    3. >From "The Western Weekly Review" September 7, 1849 ---FATAL OCCURRENCE --A small son of Mr. Swink, at Medon, in this county, was gored by a cow a few days since, and died in a short time. -- Jackson West. Tennessee Whig A letter from Jackson, Tenn., informs us that the Hon. ADAM HUNTSMAN died at his residence near this place, on the evening of the 23rd ult., of dropsy. He had filled many public stations, and filled them well, and enjoyed a high measure of the respect and esteem of his fellow citizens. March 15, 1850 MURDER We learn that a difficulty occurred on last Saturday, (the election day) near Independence, Henderson County, between Messrs. Koffman and Lisenberry, in which the latter was stabbed in the main artery of the thigh, and died in a few minutes. Koffman was taken into custody, lodged in Jail, and awaits his trial at the next term of the Henderson Court. We did not learn the particulars of the affray. --Jackson, Tenn., Whig. Laurel Baty
