which she lay indicated nothing like strug-
| Cling previous to her death, but looked as
if she had lain down quietly and died. All
was doubt aud uncertainty in the minds OF
the spectators concerning her death, and
she was accordingly buried on the 9th.
A short time subsequent to her nlerment
suspicion arose in the minds of some that
James Courtney was her murderer, vino
insisted upon having her taken up and ex-
amincd by the surgeons. She was disinter-
red on Sunday the 18th, but they discover
ed no other marks of violence than those
found upon the first examination but they
ascertained she was pregnant, and this cir
cumstance strengthened their suspicion of
Courtney's guilt, for they looked upon him
as her seducer. He was unprecedented and
committed to prison. A special court was
called on the 18th. After nearly two days
Of patient and laborious investigation, the
testimony closed. After consultation of
about ten minutes, the judges decided that
the prisoner should be discharged.
We have never before witnessed such
intense anxiety manifested by our fellow
! citizens on any previous occasion. The
responsibility of the connexions Of the de-
ceased, and of Courtney, and the mystery
that hangs over her death, gave to the trial
a degree of interest seldom witnessed in q
court of justice. Shadows, clouds and
darkness rest upon" the transaction; Court
ney is discharged and Rachel Votaw sleeps
with tho shrouded millions Of the grave.
Death in the Pot.-A farmer on the
banks of the Piscataquis river, in the town
Of Foxcroft, for many years had kept a
large pot near tho margin Of the river, for
the convenience of his family on washing
days. 1t SO happened few days since that
the farmer had turned into the pasture
where the pot stood, a pair OF yearling
steeds tied together; who, having fancy
to explore the interior of the capacious YES
sol, thrust both their heads together into it..
When being unable to withdraw them, they
raised the pot upon their heads, and taking
the direction Of the river, plunged in. The
weight Of the pot drew their heads under
water. and in that grotesque predicament
they we're found drowned. Another mel
ancholy instance Of death in the pot.

From the Me,o-LisbOn (Ohio) Palladium.

A circumstance of most melancholy
nature took place in this county on the eve-
ming of the 9TH inst. Miss Rachel Votaw,
q young lady of unblemished reputation un-
til that night of horror when she ceased to
be an inhabitant of the earth, was the
daughter of highly respectable parents
Possessing youth and beauty, she saw no.
thing in perspective but long years of hap
piness; hope shed its beams upon her and
enlightened her path, and her young heart
was buoyant with JOY. She was an orna-
ment to the circle in which she moved, and
the fond object of her parents love.
On the evening of her decease, she was
observed by one Of the family to change
some part of her dress after the family had
retired to rest. She stated she did not feel
very well, and would sit for while at the
fire. How long she remained there, is no.
known, as the family were soon asleep
The night passed, but in the morning Ra-
chel was not under the paternal roof. Her
parents supposed she had eloped with Jas.
Courtney. the son Of respectable neigh
Dor who had been paying attention to her,
and who had conversed with her a lone
time on the day previous. Inquiry was i'm.
mediately made, but the family Of Courtney
knew nothing of her. They became alarm
ed, the neighbors were called, and diligenl
search made for her. In short time she
was found. but her spirit had fed. The
cause Of her death was strangulation, as shs
had handkerchief drawn tightly rount
her neck, fastened with two knots. Suspi.
cion did not Immediately attach to an,
person in the neighbOrhoOd, as being con
cerned in taking her life. The ground OF

The cost Of maintaining one of these o.
vergrown fish in pond, IS immense. Sir
Cecil computes that one which in % wears
had grown to thirty six pounds, must in
that time have destroyed $4,000 fish,
Bowlker says that one put into pond.
weighing s. pounds, in one year consumed
every fish in it. A fresh supply was maids,
but they too soon disappeared. He was
then fed upon fish, entrails, &c. and was
often observed to draw ducks, &c. under
water. Being neglected, he finally died
for want Offood.

Farewell to thee! farewell!

Of song, shall thrill this heart;
And thou aud thine shall ever be
Fondly beloved aud long by the.
weep not, for thine eye,
Though darky bright it beams,
Nor brow so fair and high,
Though angels brow it seems;
But mind SO pure, so bless'd as thine,
Hath melted harder hearts than mine.
And must bid adieu!
Aud can I ever part
From one 80 fair, SO true,
So CHERISHED as thou art?
Yes! but the loved 3 unlinely knell

And though for aye we part,
And thee no more view

The fondest prayer that 3 heard on high
Shall be to meet thee 'yOnd the sky.
