Firming*, none negroes died without any epidemic
disease. A witched old woman came to me a few
days ago. to tell me she we. compelled to week in
the field. She was a favourite house-negro in her
former master's family. and had nursed one of his
children. Being ordered to throw a mixture of
gunpowder sod salt-water on the 'mingled bodies of
Cie negroes whipt in the market-pl ire, she refuted,
and tocoreed the displeasure of her 'neater ; and
her intellects hate glace been evidently disordered.
