Shocking accident--a father Kills his little Son. --In New Orleans, Christmas morning, Mr. James Crofton took an old pistol, which had been some time loaded, and proceeded to unload it, that his little boy, a chubby youngster six or seven years old, might salute Christmas by firing it off upon his loading it with blank charges. As he was extracting the bullet, the pistol went off, and the little fellow, who was gleefully waiting for his chance to fire the pistol off, received the bullet in his breast, and fell dead. The alarm spread, and the father, in the most frantic distress, was taken to the police office, there to await the result of the Coroner's investigation. The inquest was held, and the wretched man was discharged.
