on the Mohawk, about ~ miles above this
city. He was out shooting birds, with a
double barreled shotgun, yesterday about 4
O'Clock in the afternoon. He discharged
one barrel at some game and set the gun
on the ground. While arranging some
thing about the piece, he has not very
distinct remembrance of just what it was.
the other barrel discharged striking him
in the breast. The shot struck him near
the lower end Of the sternum and plowed
along through the muscles of the chest
across over the heart and lodged in the
muscles in front of the left shoulder.
Luckily not a shot penetrated the cavity of
the chest. The charge of shot, the two
gun wads and considerable powder was
extracted from the muscles and the wound
dressed. Mr. Nsylor will require careful
nursing for some time, but he is exceeding
ly fortunate not to have been more serious

and return, with a 36-hours' layoyer at
