An alteration between father and son
named Norris. living in the northeastern por-
ton OF this county, took place one day last
week. which resulted in the son shooting the
father, iuflict ing two severe but not dangerous
wounds-one in the side, the otherin the arm.
What caused the difficulty was this: The old
gent traded his boy piece of land for horse
and gave him a deed for the land, took posses
sion OF the horse and had been using him for
some time. and every thing seemed to be going
en- as merry as marriage bell when one
bright morning the mother and wife stepped
in upon them Unexpectedly, after an absence
of two or three years, and during her absence
wrote or caused to be written, letter to the
family that she had gone that road from "whose
bourn no traveller returns" However, she re-
considered that proposition and came home to
claim her portion of the property, and told her
son TO take his horse book, that she would not
sign the deed transferring the land. So the
boy. acting on the suggestion of the mother.
forbade the father using the horse, claiming
no trade had been made. But the father, not
needing the injunction, took the horse to ride
one morning last week, and the son, urged o.
by his mother. took his shotgun and sbo
him twice. He then lett the country instantei
an has not been heard from since. He il
about eghte en- years Old. Mr.. Norris is said
to he quiet, inoheasi,e man and good
neighbor.
