Himself and another boy, about the same age, were pointing their guns at each other in sport, when accidently the gun of the young FULENWIDER, which is the name of the other boy, was discharged. -- This accident is the more deplorable owing to the fact that MRS. HOKE has been in a very critical state of health since the death of her husband. -- Rutherfordton Republican.
