George, son of Mr.. Charles Turner, of this
city, aged about l6 years, met with bad ac-
cident yesterday from pistol while in the
woods short distance from the city, hunting
for game. At the time the accident occurred he
held a bunch of May flowers in his left hand,
and pistol in his right hand. Seeing a wood
chuck he attempted hurriedly to cock the
pistol, when there was premature explosion.
The charge of shot went directly through
Turner'S hand, making bad wound and tear
ing the skin from and mangling his fingers
putting an end to woodchuck hunting, in his
him, and although the hand will be saved, it
is thought the lad will lose the use of the two
middle fingers.

A little waif in the shape of boy, named
Eugene Verrill, about 10 years of age, was
picked up on the streets. by the police, about
midnight on Saturday. The police could
find out nothing from him, there being an
impediment in his speech, and took him to
Jail. Sheriff Thompson, who understands
Dutch, drew from the boy some information
in regard to his wanderings. He said that he
belongs in Bddeford, where his parents and
brothers and sisters live; when he started
from home he got aboard the cars, but hav-
ing no money. he was put off; he jumped
aboard the next train that came along, but
was again put off. This sort of practice he
kept up until he got to Bangor, sometimes
riding on the passenger cars and sometimes
on the engine He says that he stopped at
the Bangor House three weeks working his
board in the stable. He was at the Reform
School twenty weeks, short time ago,
for running away from home. The
Bangor police tell a different story from
this, and say that the boy stopped at the Ban
gor House but one night; that he went to Mat
tawamkeag and Moluncus and that he said he
belonged in Kennebunkport. Ills evident that
he is great liar for such little boy. Sher-
if Thompson telegraphed to City Mar
shall Hill of Biddeford, and an answer has
been received with instructions to hold the
boy and he would come to the city for him.

THE Evils OF HIGH- HEELED Doors. The
high lsccts which it is now the fashion to put
on meise,2 woineu's and clildrens boots and
shoes, is beginning to attract attention, from
their numerous injurious effects. The prac-
tice is openly condemned by learned surgeons,
and Br*a9Nm. II. Pancost remarked the
other day, after performing painful opera
ton oa raa interesting little girl, whose feet
had besn Euined by wearing wrongly con-
strucsed shoes, this is the beginning of a
large harvest of such cases." And what
else can be expected? Mothers walk the
streets with heels on their boots from two
and half to three and half inches high,
and their daughters follow the same bad and
barbarous practice. In many cases severe
sprans sOf the ancles are suffered. But these
are not the worst fruits of the high heel
torture: The toes are forced against the
fore part of the boot, and soon begin to as
sumo unnatural positions and in many cases
they are actually dislocated. In others the
greatitoe passes under the foot, the tendons
harden in that position, and lameness is con-
tracted for which there is no cure but the
knife. When the injury does not take this
form, it assumes other aspects almost as
.,:orribie, and it is high time that society
should set its face as flint against any con-
tinuatiea of the absurd and unnatural Gus
tom.
The Sun FLowER.-lhe suntlower is very
useful for many purposes. There is no seed
that chicken will tatten on so quick as that
of the sunhower. 1t will speedily cure colds,
coughs and cramps. 1t is the best thing
ever FED to horses to give their hair bright
and glossy appearance, and given to a foun-
dered horse will give immediate relief. Give
horse a small handful at each feeding and
he will never founder. The stalk also
makes very good substitute for bean poles
while growing.
