DISTRESSING OccURRENcE.--A very un-
pleasant affair took place on Friday evening
last, at Charlotte Hall, ST. Mary's Co., Md
MIR. George @. Ashcom was shot through the
head by young man named Thomas, son Of
DR.. Thomas, of that county. The difficulty
was between the..father Of the young gentle
man and Mr.. A., in relation TO some farming
affairs. 1t was, at first, thought the wound
would prove fatal but some hope was indulg-
ed, when our informant left Charlotte Hall.
DR.. Hall, of this city, has been called upon TO
render his professional services in this case
Being intimately connected with Mr.. Ashcom
and family, we state these facts with sincere
regret, and hope the wound will not prove the
cause Of his death.
