On the 25th ult. Simon
Smith, of Add-on, a very re
fpeaable wealthy citizen,
was found dead in the woods
not far from his house, with
his head thro' the limb of a
small ftaddle, partly withed.
It appeared that he had ta
ken the limb or twig of a
small bush, and twifted'it in
such a manner as to be able
to tie it in a look loop,
without cutting it from the
bush, through which he put
his head, then lay down on
his belly with his neck across
it in such a manner as to sus
pend his head abouteight in
ches from the ground. A ju
ry impannelled returned him
in/ane. The cause of this me
lancholly accident is laid to
arise from a disappointment
in the event of a law suit re
fpeaing his farm, determined
by the Supreme Cdurt the
present circuit, which trou
bled his mind to such a de
gree as to deprive him of rea
son, and then to commit the
fhoeking crime. He has left a
numerous, refpectable,incon
folable family.
