 The following from the Wheatly cor
 respondent of the Brinkley Argus, is ! so sensible and contains so much truth
 in small space, that we desire onr
 readers to see it and think on it. "No
 man has any use for pistol-except to l kill himself and that's how the little
 coward who "toats' one should use it.
 and the only way he should doit. The
 man who carries pistol acknowledges | the fact that he wants an advantage in
 a difficulty, and only towards fight at an advantage only. It is cowardice to l fight. but it is superlative of corwar.
 dice to fight only when odds are ill 1 your favor. AgaIn, the man who car | ries pistol or other deadly weapon l demonstrates the fact chat he is look ing for difficulty in which he will be the aggressor, for pistols are no pro-
 lection in an unlooked-for attack, and
 if a man be truly brave, he will avoid, l as far as possible, any foreseen distur-
 bance. Again, no man lives that is l not in some way connected with wo- l mankind. He is either father, son or | brother of some woman, and the man
 who murders or harms his fellowman. l wrings sorrow and distress from the heart of one, the most sacred ward of every brave, chivalrOus soul, and none but a pusillanimous coward would
 cause an innocent, unoffending woman anguish and grief. Men, boys, listen 1 If you are not 3 thug and coward, throw away your little popgun. It is
 a wonder it don't go off in your hip
 pocket and blow your brains out"
 1 X very sad accident happened to Mrs. 1 N. w. Norton Sunday morning. All homes, perhaps, have hooks, corners l and closets into which little bundles, | packages, and various articles not in l present need, are stored away. An ad- ] dition to the house was being erected, I requ iring the removal of every thing l from that side of the house. AS is usual under such circumstances tue household effects were somewhat I disarranged, and it was during the | early morning cleaning up" that Mrs. Norton was re-arranging and 1 straightening up one of her closets when she found several packages the
 the contents of which were unknown 1 to her, and wona anlike she proceeded
 to burn them. MT. Norton being at
 home and seeing the packages thrown
 into the open fireplace remarked that
 there might be explosives among them
 and advised Mrs. Norton to that effect
 when she stopped to take out pacaage
 which she had just dropped into tho
 fire place. Just as she secured 1t in
 her hands there was terrible expIo-
 sion. Her clothing took fire and it
 was miracle that she was not burned | to death, as the flames were very stub
 born. Her clothing was extinguished
 however, and it was found that her face and hands were horribly burned
 especially her hands. 1t was thought l for time that she would lose her sight
 but the physicians now think that tiia vision is not injured except perhaps
 temporarily. She suffered the most | terrible agonies for some little time | until she was thoroughly under the | influence of opiates. She is now rest | ing easily aud bears the pain and sui fering in her usual patient and resigned
 manner THE TIMES deeply deplores | her sad misfortune and hopes she may
 not be permanently injured. The pack age is supposed to have contained gun ! powder.
