by (he' accidental diaehargeof percHHeion

hand of those whoa experience would
seem to be a sufficient gflurunteo of their

A word of counsel, properly heeded,
wl!l est eff the most prolifie souroe of
these disasters, and it is this: Never car-

To illustrate this, take a few instances
of death and injury, sonic of recent date,
iu and near this city.
A youth, who was hunting in the vi
cinity, -wii-hed to obtain some berries
which htinjr over hid head out of Ireach. j
Taking his gun by tlie muzzle, he placed
the hammer (then down npon the cap)
over the bough, lining it fto a hook to draw
the fruit toward hiin. As ho drew it
down, the resistance of the bough slightly
raised the liaminer from the cap; the
lxn-;h alijtjKi'J fivin itsIiuM.and the voiing
man received the whole charge in his h

result.

his hand, and, in it descent, both ham
