A Lee Y Ese.i re.- -The celebrated Aaron Hill, when
in Egypt, hail tlic citriosity to examine a catacomb. He
was accompzeied in :i;6 expedition by two gentlemen, and
comlactod by one of time natives of the country as a guide.
They at length arrived at the spot, 311,i, without taking any
'tire of some fellows who were sauntering about the place,
dc:ceuded by ropes into the vault. Nu sooner were they
let down then they were presented with a spectacle which
Itruck them with horror. Two gentlemen, apparently
starved to death, lay before them ; one of these unhappy
sic:4ms had a tablet in his hand, on which was written, lit
very pathetic language, the story of their lamentable fate.
lt seemed that they were brothels of rank and family in
Venit it, and having in the course of their travels intnated
tlteniselvis with one of the natives for the purpose of visit-
mg the catacomb, the perfidious villain had left them to
perish. The danger to which Mr. Hill and his (thuds
were exposed instantly alarmed them. They had scarce
read :se talc, when, looking up, they beheld their inhuman
guide, assisted by two others, whom they had seen near the
;pct, closing the entrance into the vault. They were now
rC•duceil to the utmost distress; they, however, drew their
stvuttls, determined to make a desperate effort to rescue
themselves front a situation so appalling. With this re-
solution they were groping about at random in the dark,
when they were startled at the groans of some one seemingly
in site agonies of death. They listened to the dismal sound,
slid at length, by the glimmering light (tom the top of the
catacomb, they saw a man just murdered, and a little be-
yond they beheld hs inhuman murdering, flying with the
utilliost incarnation. They pursued them immediately,
lied though not able to come up with them, they had the
toed fortune to reach the opening through which the
&retches camped out of the cavern, just tnfore they bad
‘ty roll the stone en the top of it.
