shooting Aronnd Loose.

A leaden bullet carrying that peculiar
whistle which, when once heard, can never
be forgotten, and which is caused by its
rapid passage through the air, after it is
shot out of a gun, passed unpleasantly
close to the ears of a couple about ten
o'clock last evening, as they sat on the
portico of a Tennessee street mansion.
The pair were quietly enjoying the cool
ing shades of the early night in a half
dreaming state, not thinking or caring for
board of health orders to get in doors at
the early hour of six. The shooter either
tried TO see how close he could drive a
shot TO the white Corinthian pillars,
against which the persons leaned,
or else he turned it loose at careless
random. 1t has been nearly IF
teen years since either party of the
second part have had flying pistol or
other balls singing so near them; but they
knew it, and thinking the shooter might
exhibit a reckless liberality and send out
more of the same sort they changed quar-
tiers without loss of time. This promis-
cuous shooting about at night time Is an
internal nuisance and needs checking up.
There is no fun in being shot at at the
best, and when we don't know what it is
for it begins to border on seriousness.
