A severe accident occurred yesterday forenoon
al the corner OF Franklin aud Arch streets
in which, by the recklessness of a gamin, a
gentleman was disfgured for life. 1t seems
that the boy had insulted an Italian vender who
was standing on the corner, and on being re-
piled to as he deserved, retired to the opposite
slde OF the street, and threw stone with great
violence at the italian. 1t struck the curbstone
with such violence as to rebound and strike

could be recovered and taken away during
which he lost great deal of blood. The bow |

PLAYING WITH A PIsToL.-A shocking case |
OF shooting occurred IN Minneapolis this after
noon, about O'Clock. Two little boys one of
them son of n. +. Griswold, of that CITY, aged
six years, were playing at the residence of Mr.,
GrlsWold, and becoming tired of other sport

want to go up stairs and see his papa's pistol
OF course the little fellow was anxious 10 see the
weapon, and the boys went up TO Sir. Grisgold |
room. Going to the bureau drawer, he opened
1t, and took out a loaded revolver. Putting the |
muZZle directly against his breast he said, aSee
me shoot myself" at the same time drawing |
back the hammer. The cartridge at once exc
ploded and the ball entered the left breast inst
above the heart, passed around to the left, FOL |
lowing the ribs, and out at the side The little |
suiferer at once received surgical treatment, !

An ECONOMICAL MISUNDERSTANDING q |
telegraph clerk in France refused to transmit a |
message in these words: "Third epistle of |
John, verses Is and II ," under the law which |
f0rbics transmission OF dispatches not written IN
plain language. Reference to the text indicates
that the dispatch was merely an economy of |
words: 81 have many things TO write, but will |
not with ink and pen write unto thee; but / |
trust shall shortly see thee, and we shall |
speak face to face"
