   MURDER OF WILLIAM GIBSON
   We understand that a shocking murder was committed at the Constable's 
election at Melville, Alamance  County on Saturday last. JOHN SHAW, a man 
considerably advance in life, stabbed his son-in-law, WILLIAM GIBSON, twice, 
and afterwards threw a stone at him, breaking his skull, and causing his death 
in a few minutes. Both were drunk at the time -- SHAW is represented as being 
very peaceable when sober, but a dangerous man when in liquore. He was 
comitted to await his trial. -- Hillsboro Recorder
