-Thrcugh sheer carelessuess, on Tuesday
last, oeOnee Horn met with an accident,
which fortunately was not fatal, though de-
cidedly serious. He got powd r and shot
at Ruch's store, saying he wanled to shoot
chicken. The gun was an old one and the
charge too heavy, aud when he fired the
gun exploded, msngling his left hand very
severely. DR.. zern Immediately attended
70 the wound. Prior To the shooting George
made some foolish remarks, saying that he
would shoot chicken or himself. and bid
several persons goodbye, hoping to meet
them in another. world il no more in this.
He was reproved by those who heard him
Jest thus foolishIy. We have repeatedly
heard such absurd remarks only ~ feel dis
gust al them, and may this not be accepted
as warning by those guilty of like foolish
expressions.
w. C. Weiss, ESQ.,, has been elected su-
perintendent Of tbs Evangelical Sunday
school for the present year, aud delivered IA
short and impressive address upon taking
charge lsst Sunday. We have marked the
progress of this school, and, having been a
member Of the ssme for many years, we are
well acquainted with its system of manage-
ment. Aside from the benefits we have
personally received, we have witnessed the
grandj good work that Mr.. Weiss has
performed for the school. Like Olkers, who
attempt To rebuke sin and combat evil, he
has met with discodragements; but when
prejudice as.aied, he still bore himself a.
mong us Ms the patient, christian gentleman
the generous benelactor. As an advocate
of gospel temperance he is ever tlady and
defiant. With steady purpose, single aim
and unHinching fidelity, he declafes and
oxempii6es the principles Of the same. His
influence in the church and school needs NJ
comment, and now that he has resumed the
superintendency, we are happy To cnngratu
late and wish the school abundsut success
in It's wise aud commendable chnice.
