A Terrible Accident.

Wednesday. ut exactly noon, In this city,
through the accidental discharge of a I5rcalabre
revolver. Miss Lottie DEM WIS seriously and
dangerously wounded. Her father Samuel
DEM, ex-marshal OF this city, WAS preparing to
move his family to Comanchs county, and Miss
Lottie was up stairs with him packing the
household goods. lie picked up loaded re-
volver inIa scabbard and rcmarking thar il must
not be forgotten, started across the room with
il. when Il fell TO the floor, and hitting on the
hammer WIS discharged and the ball crually
crushed through the body of Miss LOttie in a
most friyhtful manner. 1t entered the inner
portion OF tho left thigh, ranging upward and
outward aud leaving the body near the top of
the thigh bone; and still not through with its
cruel mission, il ploughed its way through tbs
left forearm which was hanging AT her side
commencing midway between the elbow and
hand and lodging two and one-half inches above
the elbow under the large muscles. The terri
bic shock nearly caused the lady 10 faint, but
she had presence OF mind enough to tell her ia
ther to go for physician, saying she was not
badly hurt. He ran up town and notified DIR.
Kessler and in an incredible short space of
time the physician was by the side of the young
lady; and DIR. Rigg,a near neighbor, and sever
nj ladies were also present. She was made as
com 1ortRble ~ possible and u hasty examina-
ton made OF the wound. when it was discov-
cred that the wound was not necessarily fatal,
though extremely painful.
Later In the afternoon, DIR. Kessler and DIR.
Moore found the location n the ball, which had
lodged in the muscles of the arm: but decided
net To remove IL at present, the patient being
too much Frustrated from the shock to admit
Of the operation.
She was moved to the home of Mrs. Geppert
where she il now doing rs wellsas could lie ex-
pected, having every attention that devoted
friends and surgeons can render.
This was a sad accident. Miss DEM is one
of the most accomplished and interesting
young ladies in the city, and was the main help
Of her widowed father and his motherlcss chill
drcn, Mrs. Dem having died last April She is
popular among all classes, as gentle and lovabe
rs mortal can be, and IL does seem cruel that
the fates should inflict such an accident on her
1t was one OF those accidents that could hard
~ have been avcrted, though It might have
been much worse. Her many friends hope for
her speedy recovery.

A CURE FOR DRUNKENNESS There is
a prescription i'll use in England for the
cu1e Of drunkenness, by which thousands
are said to have been enabled to recover
themselves. The recipe came into notoriety
by the efforts of Mr. John Vine Hall, com
mander Of the Great Eastern steamship.
He had fallen into such habitual drunken
ness that his most earnest efforts to reclaim
himself proved unavailing; at last he sought
the advice of an eminent physician, which
he followed faithful y for several months
and at the end Of that time he had lest all
desire for liquor, although he had been for
many years led captive by most deba ing
appetite. The recipe, which he afterwards
pu lisiied, and by which SO many dunk
ards have been assisted to reform, is given
here as appropriate to the approaching sea
