An atrocious act was lately committed at a farm some miles to the southward of Aberdeen, in consequence of an unhappy quarrel between a father and son, concerning the property of a field of barley.  The parties were on the field about the reap the barley, when, after some altercation, the father wounded his son in the groin, with the sickle he held in his hand, and infuriated with passion, continued his violent attack, by throwing stones at him so as to break several of his ribs.  For some time the wounded man promised recovery, but, for several days past, has taken such an unfavourable turn, as to render it now very doubtful.
