to dinner, he trpped, throwing his gun from
his shoulder to the ground, which, striking
muzzle down, bounded further down the hill,
the next time striking on the hammer, dis
charging the gun, the shot taking effect in the
f1eshy part of the right forearm. DR.. Weston
was Immediately called, who succeeded in ex-
tracing twenty-four shot, some seventy more
remaining in the arm. Holden is doing finely.
