                        ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING
                        
                Full Particulars of the Sad Death of
                          CHAS. M. KIMEL.
                          
              EDITOR SENTINEL: - Doubtless many of your
            readers have already heard of the dispensation
            of Providence, which has so lately occurred in
            our midst; the death of our young friend, CHARLIE
            M. KIMEL. He died May 28th, aged 22 years, 5
            months and 17 days. This mysterious Providence,
            so sudden, like a clap of thunder in a clear sky,
            has shocked the community and caused the inquiry,
            Why! Oh, Why! But that problem will not be solved
            until we see the Master. Jesus said, "What I do
            thou knowest not now, but thou shalt know here-
            after."
              On the evening of May 11th, CHARLIE and his
            three little brothers were at their father's
            fish pond; one of the little boys stepped a few
            paces to shoot, (at CHARLIE'S suggestion) when,
            alas! the gun fired, and the contents took effect
            in CHARLIE'S head. Dr. N. S. SIEWERS was called
            in, and everything was done, that tender hands,
            and a successful physician could do, to relieve
            the sufferer, and save his life. He seemed some-
            what paralyzed by the wound, but could speak,
            so as to be understood, sometimes asking, "What
            day is this," "What are we going to do to-day?"
            &c. One day he seemed fully conscious and very
            much moved in spirit; he told the family he
            loved Jesus, pointing his companions to Heaven
            and to Jesus. The family, who knew him best,
            believe he realized the love of Jesus in his
            heart, and what, but God's grace, can so comfort
            a frail mortal in the very jaws of death.
              CHARLIE was an obedient and affectionate son,
            a true and loving brother, a firm and decided
            friend, lived a quiet, moral life.
              His funeral sermon was preached at New Friend-
            ship, text Esther 8:13; "Be ready against that
            day." Some important lessons God is ever press-
            ing home to us, viz: How frail is the time of
            life. How uncertain the time and way of our
            death. This world is not our home. The family
            return thanks for all kindness shown.
                     Friend.
