A lady living just outside the village
limits was about to go into the chamber
the other morning TO do her work when
she thought she would sit down for a
moment end rest. In two OF three min
utes she heard gun fired some distance
from the house aud almost Immediately
she felt the house jar and heard a noise
overhead that sounded very much like
icicles falling against the window. Pref
ty soon she went into the chamber to do
her work. She found pieces of glass up
on the floor and at once entered upon an
investigation. She found that a rifle
ball had entered the upper half of the
window, boring neat hole in tie glass
and passed through Stat curtain and Il
lace curtain, crossed the chamber and
enltfcu the Will opporitS htV MihNe" a.
bout a foot below the ceiling over the
bed, rebounded and passed out of the
lower half of the window, leaving neat
hole behind, and disappeared. The ques-
tion naturally arose, who fired the rifle?
Farther investigation revealed the fact,
that at a neighboring house two young
men were firing at mark. The ball
missed the mark, struck an apple tree
just hey ond, glanced nearly at right am
Civ and travelled almost forty rods and
perambulated through the chamber as
above described. Had the lady gone in
to the chamber as she at first intended
to do more than likely the ball would
have punched hole through her. The
obvious lesson is, that one should rest r.
while before going up stairs TO make the
beds. Another lesson is that when boys
shoot at marks they should see that there
are no obstacles in range of their bullets
nearer than the southeast corner of the
new moon.
