It appears that M'Caufling has lately
become deluded in matters of religion.—
For some time he has principally a®ciated
himfelf with a j.arty of baptists, living on
a plantation beck of Pittdon, headed by
one Stinlon, and two or three others. In
oue of his parexums of religious iclanity,
he burnt an elegant church in the town of
Pittston. He fays, that Stinfon tcld him
that his brother Edmond Fectis, who was
lately executed tor the murder of Pamelia
Tilton was certainly gone to heaven, and
that the road to Heaven was marked with
blood. M'Caufling thought, that as Fortis
had gone to beaten he should go there too,
provided he (h?uld use the fame means.
After hr had reafmed himlelf into the pro
priety of going to heaven in oicod, who
mould fail b, his hand, was his next object
of inquiry. He pitched on Mrs. Warren ;
went to her houie arid enquired after h.r,
and fiadiog that the had gone to viiiit lick
mother about ten mires op the stream, he
puriued her in a darK night, through weeds
and over rivers which were aimed imparti
ble by day. When he arrived at the fatal
foot, he found her fitting behind, and hol
ding up her lick mother's head. Wait
ing his opportunity ,he flung her back with
his left hand, and with hrs right hand,
drew a knife from his pocket, where he
had concealed it, and inftanily cut her
throat, with mt her being able tofay mere
than this— M'Cafl^, ateyou „:% to mur

he mull remain for the,catenas which a
