Two Pelone youths, about the nge of eighteen, were concerned in rather a ludicrous gun accident which might finite easily have had serious consequences. From what can bo gathered, it appears that live pair went up to the hills to rehearse—for what purpose is not told—a dramatic scene of tin . Wild West description. One of the two extended his hand, with the Qngers spread out, and offered it us a target for (lie other, who levelled his c.un, and fired. The bullet, instead of passing between tho fingers, struck tho palm, and the ultimate result was n visit to the Wellington Hospital, where the "foreign body" was extracted. Both youths, it. is slated, have been reading j-ensalinnul "Buffalo Bill" literature, and frcr|ii»ntiiiß picture theatres, mid it is snnpascd that the foolish exploit on tho hills was inspired by some incident they had either read of or witnessed.
