Hoist by His own Petard.

A report reached East Washington this
morning that a colored man, named Phillip
Carter, had been fatally shot on his farm,
just beyond the District line, by the acci-
dental discharge of thief-killing contriv-
ance attached to his poultry house. The
coptrivance consisted of an old musket
placed in such position that the slightest
attempt to open the door would result in its
discharge, and was intended for chicken
thieves, who had been depredating
in the neighborhood to an alarm
ing extent of late. Carter was
awakened by his wife last night, and
told that she had beard strange noise
among the fowls. He partially dressed,
and under the impression that the gun had
missed fire, went to the door of the fowl
house. Finding it closed and still hearing
q suspicious cackling inside, he attempted
to open the door, when the gun went off,
the load entering his body, making q
ghastly wound, from which it is feared he
cannot recover.
