   A MOST MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT - We find in the Raleigh Register the 
particulars of a most distressing accident which happened in Franklin County 
on the 17th inst. Two gentlement, named SAMUEL CLIFTON and SHERWOOD DENTON, 
neighbors on the most intimate terms of friendship, went into the country to 
shoot rabbits. After a while, a rabbit was startled on a creek, and MR. DENTON 
went on one side and MR. CLIFTON on the other. Shortly after, MR. CLIFTON 
caught sight of the rabbit and fired, one of the shots entering MR. DENTON'S 
breast near the heart and another in his leg. MR. DENTON died in about 15 
minutes.
