Boston, May 28.  Wednesday last a number of boys from the
North End going in a boat on a frolick to one of the islands
in this harbour, they carried a drum, and several guns to
divert themselves; before they reached the place where they
designed, one of the guns went off accidently, and shot
Michael Bennet, son to Capt. William Bennet, about 13 years
of age, and wounded him in such a manner that he died in
less than an hour after.
