Pulls n Tooth With q Gun.

New YORK, April S.-Walter Smith
of Bloomville had been suffering from
toothache. In vain he tried to extract
the molar with pincers and string.
Then his anger rose, and when his wife
taunted him with not having n particle
of sand, he resolved upon desperate
measures.
Procuring yard of stove pipe wire,
he fastened one end of it firmly around
the deeply rooted tooth in such man
ner that it could not pull loose, and the
other end he wound around rar:rod.
Taking down his shotgun he placed
an extra charge of powder in the bar
rel, rammed the rod home, and stepping
to the door, he cooked his gun, opened
his mouth and fired skyward.
There was aloud explosion and tooth
and ramrod sailed away skyward.
Smith has not since been troubled with
tOOthache.
