Sorrowful Accident!

On the 5th instant a small boy about six years of age, son of John and Mary 
Hoskins, near the Seven Stars, Aston township, Delaware county, his father and 
mother being absent, took up an old gun, that had been charged about Christmas 
and several times attempted to be discharged but failed; presented the gun at 
his sister, of about ten years of age, drew the trigger and unfortunately the 
gun went off, and lodged its contents in her bowels!  She immediately fell and 
expired, calling for her papa.
