BAD BLOOD
    On Monday last, several neighbors met at the house of JOHN BOYD, a few 
miles from this town (Washington) for the purpose of assisting him in putting 
up a chimney; while there a quarrel ensued between JOSEPH BOYD, the brother of 
JOHN, and a young man named PARTNER GIBBS, who acted as an overseer for MRS. 
BOYD, the mother of JOSEPH and JOHN. When the dispute became warm, BOYD left 
the company and went home. GIBBS swore he would follow him to his house and 
give him a flogging - those present declared he should not; he then appeared 
more quiet and stayed until the company were about to disperse, when he also 
started taking the direct road to MRS. BOYD'S and continued in it until out of 
sight of the house, when he cut a large club and proceeded to the house of 
JOSEPH BOYD with the intention of executing his threat; but when within a few 
paces of the door, BOYD raised his gun and fired, and GIBBS fell, a lifeless 
corpse. Farther we have not understood. Washington Recorder, 3rd inst.
