Narrow Escape.

We clip the following account OF an acci-
dental shooting, which took place near Wal
dorf on Monday, from the Baltimore Daily
Newy of 3lSt inst The article of the Asws
was the first information We had upon the
SUBJECT:
DIR G. Ovclton Monroe, prominent Young
physician residing near Waldorf, in Charles
county, Maryland, WAS struck by ii rife ball
yesterday afternoon, aud narrowly escaped be-
ing killed The doctor resides about Il quarter
of IL mile from Waldorf station, where several
inexperienced marksmen have recently purch-
ased long range rifles, which, according TO re-
ports, they ut pleasure in shooting al the
ur,rk or anything else within their range. AT
The time of the accident DR.. Monroe WAS in his
granary with one Of his farm hands attending
to some work when he was gu ilenly struck in
the breast by the ball and .eli to the floor For
tunate for him. be was standing with his side
in the direction from which The ball came, hav-
ing just turned to speak 10 some of his hands
when the ball struck him in the left breast,
passed through his coat, vest and undercoth-
ing and cutting through the skin, striking his
breast-bone and glancing off, inHicliug pain
full, but not serious wound. Only a week ago
the doctor was on his way to visit some
patients, and when near the crossing of the
Baltimore and Potomac railroad, ball passed
very near his head and struck a tree on the
opposite side of him. This ball, he says. Was
fred from IL rifle in the hands of one Of these
gentlemen, at Waldorf station, who was firing
at a target down the railroad, some two or
three hundred yards from where il struck. lie
says he has frequently cautioned them OF the
danger of shooting with these long ranged
rifles, as the different roads pass through thick
forests and it is impossible to see anyone pass
inc. even within a short distance from where
the shot is fred, and in case the ball does not
strike the target it is impossible 10 tell whom
it may strike. He says he thinks he knows
the party who fired the ball that struck him, MS
h. saw him pass mp the road only short while
before OF course the shot was not intentional,
but the law is severe on such reckless shooting
ana steps will be taken AT once 10 break up
this dangerous sport and 10 bring the party in
the present instance TO Justice
