         ACCIDENT AND DEATH IN NILES
         
         A son of Mr. GEO. METCALF, of Niles, aged about
       ten years, accidentally shot his younger brother,
       EZRA, aged six years, with a fowling piece, a day
       or two since, which caused his death in about
       eight hours. They were alone in the house at the
       time. The gun was loaded with shot, which took
       effect in the outer angle of the left eye, pass-
       ing through the brain, and lodging under the
       scalp opposite. He was a little fellow of much
       promise, and his loss is a sad one to the bereaved
       parents.
       
       *Transcriber Note: The 1860 Federal Census Mortality
        Schedule gives his name as JABEZ METCALF. The enumer-
        ator also made a detailed note on the page bottom
        which also states JABEZ METCALF.
