'
cretia Borgia and the Rough Diamond.
