of the most wicked and unfeeling muir
ders that we have had occasion to re-
cord. As a man named Noah Barnan

house, and killed almost instantly, the
contents of a musket, consisting of small
stones and shot, taking effect in his head

may still he found;" and true enough,
the bones of old Peter were found on re-
moving the pier about fortnight since.

Sour GRAPES. Mr.. Senator Holmes

that the people Of this State, whom he
has often boasted ofriding, have at length
grown restve and show a determination
to dismount him so he leaps off and cries
