A melancholy result of the lack of caution ensued a few days since to Luther Ellyson, a promising youth, son of Mr. Henry K. Ellyson, of this city.
The accident occurred on his father's farm, in Nottoway county.
Coming to a halt in the woods, he set his gun down, which was cooked, and placed his hand over the muzzle, when his foot struck against the trigger and fired it off, discharging the whole load through the centre of his hand, shattering the bones and mutilating it in a shocking manner.
The best medical skill was called in, and for a while the wound was not considered a dangerous one; but in a day or two he grew worse, and amputation of the band became necessary.
Nothing, however, could save his life for lockjaw then took place, and after great suturing, he died on Tuesday last.
