Sat. Oct. 24, 1857   North Carolina Argus. October 1857
   We regret to record a distressing accident which occurred to MR. GEORGE 
SOUTHALL of this town (Wilmington). MR. SOUTHALL had prepared a small vial of 
a chemical composition of which nitric acid was the principal ingredient, and 
while conversing with a friend, the vial exploded, scattering the corrosive 
fluid into  the face of MR. SOUTHALL, a portion entering one of his eyes, 
instantly depriving it os sight.
   This painful accident should be a warning to persons handling chemicals.
                       --WILMINGTON HERALD
