Shot for Singing PinnfOre.

hltnlhOuut Nt'l oldNS'
A few evenings ago, while two young
men were visiting Il lady friend Oh
Church Hill, one of them began tc
sing Farewell my own, light of my
life, farewell" a selection from Pima
fore. His friend arose from his seat
and went to an adjoining room, and
soon returned with a small rife in his
hands, and remarking in a iocular
manner, "The penalty for singing
Pinafore is death to the offender y
raised the weapon (unloaded as usual)
and pulled the trigger. The piece eX-
ploded with a sharp crack, and the
Pinafore vocalist was heard to ex-
claim, "I am shotw This caused
great CONSERVATION in the room. An
examination was made, and it was dis
covered that the young man had a
slight flesh wound in his right leg just
above the knee. But for the heavy
side seam in the gentleman's panta-
looms, which caused the ball to
glance, the wound would have been
serious, and might have resulted in
the loss of the limb.
