HORRIBLE DEATH.--An old man named Thos. Smith,
who kept a turnpike-gate near Barnstable, Devonshire,
came by his death under shocking and mysterious cir-
cumstances a few days ago. It appears that a servant
in the employ of Mr. Brown was riding past the turn-
pik, -gate, when be saw the o'd roan with his clothes on
fire. In-tead of dismounting, the servant rode back to
the town, a half-mile to get assistance. When he came
back the lower parts of the poor old man's holy were
burnt to a cinder, but he was still alive. He was re-
moved to the Barnstaple Infirmary, and died a short
time afterwards. Before his death he asked for his watch
and some money,. which he said he possessed, but they
were nowhere to be found. He was subjected to fit 4,
and might have set himself on fire while suffering from
one of them.
