The Paper called tteLynchbrogh Frew, of
mentions the death of Bartholomew Curtis, aged betwet:: TO At:a
80 years, who was born deaf and dumb. lie enrolled I.;:rs.if at
the Beginning of our revolutionary war in the regular army,
served his country in the field with distinguished zeal ar.d
courage. It is said, that he was remarkable for vigour
and acuteness of mind—that his countenance was replete w.th
expreseion, and his gesture singularly intelligible and elimt:ent.—
The following relation is given of the lamentable end to which
this remarkable man was destined:—" Stricken wi:h years, a
wekome and privileged guest at every house, where he nos per-
sonally known, the old man, after going to several places in the '
neighbourhood in his usual unceremonious way, sojourned, on
last Friday night, at the house of • Mrs. Seib Ann &less. He
was lighted to bed in the upper story of the house. About ten
o'clock, after the deceased and every member of the family had
sunk into profound sleep, the mansion was suddenly, and by ac-
cident, wrapped in the flames of a desolating fire, from which
Bartholomew Curtis never escaped. The other persons proviJen-
tiany saved their lives. The subject of this obituary was entirely
burnt up, with the exception of his bones. Thus perished Bar-
tholomew Curtis, a deaf and dumb soldier of the revolution.—
Let the philanthropist and patriot re-echo the benign'sentiment
of the good old I.ady in whose dwelling be perished. If,' said
she, poor Thall could only have been saved from the flaunts, I
should not regard my own losses, great as they are."
SHOCKING CATASTOOPHE—Friday morning last, a young man,
named John Gales, servant to John White, farmer, a Br. nking
Moor, near Darlington, met an untimely death, through the in-
sanity of his master. White has at different times of late exhi-
bited strong symptoms of mental derangement, and on the even-
ing preceding the melancholy event, was strongly impressed with
the idea that his house was infested by robbers. Under this int-
, pression he Would not retire to rest, but he wandered about t 1.1:
house with a loaded gun in his band the whole night. Earle ii
the morning the unfortunate deceased came down stairs, and pro-
ceeded to go out to his work, but finding the outer door fastened,
he went into the kitchen. "White at that time being in the pas-
sage, suddenly approached and fired, lodging the contents of his '
gun in the body of the unfortunate Gales, near the hip-bore. !e
fell, and in about two hours expired. The Coroner itoy re-
turned the following verdict s--" That John Gales came to 1-:s
death by Jobb White firing a gun, loaded with gunp.eriler
shot, whilst the said John White was in a fit of mental dt ra..s,•-
ment."—White has been committed to the County
his trial for murder at the ensuing Assizes.
