DEATH OVER A GAME OF CARDs--On
Sunday evening, while some boatmen
we're sitting intheir boats in Newton Creek
New Jersey, they were startled by the
report of a pistol, followed Immediately
by the cry, Oh, I'm shot" Following
the direction of the sound, they came
upon group of boys one of whom was
endeavoring to bandage wound of one
of his companions. The boys stated
that the wounded boy whose name was
Peter Kane, a resident Of Hunters Point
with companion named Patrick Nc.
Grath, had been playing cards during
the greater part of the day, and had
also drank a great deal of lager. Kane
had just won some money from McGrath
at the time of the accident and as he
was in the act of taking in his winnings
McGrath raised pistol which had been
lying at his side, and in joking man
ner pointed it at Kane, at the same
time saying, Touch one penny and you
die" Immediately the pistol was dis
charged, the ball piercing young Kane's
heart, killing him instantly. Another
story is to the effect that while McGrath
was examining the pistol it went off, the
ball striking Kane. 1t is believed that
the shooting was accidental. Kane was
10 years of age and McGrath II. Nc
Grath has been arrested.

A BUNKER HILL INCIDENT. Among

NAL, was good joke on Gen. Sherman
During the excellent Grafton of Gen.
Devens an illusion to the presence Of
" General at the head of our armies ,
was received with enthusiastic cheering
which General Sherman acknowledged
by rising and bowling. The General
did not take the allusion at first, and
applauded with the rest, which created
considerable amusement among those
who noticed the act. This little mad
vertence pleasantly recalled the well
known anecdote of Franklin heartily
applauding at the French Academy the
most complimentary illusions to him
self.

= The July number of St Nicholas
very appropriately opens with a story
for independence day, and the other ar
ticles, most of them illustrated, sustain
the interest of the number clear to the
end. The lavishness with which the
editor of this periodical draws ON her
stores from month to month indicates
either abundant resources or a reckless
disregard for the future and we do not
believe it is the latter.

that Boston did her whole duty, in the

that the cordial reception she gave to all,
East, West, North and South, was not
only done in thoroughly faithful man

the well-known physician and surgeon,
DIR. j. s. Richmond of Woodstock.
DIR. C. C. Ellis, then of Barnard, was
first called to treat the fracture, but
desiring counsel, DR.. Richmond was
called upon to aid in setting the limb,
which he did on the 18th, bandaging
the limb in the usual and approved
method from the toes to the body, and
placing it in a doubleinclined plane
splint. The bandaging proved too tight,
and injured the limb. The main point
in dispute was whether DIR. Richmond's
employment was of that character and
extent as to require him to watch the
case after the setting of the limb, OF
whether it was the duty of DR.. Ellis tC
attend to that. There was a large
amount of evidence, and of very
conflicting character. Eight of The
most prominent surgeons of the county
gave testimony, mainly as experts, hav,
ing listened to the testimony as to tn,
treatment Of the fracture by DR.. Rich
mond. Their testimony was very in

THE TAMPING IRON ACCIDENT
pie in this section will remember the ex-
traordinary case of Phineas 2. Gage, at
Cavendish in 1848 through whose brain
atamping iron weighing thirteen pounds
was driven while engaged in drilling
rocks. Some one has recently stated the
case new in the Rutland Globe and gives
some particulars Of Cages subsequent
history. Gage, who at the time Of his
injury was in charge Of DR.. John NJ.
Harlow, now of Woburn, Mass, recov-
cred from the shock in good degree,
but with intellect impaired, but was so
as to be able to labor and transact bust
ness. DR.. Bigelow, then and now, if
living, leading physician of Boston,
could not believe it possible for a man
to live under such circumstances, made
personal examination before he could be
convinced. He took Gage to Boston,
and kept him while exhibiting him to
to his friends and the profession. After
the lapse of few years Gage went to
California, where he died some eight or
ten years after the accident, but from
causes disconnected with his original in
jury. His skull was brought back, and
is now in Boston, with the tamping iron.
