Wray, of Verulam, met with a very serious accident while on his way to feed some cattle on a farm nearly a mile from that on which the family reside. As the road for part of the distance runs through a swamp, it was the habit of the young man to take a rifle with him on working days, though he had never before taken it with him on a Sunday, and why he did so on this occasion we have not heard. After carrying it part of the way, he decided to leave it until he returned, and, while he was looking for a good place to put it, the charge, from. some reason, cx- ploded, and the ball passed through the BIRTIâ€"IS.
