Murdered by a Boy.

--Last Saturday, a lad, 17 years old, named James Flynn, whose father had a quarrel with one Michael Harrington, happening to meet the latter one or two miles above Carrolton, asked him whether he had yet the revolver with which he threatened the life of Mr. Flynn. On his receiving an affirmative answer, "Well," said he, "defend yourself" As Harrington placed his hand on his breast, James fired, and the ball passing through Harrington's hand and body, killed him on the spot--N. O. Ben. 1st.
