Accidentally shot and KILLED.

Freddie Gildroy, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. VIM. Gildroy, Of Mann's creek,
accidentally shot and killed himself at
about IL o'clock on Tuesday last,
while out duck hunting. From Mr..
+. A. Lund, who went to the unfortu-
nate young mans assistance, we learn
that he evidently had jumped down
bank and had reached back to pull
the gun after him, muzzle first, when
tho hammer was caught in the brush
or grass, discharging the full load of
shot into Freddie's right breast, just
below the collar bone. The little
brother who was in his company at
the time, called Mr.. Lund to come,
that Freddie was shot. Mr.. Lund
says that he heard the report of the
gun and the boys hallooing, but
thought nothing OF it until the little
fellow came nearer and informed him
as stated above. Mr.. Lund went i'm.
mediately to the spot, and found that
tho poor fellow had staggered of
about thirty yards from whore he was
shot, and was dying; he never spoke
after Mr.. Lund came to his side, bu
seemed to recognize him, Freddie
Gildroy was about seventeen years o
age, the pride of his family, and wa
highly respected by all who knew
him as quiet, bright and honorable
boy. The family have the heartfelt
sympathy of all the people in thei
sad bereavement. The funeral servi
ces were held yesterday at the Jeffrey
school house, and the remains of tn
unfortunate young man were laid t
rest at the cemetery about four mile
above this town.

Phrenology, more than any other
science, is scorcd at scorned. and, in
fact, feared by many. What are the
reasons OF this? Simply the ignorance
of man. Almost any person with one
spark o. intellect alb out him knows
that the brain is the great ruling power
OF man as well IA beast IL guides
him through social life, commercial
circles, reli zion, DC. Are all OF these
different intellectual branches mixed
up into one general mass, or is each
one located in different portion OF the
brain? The latter i the most plausible
OF the two, for We're the former in any
way true why should one man excel in
scientific pursuits 50 much more than
another, who Is leader in commercial
circles? Phrenologists base their en-
tire system AMI science on the latter,
and by careful study and watchfulness
they have obtained, year after year. a
thorough knowledge OF the position Of
each particular intellectual section.
Many people have an idea that an eX-
animation OF ones head, phrcnological-
~ speaking, is fOrmc by the means Of
bumps; but they are sad Y mistaken, as
it is Simply a measurement OF the
brain. BY the theory OF one, Gall, the
bones OF the head are shaped like the
sections OF brain covered by them; con-
sequently large part OF the Uranium
shows imme lately that tho section of
brain covered must also be OF large
size. the posscsso' Of which contains a
goo share of the intellect indicated, a
small one being VIC versa. In the
ideas OF tho writer every young man

Tough Eishs With Catamounts.

An Edray, Pocahontas County, w.
Va, dispatch says: A story comes
from Black Mountain, near this place,
OF terrific battle between three farm
err buys and two big catamounts which
Is worth telling. On last Wednesday
Charley and Tom Finn, aged respec-
lively forteen and sixteen years, ac-
companied by another boy named Ned
Phillips, about seventeen years old,
were crossing Black Mountain on
their way TO the Phillips farm, about
six miles distant. when, in the densest
part of the mountain, they suddenly
came across two full-grown catamounts,
feeding upon a sheep they had just
killed. Two OF the boys were arm d
with hoe and a common farm ing
rake, while the third had nothing.
They were brave boys, however, ana
determined To drive of the brutes,
really expecting little or no resistance.
but in this they were badly deceived, as
when they approached, the immense
cats, with bristiing hair and glistening
fangs, began 70 growl and snarl in
vicious manner.
Perceving that they were in for
fight, and had no way out OF it, the
third lad quickly cut himself stout
hickory club, when all three approach
ed the animals The CatamountS did
not wait an attack, but boldly advanc-
ed upon the boys The large ono
sprang at Phillips, who struck it with
the blade of the hoe as he spr ing
aside, and as the cat landed on its feet
it received another severe blow on the
back OF the neck from Lhe hickory
club In the hands of the younger Finn
hoy. Meanwhile the elder Finn
boy had his hands full, as tho other
catamount had made for him. His
spring would have carried him square

jumped 10 one side, receiving terri

several bad scratches on the cheek rs

vice, the lad succeeding in sinking the
iron teeth deeply into the catamounts
back "a it LANDED.
The fight begun in this manner lasted
fully five minutes, and ended in the
dogs killing both animals. When the
fight was over il was found that young
Fllnn's clothes were torn into ribbons,
while he had received a serious bite on
the right leg and several painful
scratches on his arms. Tom was by
far the worst hurt Of the three boys,
having received number of severe
scratches on his right shoulder and
face, two severe bites through the hand
and arm, and Il badly torn leg. Young
Phillips was torn across the back
pretty severely, and would have prob
ably been killed had no, the force OF the
cats blows knocked him down, causing
the brute TO fall clear of him, when It
WIS dispatched with the club in the
other boys hands. After an hours
rest, and tying up their wounds rs best
they could. the boys returned to the
Finn farm, dragging their game after
them. The cats weighed forty-four
and forty-one pounds respectively, and
are declared to be monsters Of their
