CARELESS SHooTING.-One day the
latter psrt of last week very serious
shooting affair occurred in the town
ship of Edinburgh, about mile and
a-half east of CampbeIlsport, on the
farm of Mr.. Moses Earl. Mr.. Turn
bull was chopping wood for Mr.. Earl
and Edwin Earl, son of Moses Earl,
was witnessing the choppiDg. While
there young man named Thomas
Lowrie, who had been out hunting,
came up with his gun in his hand, and
approaching young Earl, drew up the
gun and said TO him, "your money or
your life." BY some means or other
the piece was discharged. the contents
striking young Earl IN the face and
breast. He had on thick coat, which
fortunate circumstance, it is thought,
saved his life. DR.. Spires, OF Edin-
burgh, was called and extracted three
of the shot from young Earl's face but
several more remain in his person.
At our latest advices the young man
was confined to his bed, but it is hoped
he will fully recover from his injuries.
Young LOwrie says that the whole af-
fair was in sport, and that he did not
know that the gun was cooked.
