Afflicting Occurrence - Died, a few days since, at his residence in Cadiz township, Mr. Ambrose Cunningham. The deceased, a few days before his death, was at a neighbor's where a number of persons were collected to clear off a piece of new ground. After the business of the day was over, the deceased and mr. Robert Love, had a slight quarrel, which was soon becoming more serious, ended by Mr. Love striking the deceased on the back part of the head with the heart of a shingle bolt. The deceased survived but a few days. Love is now in jail awaiting his trial. This is the second death that has occurred in this county within three months past, at what is called a Frolic. Valentine was killed at a husking frolic, and Cunningham at a chopping frolic. Is it not time to quit frolicing?
