MYSTERIOUS Death.

David j. Walker, one of the pub
fishers of the Iown Farm Journal, of
Des Moines, Iowa, was found dead
on the morning of the Goth of Octo-
Der. 1t appears that the deceased re-
paired, on Saturday, to his Office
Immediately after supper, and went
to the money drawer and took $3.50,
and this was found to have been has
tily placed in his vest pocket. He ap-
pears also to have taken his revolver
from the same drawer, with a view
to having it in his possession on his
way home. He then appears to have
sat down in chair to examine the
lock or load it, and in this examine
ton the pistol was discharged, the
ball entering his abdomen, and pro-
ducing death at once. He was found
at 8 o'clock Sunday morning beside
the chair he had occupied, which was
turned upon its side, and his hat was
still on his head. Another theory CT
his death is that he committed sui
eide. He leaves a family.
The Davenport Democrat says Mr..
Walker had friends in Davenport,
some Of whom believe he committed
suicide,

A FATAL SHOT,
Sad Death Of Charley Mccaw b,
the Accidental Discharge
Of Gun.
Fairfield Ledger.


1t devolves upon us this week to
mention another of those common,
yet distrcssingly painful, accidents
resulting from the accidental dis
charge Of fire arms. On Saturday
last two men named Worden and
Winters started for hunt on Cedar
bottom, taking with them Charley,
son of w. Y. McGaw, aged about l6
years. The hunting was not very
good and Sunday afternoon prepara-
tons were made for the return of the
party to the city. Charley had one
of the guns, an old style musket, in
his hands, and while putting it in the
wagon it was by some means fired.
He was not more than foot or two
from the muzzle of the piece, and re-
ceived the entire charge of shot in his
bowels, on the left side, making a
terrible wound,-one from which re-
covcry was impossible. Upon the
arrival of the surgeons an examina.
ton developed the fact that the en-
tire load had penetrated his body
and that the intestines were literally
cut to pieces, and from the wounC
made by the shot they protruded il
great punches. Everything was done
to make his situation painless and t.
delay the passing away as long a!
possible. For several hours he ap
peared to be conscious of all tina
was going on around him, but still il
a sort of stupor from which he neve
awoke, and about 8 o'clock his spiri
!, took its fight.

THE RECENT STORM.
Its Effect upon the United States
Steamer ossipee-A Peculiar
State Of AffaIrS,

New YoRK, Nov. la letter from
Key West, giving the experience of
the United States steamer Ossipce, in
the storm of the 18th and Goth of Oc-
tobcr, says the men in getting about
the decks to their duties were thrown
violently from their feet, and blind
ed by the salt spray, They were
obliged to go cropping about Ms if
they were in total darkness. They
could only stick to their stations by
the most desperate struggling against
the matches, gratings, doors, deck
buckets, and many other articles that
were being swept back and forth
across the decks by the rushing Of the
water, as the ship rolled and tossed.
Breathing was difficult, and the air
taken into the lungs was SO loaded
with sea salts that it caused excessive
irritation, producing violent cough
ing and vomiting. The suffering OF
the men was most intense, especially
among the firemcn and coal beavers
who were not only deprived of ven
tilation but compelled to inhale the
salt water steam produced by the
seas rushing into the fire room. /,
was then thought advisable to en-
courage the men by the use of stimu
lants. The surgeon found a sufficient
quantity to give all hands tot each
and sent it to the cabin to be distrib
uted.
Il The effect of the storm on the AMI
mails on board was peculiar. Cat

storm and were not seen for five day
: afterward. The dog Daniel, o splcn
