A few days ago, as Major Balfbur, of the first or royal Scots regiment, and his brother, were out shooting, near Fort George, in Scotland, the Major, having fired his piece at some birds, desired his brother to fire also, when, unfortunately, as he was preparing to do so, the Major stept forward before the muzzle of the gun, received the charge in his head, and expired a few hours after. The Major was universally esteemed.
No words can express the agony of his brother upon this melancholy catastrophe.
