FATAL ACCIDENT -- A correspondent at Woodbridge writes us that a fatal accident occurred near Liberty, on Friday last, to a lad by the name of Thomas RAFFERTY. He was out hunting quail, and in climbing a fence with his gun, the latter was discharged, the shot entering under his chin, killing him instantly. He was found on the following morning, the gun being on 1 side of the fence and the deceased on the other. He was a lad of some 14 or 15 years of age and well known as a rider of horses at races. He has a mother living in San Francisco or Sacramento.
