Accidentally Killed --We hear of a fatal accident which took place a few
miles above Big Island on Monday.  Mr. Archer Talley, a well-known huntsman,
and his son-in-law, a Mr. Austin, started out from the house for a day in the
woods, Mr. Talley being in front and having his rifle in his hand and a
bucket swung on his shoulder.  In some way the bucket struck the cock of the
gun discharging it, the ball entering Mr. Austin's head near the eye, and
killing him instantly.
