FREDERICKTOWN, JULY 12.
'T^HE following tragical circumstance
1 (communicated to the printer by
a gentleman of veracity) took place on
Tuefday last, at Charleftown, (Virginia)
28 miles fiom this town :—a Mr. Abra
ham Vanhorne, an inhabitant of that
neighbourhood, who kept and drove a
ream for several years past, had just re
turned from a journey—his horses being
fatigued they were turned loose in order
iq give them an opportunity to recreate
therfelves. In a few minutes after
wards, two of them broke into a Wheat
field belonging to a Mr. John Crane,
and, without doubt, did some damage
to the proprietor. Mr. Crane having
received intelligence that the horses were
In his field, immediately repaired thither
—cut out the horses eyes—tied a bunch
of straw to each of their tails, let it on
fire, and drove them away. Had the
feene ended here, happy would it have
been for Mr. Crane! whose ungoverna
ble disposition, heated by passion and re
sentment, knew no bounds, but pressed
on with eager fwiftnefs, the heart it sur
rounded, to obtain a further fatisfa&ioa
of the inoffenfiva owner of the beasts.
Mr. Vanhorne, on hearing of the fate of
his horses, went to Crane, and remon
strated with him on the impropriety of
treating his property in the manner a
bovementioned—high words arose, and
the consequence was, that Mr. Vanhorne
received a wound in* the lower part of
his belly, given him by his adversary
with aknife which let out his bowels,
and he died immediately. Crane was
shortly after taken up, and committed
to Mlrtinfburg goal.
Thus perilhed, in the bloom of life,
a young and ufeful member of society ;
particularly diffinguifhed among his
neighbours, as a peaceable,- inoffen five
man, and lamented by all with whom he
was acquainted.

when a call-court was convened, to in

her death was occasioned by wilful mur
der. David Rathell, her husband, was
on the fame day apprehended on a sus
picion of having perpetrated the crime,
aad after an examination before a ma
gidrate, he was committed to gaol for
inhuman deed, i>, chat the deceased was
far advanced in her pregnancy. Her
peculiar titration called loudly for com
