commited about week aimee, by o monster
named John Bright, on the person OF young
lady Of Southmolton, Penn. whose name ,hro'

IL seems that an engagement had for some
IIne existed between the parties, which 10 an

the young lady proved TO be in a state OF do.
nestle solicitudo. The wretch, conscious that
the ruin Of the unsuspec,ing girl was com.
plated, and wishing to disen,angle himself
from his promises, determined to brcsk the
existing ties, by sending her to another world
with all her imperfections on her head. On
Saturday evening, the 18th ul,. he called at the
residence Of the lady, and proposed walking {;
which She unhesi,s,ingIy complied. During
their walk they rsmbed round the margin Of
