Accidental Shooting.
Last Saturday evening, about G
o'clock, as we were returning from a
hunt after pigeons, in company with
Will Smearbaugh, and just as we had
got about halfway between the school
house aud J. II. Wentworth's farm on
the Tylersburg road, two miles from
town, Ae beard a very loud report of
a gun followed by tremendous yells of
murder I help I etc., down in the
hollow toward Mr. Reese's place. We
turned our horso and drove down the
Wilderness road in the direction of the
noise As we neared the place we met
a couple of boys coming up the road,
who told us that Martin Salsgiver had
accidently shot and kiiled his little
brothpr Andy, about 13 years of age,
and that the boy had been taken down
to Reese's house. Proceeding, we went
to the houso and upon opening the
door we beheld the little fellow lying
on the floor, the blood and brains
oozing out of his head until it had
formed a large pool, and yet the boy
was still living. After a few hurried
inquiries as to the cause of the acci
dent we hastened totowniud informed
Dr. Coburn, whom we met at the Law
rence House. It seems the youig
man, Martin, bis brother Mike, one of
Mr. Wentworth's boys and the unfor
tunate little boy had been out to shoot
pigeons as they were flying into the
roost, and while returning home con
cluded to shoot off their guns. Yeung
Weutworth pulled up his gun to shoot ;
Martin was standing near with his gun
lying on his left arm, while the little
boy was standing behind him. When
Wentworth's gun went off Martin says
his also was discharged striking the
boy a glancing shot on the right side
of the head, about the top of the ear,
knocking a piece of the skull out aud
leaving a hole about two inches long
and one inch wide.
Strange to say the boy is still living
at this writing, Tuesday evening, but
the doctor has no hopes of liis recov
ery. Although unconscious he seems
to realize pain, as, when the doctor
was feeling about his bead he wanted
to know who was pulling his hair. He
has also atked for water on one or two
occasions ; otherwise he does not speak
or recognize any one. His brother
can give no account of how bis gun
was discharged, but the theory is that
ho had his thumb on the hammer and
intended shooting off his gun about
the tame time his companion's was
discharged. The doctor thinks that
some of tho shot may have lodged in
the base of the skull.

The first number of W. R.
Dunn's new paper has, reached us. It
is published at a thriving town called
Crookston, in Polk Co., Minn., and is
a large eight-column sheet, gotten up
in handsome style. It is called the
Orookdon Cronicle; starts out with a
very good advertising patronage, and
bids fair to become one of the solid
institutions of that town. Mr. Dunn's
raauy friend in this county will be
glad to learn that he has again em
barked in tho printing busiuess under
such favorable auspices, and will wish
him abundance of prosperity. As for
us, we can most cheerfully and hearti
ly recommend him to the good citi
zens of Crookston as a man most worthy
of their patronage and good graces,
one whom they can safely tie to, and
the people of that place are to be con
gratulated upon their acquisition of
such an excellent citizen to their town.
Will., may prosperity and happiness
abide with you aud your house whilo
life shall last.

The following from the Brookville

The roof of Mrs. Jam's houso
caught fire from a spark on Monday,
and but for tho timely arrival of the

the last year.
Pigeons are scattered about pro
miscuously, and as yet have no regular

nets ready.
It will be gratifying to our lum
bermen to know that the price of
lumber is steadily anvancing, and by
spring will doubtless be from three to
five dollars higher per thousand than
last spring. Just now it would be a
gratification to know that we were
going to have a rafting flood before
winter sets in.

Although an elector's name does
not appeal upon the registry list,
having been omitted either purposely
or by mistake, he can still vote provi
ded he has paid a state and county
tax within two years from the time he

years of twenty-one and twenty-two
without having paid tax, provided he
cau prove by a qualified voter that he
has been a citizen in the district in
which he offers to vote for sixty days
prior to the election. Blank aflidavit.,

Reid Institute, situated at Reid3
burg, Clarion County, wa3 destroyad
by fire on the ICth inst. Incendiaries
have made several attempts to burn
the buildings heretofore, but their
efforts had always proved futile ontil
this last attempt. It is hard to imag
ine what motive could induce a person
to perpetrate such a dastardly act. The
sshool was in a very flourishing con
dition, and the town will severely feel
its loss.
Our citizens were somewhat
surprised to see a raft going down the
river last Thursday, the water beiDg
probably a foot or eighteen inches
lower than it was ever known to be
before. The "fleet" covered consider
able ground or water, rather but
was not raftod deep, and was drawn
over the Bhallow placeB byt a horse.
Tue occurrence inspired a faint hope
in the breasts of some of our lumber
men, and they went immediately to
work to fix up their raft shanties.
An unusually beautiful engraving
has been issued by "Peterson's Maga
zine" for 1880, to reward persons for
getting up clubs. The plate is quite
large, 24 inches by 20, and would or
nament even the most refined parlor;
for it is executed in tho highest siyle
of art; and is such a mezzotint as is
sold, at retail, for five dollars. The
subject is "Washington at Prayer at
Valley Forge" commemorating one
of the roost touching incidents of the
War of Independence. This patriotic
and beautiful mezzotint ought to be in
every house in America. It is, we
think, the finest that "Peterson" has
ever issued, and that is saying a great
deal. You can get it, gratis, by
getting up a club for "Peterson."

Library of Universal Knowledge.
Volume two of this very excellent,
and from an economical point of view,
extraordinary work, is issued October
25th. Its 736 neatly printed and well
bound pages coutain a wealth of
knowledge, covered by tho alphabet
between the words Arundel and Biron,
such as, it is safe to say, was never
before procurable for the trifling num
of 50 cents ! The 20 vols, complete,
containirg over 40,000 distinct arti
cles, and nearly as many more inci
dentally mentioned subjects, with
complete index, are sufficient of them
selves to afford a liberal education to
any one of limited resources. As a
matter of course, they are findiug their
way into the hands of hundreds of
thousands of those whose love ot
knowledge has exceeded their power
to buy it at the great prices charged
for Cyclopedias heretofore published
in this country, none of which equal
this in the amount of matter given.
Volume three will be ready early in
November, and the remaiuing volumus
will appear about two each month
thereafter. The publishers will send
a specimen volume, which may be
returned if not wanted, to any part of
the United States, for the price, in
clotb, 50 cents, half morocco, 75 cents,
or on extra fine heavy paper, wide
margins, bound in half Russia, gilt
