SHOT WITH AN AIR GUN.
A Lad Wounds His Little Sistar ThroaGh
No Fault Of His Own,

f. NO EAuIE OF HIS own.
LANCASTER, June %. George Young,
aged about IL years, a son of Thomas
Young, OF Columbia, was engaged in shoot.
ing small cartridges at target, erected in
the yard Of his home, with an air gun to-
day. Just as the boy pulled the trigger,
Martha Young, q sister OF about three years
OF age, ran between the boy and the target,
and theg gun going off, sher rec ived the bullet
in her right breast. The child was not per-
ceived by the boy as he shot, and the acci-
dent created much CONSERVATION among
the family, as it was thought the child was
seriously wounded.
An examination was made of the wound,
which was bleeding considerably, and the
physician at first thought the bullet had
entered the flesh. He had intended to
probe for the bullet, but after iurther ex.
animation found that it had gone through
an apron, dress and a heavy woolen bodice,
and then made dent in an under garment.
This part of the clothing had been pushed
into the flesh, which had caused the wound.
The physician regards this As very re-
markable instance, and the heavy bodice
was the only thing that prevented serious
injuries.
