Accidentally Killed. .
A colored boy by the name of
Norris Howard, about 16 . years-of
age, was accidentally killed yester
day afternoon at a shooting match
at Green's mill, oh the old Ne'wbefn
road, near Bellevue Cemetery. It
seems that the hoy, in company
with a number of others, was gath
ering the discharged shells as. they
fell from the breech-lQaders. Mr
William Rivenbark had thrown
open his gun and arranged a f-esh
cartridge in the chamber when in
some .manner the piece was dis
charged and the load took effect in
the neck of Howard, who was at
that moment standing in front of
Mr. Rivenbark, picking up a shell.
Passing through the neck the load
lodged in his brain, and the boy fell
dead. A young white lad. standing
near was also stunned by the dis
charge. Mr. Rivenbark was greatly
distressed at the occurrence and at
once came into the city and surren
dered himself to the authorities.
Coroner Jacobs held an inquest to
day and the jury. rendered a verdict
in accordance with the above facts.
The deceased was a son of Daniel
Howard, for several years jailor
here. - -'
Th e IjB t e M r. Josh vi a James.'
The New Orleans Stales, of last
Sunday's date, contained the fol
fowing editorial reference to the
late Mr. Joshua James,whose death
we have already recorded.. The
States says: -
Yresterday morning the sad tidings
of the death of Joshua James, Esq.,
which occurred at New Carthage,
La., was received here by telegram
to his nepew, Capt. J, Pinckney
Smith. The deceased had just at
tained the ripe .old age of 82 years,
and was the representative of one of
the best known and most highly,
esteemed families in the Missis3ipp"i
Valley.
Mr. James was a native of North
Carolina, and a gentleman by birth
ana education. He-has been a
resident of this State since 1850.
His heme for many years previous
to the late war was one of luxury
and refinement the rallying place
of the beauty, chivalry wand culture
of North Louisiana and Mississippi.
His early life was, indeed, in all
that the term implies, one of ease
and affluence. From hisj "Ion"
plantation, Madison parish, he ship
ped annually to this city over a
thousand bales of cat ton, which in
addition to his income from num
erous other sources, combined to
render him conspicuously a - man-, of
wealth. But 'he was a generous
giver, sympathetic in all his in
stincts, and proverbial, for his muni
ficent hospitality. "
At the commencement of hostili
ties between the sections this typical
Southern gentleman was not found
wanting in his patriotic devotion to
the cause of theSouth. His financial
contributions to -that cause were
not only large and continuous, but
he also gave-to it three noble boys,'
Clarence, William and Lncian, alfof
whom served with honor and dis
tinction throughout- the war and
on many a hotly contested-'field.'
He, himself, figured -prominently in
a scheme for the capture of the gun
boat Rattler, which, in the judgment
of many, if -put. into effect, .would
have' absolutely " exterminated the
Federal fleet on the lower Mississip
pi. The close of the war found Mr!'
James, a physical . and financial
wreck,".' from which he had only
partially recovered at ' the time of
his death. , For the past twenty
years he has livetii practically, r in
retirement at his old homestead in
New .Carthage, where his death
occurr.ed -yesterday. His time had
come, and when that time arrives
the charms of the . world pass put
and the affections: of relatives and
dear friends- will not allure the
fight of" the-spirit as it wings its way
to a promised happier home beyond
the grave. - . . " :;' ..; .- '
