make out what I was for considerable
time, but as he come up found out that
t was an old dead sheep: it looked as tough

the weighty gentlemen looked as if they
had been bit, and without saying word tc

MR.. ADAMS CHARGES OF INTENDED
TREASON.
1t has been alleged by some persons
that Mr.. Adams does not assert his present
belief in the charges contained in his let.
tiers to Mr.. Giles; that he only recites,
