Killed.

--Samuel Worrell, a boy aged 15 years, was killed at Danville, Va., several days ago, by companion named Samuel Angel. Worrell was suffering intense pain from a swollen foot, and in his agony begged Angel to kill him. Not thinking the gun was loaded, and having no idea of doing mischief, Angel took down a fowling piece, fired and killed his companion. The affair created much excitement in Danville.
