SHOT was heard from the hou:e. Not
coming home at night search was made
for him, but without avail, and next
morning Mr.. Fienming took his track
and followed it until it came upon the
body ofthe unfortunate hunter by the
side Of a deer, Which had been shot
and had its throat cut. His gun, a iit
arm with one barrel for shot and the
other ritled, lay by his feet with both
barrels discharged. 4 bullet IN the
mllzz!e Of the rifle-barreI and his open
knife on the ground, with othercipum-
stances, seemed to indicate that he had
shot the deer and after cutting itsthroat
was in the act of re-loading the rifle.
He was cutting the patching from
about the mtlz1le when, in some nu-
accountable manner the shotgun bar
rel was discharged, and single shot
striking the knife blade, glanced and
entered his eye, causing Instant death.

BRYANT FOR President. -
Here's What tie Chicago RepHdN-
can says on Blair's suggestion .!
running the poet Bryant as a cal-
didatc fer the Presidential chair
against Grant:
Blair's i,lca is y queer one, to
run William Cullen bryant against
Grant as the fgure-hcadofthe sore
head Republicans and discouraged
Democrats, on platform Of free
trade. Mr.. Bryant is as vglcrable
as Horace Greeley; he, too, par
takes OF the bran,bread which cheers
but not incbriates; he neither af-
fects profanity, prize strawberries,
protection or preposterous panta-
looms. Being aspoet, he could send
uoWh ms annual message Iii rhyme,
dcvoting one canto to San Domin-
60, ard another to the reduction OF
the Debt, and could write his own
campaign Songs. Thanks be to the
bran-bred, he has lived SO long that
most Of his relations are dead. He
never was q tanner. In every re-
spect he is superior to Mr.. Grant as
a fashionable candidate. by all
means let us have Mr.. Bryant for
our next President.
