Saturday last a melancholy accident happened to Mr. Champling, who erected the windmill on Exmouth Point. He, on some occasion, went too near the vanes, whilst the mill was at work, when suddenly he received so severe a wound, that he languished about an hour and half, and then expired, leaving two young orphan sons to lament the loss of a tender father, and a good member of society.
