bis child, when, dreadful TO relate, the
mother confessed the murder, and the

cordipg 10 the Worcester (Mass.) Spy,
the good people Of Uxbridge have been
thrown into a state Of excitement, IN

further, that she can discover through
solid partitions what is passing in the
room adjoining that 10 which she is
placed, telling who are in the room,
the location OF each person in the diff
ferent parts, their changes Of position,
&c. &c.-and all this test, too, conduc-
