Killed bv his Brother.

A horribly sad accident occurred
last Friday afternoon, about two miles
from Manning, in the household OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. W. Mccall. They
and some of their neighbors had
united in picnic near by, and were
all having pleasant time, when Mr..
McCalps son, Dinkius, who is about
ten years old, and had been lett at
home to take care of the place and
younger children, came running up
terribly frightened, and told his moth
er that while he was in the field some
thing terrible had happened in the
house, but he did not know what it
was
The parents hurried home, to find
most horrible sight: their little four
year-old boy, Charley, whom only a
few hours before they had left we'll
and happy, was lying on the floor,
struggling in agony, one side Of his
head torn away, and his finger nails
worn off tearing on the floor. A gun
near by told the sad story. Surgical
aid was procured as soon as possible,
but to no purpose, and in few hours
the little fellow died.
An effort was made to get Dinkins
to tell how the accident happened,
but for some time he would not, say
ing at first that it occurred while, he
was in the field, and then that the
little fellow had shot himself. Finally
by much persuasion from his mother,
and amidst the deepest sobs and grief
on his part, he told them. He had
taken small gun in the house to
play with, and thinking it was not
loaded, had pointed it at his little
brother, telling him he was going to
shoot. Having no caps, he got a box
of matches, and used the heads on
the tube. The little fellow was sit.
ting on the floor, laughing and whit
Ting with a knife, when Dinlsins, but
a few feet away, aimed the fatal shot
at the little fellows head. The trig-
ger was pulled, and one side of his
head was shot away.
An inquest was held Saturday, and
a verdict of accidental death was rem
dered by the coroner's Jury.

A large bug flew into Rev. r. ".
BARRIERS ear one night last week, and
at once began to claw its way into
the oriice, seemingly determined to
sound it to its greatest depth. But
to Mr.. Barber it was eXcruciating ag-
ony, and though he tried his best to
stop the progress Of the bug he could
not do so. He at once poured e lot
of sweet oil into the ear on top the
bug, but to no effect: it would not
come out. The pain was intense, and
Nh. Barber sought the services
of physician, but even the
physician could not find the bug, and
he continued to suffer greatly all
night, but next morning, to Mr.. Bar
ber's great relief, the offending AMI
mai was found and removed. Mrs W.
A. Barfeld also got one Of these bugs
in her ear last Monday, but got it out

to take them to Mount Vernon when he
moved there and failed to return them,
though waited upon by a committee from
the school board. He then promised to
send the records, the next day; but, as
this was not done, it was at last decided
to quicken his memory by letter. The
communication read at the school meet
ing was in answer and was to the effect
that Mr. Adams had decided to retain the
school records, because the town had Civ
en- him such i'll usage. 1t remains to be
seen whether legal steps will be taken to
compel Mr. Adams to restore the records.
At this meeting also, the question of the
introduction of the study of physiology
into the schools was discussed, but no
decision will be made until the October
meeting, when two new men will prob

STRATFORD.

Edward Nj. Sturges of Bridgeport met
, sad death while hunting near Fresh
pond, last week Thursday. With Messrs
| Chamberlain and Bunnell, also of Bridge
port, he was limiting rail and the trio
were, for AN instant, balancing themselves
upon a low rail fence, while watching for
the birds. The combined weight was too
much for the unsound fence and the top
rail broke with a crash. AS the men fell
with it, fragment struck a gun which
had been set against the fence and it was
discharged. Almost the entire load OF
shot entered Mr. Sturges right side. max
ing a ragged wound from which the blood
poured. His horror stricken companions
made all haste to secure aid and James
Heneehan drove post haste for DIR Coggs-
well, while others FASTENED to aid Mr.
Sturges in every possible way. There
was no hope for him and he lived only
about two hours, or until shortly after
3. Hypodermic injections were given to
ease him and he was removed to the
house of Peter Hopkins; but his suffer-
agony. He was fully conscious and gave
directions for his funeral, with messages
for his grief stricken wife and family.
He repeatedly stated that the accident
was entirely unavoidable and that no
blame whatever could be attached to
anyone. Mr. Sturges, who was 50 years
old, leaves wife and two children and
was insured for $4,000 in the New Eng
land Order of Protection. He had been
superintendent of the East End railroad,
but was not, at the time of his death,
