THE ACCIDENT AT FREEHOLD.

To THE EDITOR OF TIE HERALD
In view of the many distorted and untrue reports
going the rounds OF the press in regard the unhappy
accident here Wednesday evening the 9th inst have
deemed advisable to ask to insert the accompany
Ing account which, coming as it does from official
source, may be relied strictly true On Wednes
day evening the boys had been detained somewhat
than usual at prayers by brief address from the
principal in reference 10 the revival az Princeton
that II nearly hafpast eight O'Clock by the time
they reached their rooms. On doing Harry NJ
Hunter, of Newark, took from the drawer of the
bureau small pistol Eclipse make, single barrelled
carrying x2-10o cartridge, belonging TO his room
maie A p. Field, OF New Orleans La This he looked
at for some little time and laid II down the
bureau, supposing, the rest did, that the
shell Of the cartridge empty AZ that
moment Gilbert L Taylor, of Trenton, reached into
the room and picked up the pistol little Hunter lean
ing against the doorpost Taylor snapped II several
times pointing IL At the noor and was on the point of
again cooking it when II exploded, the ball striking
Hunter on the zygomatc process Of the en temporal
bone, glancng of and piercing the temporal muscle
aud squamous portion Of the bone and lodging in the
brain Hunter put his hand 10 his face and staggered
into the room, the blood pouring from the
wound BY tins time the writer had reached the spot
and the boy washed undressed and got to his bed
In twenty minutes DR.. John vought was on the spot
and everything done that his long experience and
skill could suggest The strictness OF our rule against
firearms may be judged from the fact that since Sep
tember Field has had the pistol locked In his tLnnk,
and had only that morning placed Il In his drawer No
blame can attach Our discipline is as strict as
common sense will allow. Hunter is still living his
symptoms being slightly more favorable than at any
time since his injury W. Z. V. H0RNER, Sec,y.
