SINGULAR AccipESr. On Friday, the 9th
inst. DIR. $. II. Waters, of Franklin District,
was called to visit young man named VIM.
Dempsey residing in Howard county, near
Watersville, in this county, who had accident
ally shot himself in the leg. The Doctor
attempted TO drive up the hill, opposite Wa.
tersyille, on the north road leading through
the farm of VIM. X. Burdette, Esq. when the
buggy suddenly slipped from the icy bed of
the road, throwing the horse down, and
horse and buggy went sliding down the dc.
elivity "until caught by some trees which
Providence had kindly caused to grow in the
| right place. and which prevented them from
going iato the falls below. The Doctor had
taken the precaution to get out Of the buggy
and was endeavoring to lead bis horse over
the 10y pass, and when the buggy slid from
the road and the horse fell, the Doctor fell
also. g O what a fall was there my country.
men y We are happy to learn that when
the Doctor fell at was mostly on that part
where nature hasappropriated goodly supply
of muscle and adipose tissue so there was no
concussion.of the brain, and no bones were
broken. The horse, after lodging against the
tree, ''laid as quiet as lamb" and by its
! piteous looks seemed to ask the Doctor please
| to extricate me quickly from this dilemma"
which, with the assistance Of Messrs. Bur.
dette, Hatfield and others, was speedily done.
The only damage sustained was a slight frae-
| ture Of one shaft. The Doctor thinks, that,
taking everything into consideration as
the old man said who went to the races and
got his horse beaten and afterwards got kicked
by his own horse, he had pooty good
| time, after all. "Alrs well that endswell."

gan. Eight birds were killed by each, but I
one OF Brandenburg's fell outside Of the |
boundary. The gun used by Mr.. Gary was
OF an improved pattern, with large bore,
while the one used by Mr.. Brandcnburg was
No. II bird gun. Owing to the indiscre.
ton ofsome of Brandenburg' hackers the large
gun OF Mr.. Gary was not ruled out; that he
expected it would be, is evineed by the fact
that he brought smaller one with him. The
same gentlemen have been matched twice be.
fore, oneo Gary was beaten, and the second
time he paid the forfeit. Mr.. Gary can have
another chance If he desires for any amount
from 500 to $1,000. Several hundred per.

erable money changed hands on the result.

whenever you feel like indulging in little
sport.
LEST.-Among those who undertake TO
observe this solemn and penitential season,
there are thoughtless and inconsiderate per.
sons who talk much about what they shall
eat, or what they shall not eat, and generally
in a complaining vein make it the subject OF
idle or obtrusve remark. Such persons need
not be told of theimpropriety Of such course
