WINCHZSTBR, SEPT. 2.
It is with a degree of sorrow Seldom expe
rienced, that we enter upon the recital of
the following melancholy event :--A few
days ago an unhappy dispute took place at
Rath, between a captain Randolph & anoth
er gentleman, whose name we have not yet
heard ; that a challenge was sent by the
latter to the former, of which a Captain R.
refufed the challenge, and threw the note
on the ground, lignifying at the fame time,
that he did not think his opponent upon an
equally with him. The behaviour of cap
tain R, iri ated capt. Thomas, who also
dared him to combat, which was refufed by
the former on the fame score. A day or
two afterwards, Capt. Thomas was boasting
in company that he had frightened some of
the Continentals. This behaviour drew
down the vengeance of Major Blackburn,
who, very unfortunately happened to be
present—his resentment knew no bounds—
he assailed Capt. Thomas, and (Oh ! that
we could break off here, but alas ! the fe
quel, mournful as it is, must be disclosed)
with a dirk put a period to his eziftence.
The unhappy Blackburn is committed to
prison in Martinfburg^
