Yesterday morning, from what we can, a
quarrel arose between Mr.. Bailey Phillips
and his oldest son. Caswell Phillips, at
his residence three miles from Lauderdale,
in which his son cursed him; whereupon,
a younger son William, who was present,
gathered a stick of wood and struck his
brother over the head from which he died
soon afterwards. We did not learn the ORR
gin of the quarrel. The parties {, this sad
affair are we'll known citizens ofthe county,
and the occurrence seems to be regretted by
every one.

We understand that a young man named
Phillips was killed by his brother, about
five miles from Lauderdale, last Thursday.
Ii seems that the father and two sons were
greasing Il wagon, when dispute arose be-
tween about the manner in which it should
be done, and one OF the young men cursed
his father, whereupOn his brother picked
up billet of wood and struck him over the
head, iracturing his skull, from the effects
of which he died i'll about an hour.
