Bursted.

--On Wednesday night last, a young man named Joseph Sexton, while firing Christmas salutes, had an old fowling piece to burst in his hands, but received no serious injury by the accident. Guns, in careless bands, are always dangerous, but especially so when they are made for sale at very small sums, and by some are called "cheap."
