The wound is very severe and will almost certainly, we learn, prove fatal. Mr. La i son was out with a party of la dies and gentlemen on a fishing excur sion on Little river. lie had his gun with him aud in walking across a had place on a log used it to support himself, holding the muzzle in his hand and resting the Btock on the ground. As hi drew the gun up the hammer struck against the log and fired it off. The charge passed up his forearm, tearing it to pieces Gum the wrist to the elbow. It then entered bis chest, penetrating the lung on the right side producing a frightful wound, large enough for the passagageof three fingers. His sufferings alter the accident are re ported ns fearful. His physicians state that there is scarcely a hope of recovery. A Turn Oveu, a Roll Over and a Su.isu in tue Night.—On last Wednes day night as the editor of this paper, who physics as well as edits for this commu liity, was driving quietly along through the rain and thick darkness on the Greens boro road, about aiy miles from this place, Ilia luggy was upset. The editor, whose feet) were comfortably fixed beneath the apron, made a spring to get out, which was more like the jump of a frog than like the graceful leap of the highly cultivated acrobat, and alighted on all fours in the mud. With much alertness aud wonderful alacrity lie got out of the way ot that buggy alter the manner ot the four footed members of creation, il lustrating thereby Darwin's theory, and showing how easily a man. especially an editor, may resume the habits, atti tudes and actions ot his supposed pro genitors. lie arose to his feet disheveled, in time to see his faithful steed plunge headlong down a bluff some eight or ten teat high. Horse and buggy went rolling and tumbling to the bottom, and our ed itor thought the horse was killed and the buggy smashed into a thousand trag incuts. Through almost miraculous good luck the horse was not hurt and the bug scarcely injured at all and thcro was not a break in the harness. We can account for the escape ot the buggy and liame s only upon the ground of the excellence of the material and the splendid workman ship with which they were constructed. Mr. W. O. Bolder, Sr., put up this buggy at his establishment in this place, and if all his work is as good as it is, it is groat fully to send away from here to get ve hicles. Careless Pistolling. —On last Sat urday afternoon a party of ladies walk ing in the cemetery and visiting and decking with spring flowers the graves of their dear ones, were startled by the re port of a pistol and tlic whistling of a bullet very near them. The ball passed very near the bead of a lady of the party, missing her only a few inches. They did not know who fired the shot and had no means ot ascertaining. It was evidently fired by some careless person, and no one supposes that injury to any one was in tended. But such carelessness is crimi nal and should not be excused, and the party guilty should suffer a severe pun ishment. The carrying ol pistols is condemned by all orderly and proper minded persons, and this careless firing iu a public place like the cemetery is with out excuse. There is scarcely an hour du ring the day that someone is not strolling quietly through the grounds or is sitting or working about the graves of friends. Oftentimes a number of people, singly or in groups, are thu* engaged. The slirul bery conceals them from the view of others (»!y a few paces distant. It is easy to see then how a pistol fired by some careless boy, who might think himself the only human being within the grounds, might send into eternity the soul of some wo man over the grave of a friend or relative, or some visitor quietly strolling throug h the walks. We hope these remarks may be the means of deterring 'others from indulging in this dangerous or foolish pastime. A lifetime of as many years as the old est patriarch of the olden times lived would not be long enough to give vent to all the rernorsr that a se.'.sitiv. soul would suffer for destroying the life ot an in nocent and unoffending fe l low being through any such carelessr .as.

Wc visited it on Easter day, last Sunday, and it seemed as though the place had burst forth in magnificent bloom to celebrate the anniversary of the resur rection of our blessed Savior. The en t:re grounds seemed one mass of pure and beautiful white mingling in with the bright green of the pines, the cedars, the evergreens and the vines. The spireas are finer than we have ever seen, and all were in lull bloom. A large variety adorn the place and all were just at the bight and fullness of their bloom and beauty. Some of the bushes looked like fountains of pure white snow, otlicis sent up long branches which, with graceful curves filled with flowers, floated and waved through the balmy spring uir with a gen tle motion as though they swung and swayed to the music of unseen and, to mortal ear, unheard choirs. Others again looked like misty clouds of snow. All were beautiful and it was im possible to say which variety was more beautiful than anothei. There were only two colors in all the cemetery, pure white and deep green. We have sceu cemeteries where wealth and art had placed handsome tablets at the heads of graves, aud had raised costly stones over the dead, and had built large vaults for the repose of the departed, and had erected magnificent sculptured monuments whereon the artist had ex hausted his genius iu giving grace and beauty to the marble erected in honor and to the memory of the great and the good, but wo have seldom seen a spot made so beautiful by the loving hands of those who are too poor to raise costly columns of marble to the memory ol' their dead. The beauties of nature which these loving hands have collected and cherished and cultivated aroutuj the graves are far more beautiful aud pleasing than all the monu ments built by money. Wc are rejoiced to note the care and at tention bestowed by our citizens upon the place where their friends repose, and the beautiful appearance of the cemetery at present is the result of this cure and at tention If tho authorities ot the town will continue to keep the grounds proper ly (inchwed under good, substantial fencing and take pains to prevent depredations upon the flowers and shrub bery, and will punish with tho greatest seventy alt parties found committing any trespass w hatsoever, we will, in a few year-, have *lic lovliest village cemetery in the State. Not made lovely by mus ses of cold marble and hard stone, hut by the pure and graceful flowers and plants which will be made to grow and bud and blossom over the last resting place of our former citizens.

A committee of two citizens, in no way connected with the management, and ol undoubted integrity, having first counted and examined, will place in the larger wheel 12,600 Tickets, exactly alike, and having printed numbers from one to 12,600, corresponding to nil the tiekets sold. A similar com mittee, having first counted and examined, will place in tubes precisely alike the prizes, which are placed in the smaller wheel. Both wheels will then be turned until their contents are thoroughly mixed. A boy under fifteen years, blindfolded, will then draw from the larger wheel one of the 12,600 tickets, and holding it up in full view of the spectators and auditors, its number will be called by the crier ap pointed for this purpose, so that all present may hear. The number will then be passed to the committee of citizens, who will say whether the number litis been rightly called. It will then be passed to a register who will file it, and record it upon a book prepared for this purpose. A boy of similar age will then draw from the smaller Wheel one of the tubes containing a prize, which will be opened aud held up to the view of the spectators and auditors. The value ot the Real Estate prize will then be cried, and passed to the committee, who, after inspection, will give it to another register to file and record. The prize thus drawn will belong to the ticket bearing the number drawn immediately betore it. Tlius this process will continue drawing first from the large wheel containing the tickets, and then from the small o: prize wheel, until all the tubes containing the prizes are drawn. An accurate record of the above will be kept on file, certified to by the committee of disinterested citi zens officiating. The prizes below Three Hundred Dollars in value are Approximations, nnd will be determined and paid as follows: The number of all the tiekets sold living considered in a circle, numerically formed, and having the highest number 12 600, nnd the lowest, 1, brought together, then whatever number in this circle may be by lot de termined to he entitled to the Capital Prize of *25,000 will be taken as centre, on each side of which the next Three Hundred numbers in numerical order will be counted for the ten dollar prizes, thus making on the two sides of the capital the Six Hundred nearest numbers, each of which will be entitled to a real estate prize of Ten Dollars. All the tickets drawing larger prizes will be excluded, and tie circle ex tended to include Six Hundred botli sides of the Capital, being Three Hundred on each side, it being the purpose of the management not to duplicate prizes.
