Aug. 1, 1843           Charlotte Journal
   -- We understand that a sad accident occurred at Davidson College on the 
26th ult., which must have considerably marred the festivities of 
commencement. -- While some of the young men of the college were making 
arrangements to set off a fire balloon, a pan of spirits of turpentine caught 
fire, and in the hurry of throwing the turpentine out to extinguish the flame, 
nearly the whole contents of the pan were thrown on MARSHALL KENNEDY, a son of 
the late M. C. KENNEDY of Mecklenburg, and the fire communicating immediately 
to his clothes he was so badly burnt that he expired about 12 0'clock the next 
day. Several others were burnt, but none seriously injured. This should be a 
warning to others.
