bursted in abont twenty pieces, tearing the
ends off of two fingers on his left hand and
sprinkling his face pretty badly with powder.
Mr.. NJ. hearu the report of the gun and heard
him hollering, and went to his rescue. He
was taken to the house, is wounus 5ro ed,
and his father, who resided about eighty rods
distant, was sent for, when the boy was taken

Peculiar Case of Love.

At Findley, Pa, three school boys
about 10 years OF age, becoming des-
perately enamored of three girl school
mates, were forbidden by the parents
of the latter to call on them, and the
girls cautioned not to meet the bows
clandestinely. Whereupon the love.
sick youths, confiding to each other
their mutual woes, resolved to end
their agonies and pierce the hearts of
the cruel parents by committing sui
eide. After fixing an hour at which
each was to perform his part in the
contemplated tragedy, the infatuated
youths separated and proceeded to
provide themselves with the means of
self destruction. One of them, Paul
Ewing, son of DR.. M. j. Ewing, at
the designated hour took 40 grains of
morphine, which soon put him beyond
"the pangs of despised love-" The two
other boys broke down before the
dual act and still live, perhaps to love
again.
