Tore a Hole in His Face.

John Stevenson, of near Aix, was the victim of a painful accident last Saturday. He was loading an old muzzle loader shot gun, when one barrel, which contained powder but no shot, went off. The gun wad and burning powder struck him in the face and tore a hole in it, and also badly disfigured his face with powder. Dr. English dressed the wound and reports him on a fair way to recovery.
