We have the following details of a sad fatal
accident which occurred, on Tuesday last,
about four miles from Pennington, Kent county.

sister, who was about IA years of age, was very
carelessly handling a pistol when by some
means, it was discharged. by which the young

two wounded whites. Firing continued
against and from the courthouse for about
an hour when the whites set it on fire.
The negroes attempted to put it out, but
