A serious accident occurred to Geo.
Williams, tep.yearold son of VIM.
M. Williams, of this village, on
Monday last. He was out on his
fathers farm three miles from town
and was going out TO the timber
with a team to haul wood, and when
he started he put a double barrel
shot gun into the wagon box to take
with him. Before he had driven
out Of the yard he saw n rat and
attempted to pull the gun out of the
wagon box TO shoot it, and in doing
SO the hammer caught and dis
charged one barrel of the gun, load
ed with shot, which took effect in
the inside of his right arm. Not
withstanding the shock and severe
pain the lad drove the team nearly a
mile with his left hand, TO meet his
father and brother, while his right
arm hung lacerated aud bleeding at
his side. His father brought him to
town to a doctor, and it was found
that some Of the muscles were intact
and that the pulse was normal, and
the arm was dressed and good hopes
are entertained Of saving it.

VIM. NJ. Rollins, of Belmont, has
just been pardoned by Governor
Hoard, He was recently found
guilty of killing a man at Sparta,
Wis. Mr.. K happened to be in
Sparta after the killing, was arrested,
tried and convicted. lie applied
for a continuance but the court re-
fused to grant it. His pardon was
procured upon the presentation of
one hundred afiidavits that he was
III Belmont when the crime was
committed. 1t turns out that the
man who really did do the killing is
an exact double of Mr. Rollins who
has been arrested and confessed the
murder, Rollins reached home last
week. If capital punishment main
tanned in this state, it can be easily
seen that ia 2 case like this one man
might be hung for another mans
crime; as it is, one man has been con
victed and sentenced for another's
crime, but the mistake can be some
what corrected.
