Gerard Anthoine called his little boy, aged six, to him, and said: "Little one, you have often wished to play with this pistol," showing the child an old pistil. "O, yes, papa." "Well, we will play with it now," and loading the weapon, tho father handed it to the boy. "Now, look," he said, "I will get down on my knees before you; you will point at me right between the eyes and pull the trigger; you'll see how funny it is!" and he knelt down. "Aim well, in the head, between tho eyes," he said again; "but first embrace me." The poor child embniced his lather, and then pointed the pistol as told, and fired. Gemrd fell back dead, and tho boy see? ing the terrible result, ran out of the room sobbing. While Postmaster-General Jewell is going the rounds he might slip down to Texas, where it is said there is a mail route contract for a semi-weekly service, but is only performed monthly by a boy on a mustang pony at $400 per annum, the Contractors receiving the tritle of $80.000. A terrific hail storm passed over the lower portion of Union County, a few days ago. Corn and cotton were greatly injured, and in some instances cabins wero destroyed. Maybinton, in New berry County, and vicinity, also had a visit of a similar nature, with like ro sults. 1,400 steerage passengers leaving New York in one day to return to Europe is, says the New York Herald, an event of no small significance. The signifi? cance of the event finds emphasis in the estimate, that the immigration, arrivals this year in New York will be 50,000 less than they were in 1874. Next to tho "ohromo"of an intoxicated man fondly steadying a gas lamp-post, wo don't know of a more heartrending ob? ject than that of a lean canine reaching for a business-like flea on the extreme Southern portion of his tail. Coroner Beiden, of Lancaster, hold an inquest a few days ago over the body of a colored woman, who dropped dead while working in the field. The Doctor called it "heart disease;" the negroeH called it "tricked." There is now living in Northampton County, N. C, a well known lady, who can number nearly 100 living children and grand-children. She has lived to behold the fourth generation of her off? spring. The lightning struck in the open cot? ton field of Mr. B. I. Lathen, one mile from Lancaster, last Saturday morning. It crisped, as with fire, about sixty feet of a circle. A New York papt r says that a trip to Europe has become so cheap us to be plebian, and people of superior clay art; beginning to hesitate about the propriety of going tliere. Alfred Walker, (.colored,) who mur? dered Rev. J. ('. Miller, near Union C. IL, several months ago. after a fair trial, has been found guilty, j A colored man, named James Hud gins, while attempting to cross from the main land to Sullivan's Island, in a boat, was drowned, a few days ago. Gen. J. B. Kershaw has accepted the position of orator at the centennial of the battle of Fort Moultrie, June 28, ! 1870. A colored man in Lancaster was bitten recently by a rattlesnak", when his arm swelled and he soon became delirious. A pint of whiskey restored him. A skillful mother and a number of marriageable daughters is now termed a School of design. Don't be meddlesome, if you'd avoid trouble. Without friends, this world is truby a wilderness. Notice.
