Paris Post: One of the most dis.
tressing fatalities we have ever been
called upon to chronicle, occurred
at Dingle on Monday, in the family
of F. NJ. Dayton. MIR. Dayton. is
on q mission to the States, and at
the time of the accident his wife,
Isabelle. was at Montpelier, doing
some trading. George, the eldest
boy, possibly eighteen years of age,
was in the kitchen, and took down
a revolver with a view to getting it
ready to 60 duck hunting, not hav-
ing a shotgun. He had used the
gun some time before, and he was
under the impression he had taken
all the cartridges out of it. He
held the gun up towards the ceiling
of the kitchen, however, to be sure,
when to his amazement it dis
charged, the bullet going through
the roof. His twelve-year-old broth
er, Joseph, and smaller member
of the family, were in the room, and
he told them to keep back while be
looked to see if there were any more
charges. He pointed the gun to
the floor and snapped it. at the
same moment his brother Joseph
ran around in front of him, receiv-
ing the bullet in his stomach pass
ing out at his back. He fell to the
floor saying: 20, George, you've
shot me-" Nearly all the men were
in the hay fields, but fortunately
Eli Bennett was home, and he dis
patched George to Montpelier to
convey the awful news to his moth
Or. The poor boy fingered for "a
hours, suffering untold agony, when
ae kissed all in the room goodbye,
md passed away to his final rest.
