CHELMSFORD, OCT. 12.

We have the painful task of recording another me.
lancholy and fatal accident by a fowling•piece. Mr.
Geroge Barnes, of Braintree, with his brother, went out
on Tuesday afternoon with their guns, when, in crossing
a fence, Mr. George flaynes's gun, which was cocked,
got entangled with his clothes and esploded ; the charge
passed through his body. He continued folly sensible,
but in great agony, until two o'clock on Wednesday
morning, when he expired. Mr. Baynes was a single
Gentleman, and possessed considerable property.
