Mr.. Girds place some twelve miles south
of here he cooked both barrels of his shot
gun and discharged one of them He pro-
ceeded to reload the empty barrel while for
getfully permitting the hammer to the other
barrel to remain cooked. While jaming the
load down the jar let the already cooked
hammre down resulting in the discharge
bf the loaleI barrel. The charge OF shot
passed through his right wrist taking with
It the end of the small bone of the arm at
the wrist besides several small bones of the
wrist. He was taken home to Mr.. Smiths
to where Drs Lee and Farra were called
who amputated the small bone of the arm
and also the little finger and all bones con-
nected with it back to the wrist. At last
accounts the afflicted man was doing as well

Shot With a Toy Pistol.

On Christmas day young Lyman Kelsay
was accidentally shot with a toy pistol.
The ball passed through the clothing and
entered the tleshy part of his arm about a
quarter of an inch taking into tile wound
with it a quantity of cloth. On the whole
it made quite a painful wound to have been
caused by one of Santaclaus toys. We
see through the different papers that
such accidents are of frequent occurrence
and yet people will manufacture the toy
pistol, others will sell them and others will
buy them for their children. 1t would be a
good law that would make it criminal
offence for any person to manufacture or
sell any kind of aftey pistol. Such reg
ulation might save to !. great many children
afnger or perfect hand.

of myself and wife, most grateful and SIN
cere thanks to the kind donors of the ele-
egant and valuable presents made to us
through the medium of the Christmas tree
in the Presbyterian Church Saturday
evening last Such manifestations are most
encouraging to minister, aside from the
solid and substantial part, which in his case
must have been considerable. The refec-
tion that he is remembered and cherished in
the hearts of his people, tends to deepen
his concern for their well-being and to cheer
him in his labor of love.
