From the Sentinel, February &c:
We were awakened from our elumbers
Thursday night by unusual disturbing
sounds out upon the bosom of the waters.
The hour was about midnight, the weather
cool, the night dark. Selling tallow
candle, We went forth in the gloom until we
etood upon the levee bank face to face with
the Father of Waters. The moon was not on
1r<~ hut Tho <oDoron Aickor N hich ho16
in our hand shed its softening rays upon
the msiestic bosom Of the Mississippi, re.
yealing in the middle of the stream q man,
which his name is Boyton, floating down the
current of time toward the dominion of
Rex. He eounded his fog.horn and signaled
us to know how 70 avoid Cabanocey eddy.
We freighted spoon and hOated out to him
some carefully prepared instructions, which,
no doubt, enabled him to avoid this dan
gerous maelstrom. He thanked us and slid
away in the gloom. The water was very
vet that night and the darkness was very
dark. BoytOn appeared to be in them both.
On Wednesday morning, the twenty
third instant, young man named fnihp
Landry, Jr., about nineteen years OF age,
son Of Widow Landry, residing on the st.
Cecile plantation, on the right bank OF the
river, while ont in the field hunting, with
his gun on his shoulder in the usual manner,
accidentally stumbled, and in recovering
himself let 60 Of his gun, which fell to the
ground, striking one Of the hammers and
discharging the contents of the .barrel into
bis heel, literally tearing the foot to pieces.
With great difficulty he succeeded in reach
ing the house, when DR.. Gauthreaux was
sent for and the wound properly dressed.
1t is thought probable that the foot will
have to De amputa:ed.
