Adrian, Nov. 2. A sou of Henry Wilhite, a farmer near Adrian, acci dentally shot himself last Saturday, which will probably cost hts lite. It seems he was sitting on the barn Moor with a double barrelled gun across his lap and tinkering at it. One barrell was by some means dis charged and the recoil of the load kicked the gun off his lap against some object the jar ot which, fired the second bairell, which struck the unfortunate lad in the hip, ranging upward across the abdomen. Mr. Jonathan Morgan happened to be riding past the barn, heard the shots and cries of the boy hastened to his rel.et, found his clothes on fire and a gastly wound in his hip. Morgan carried the lad to his father's house and then started for a doctor, 4 miles off. Dr. Gilmore says the boy may recover but ,the chances are against him. Mr. Wiihite is quite unfortu nate with his family.
