throat, the blood from which floWed ont

on Mr. Bradbuiy's arm, had such an effect u, t
Mr. Bradbory's mind and imagination; as io hare

St. Theatf‘'s Church, on Sun nay last and, after
ine service' wits ended, he went into the tour) ,
and requested the Rev. Mr. Russell would pray for
him, as he:intepded ,tu cut his throat t The d;s,
