Unfortunate Occurrence couple
Of our young men got into a row, on
Wednesday evening last, in this city,
in which fists and pistols were used,
one of the young men beng shot IN
the arm, bat not dangerously hurt.
The worst part of the story is that The
trouble occurred in front of one OF our
churches, just as the congregation was
being dismissed, and in the melee an
old lady was shot in the shoulder
slightly. 1t IS quite bad enough that
young men should carry arms on
ordinary occasions, but it is quite too
bad that they should so far disregard
all law, human and divine, as to enter
the house of prayer with pistols IN
their pockets. Such conduct is almost
lne%xcusabie. The parties to this dis
graceful affair will be examined before
the law officers, and we therefore
refrain from any statement of the
trouble, and for the present withhold
names.
Accidentally Shot.-As Mr.. Nj. E.
Summers, of this city, and Capt.
Kelly were fooling with an old pistol,
supposed to be empty, Sunday evening
last, one barrel was exploded while in
the hand Of Kelly, the contents hitting
Summers on (and passing through the
bip. The wound Is a severe one, but
vii not endanger life.
Our Postofice.-Both H. Turner and
Geo. w. Mexican have returned from
Washington, whittier they hadvgOne to
see Gen. Grant inaugurated.
