Accident. —Thursday eveuing, Sam McNair
(em’d,) in descending a ladder, struck his coat-tail
against it. An explosion, as loud as it was unex
pected, instantly f< llowed. The deputy Cotoner
and three doctors rushed to his assistance, spread
him out, face downwards, on the ground, and gazed
in speechless agony at the scene <.f the disaster.
Samuel, though weak from loss of strength, was able
to exclaim. “Oh, I could to you a tail unfoH !”
The seat of Sam’s breeches was a right to behold.
There was a bullet-hole in one ch- *k hi and a rat-hale
iu the oilier, while the gay and festive Epizoot
meaudered around. Further examination disclosed
an ugly wound, resembling a mashed ton ato, and
ranging upwards. This has been skillful I y probed
with a broomstick, but the bullet hasn’t yet come
down. At last accounts Sam was able to walk,
Very bench-leggid, and sets down tl-e other waj.
Every body is asking that same old question, Why
is Sam like a locomotive ?
