WHAT KIND OF MURDER ?-The
facts, as given by our informant, arethese:
on the 3Oih of March Mr.. Josiah Moore
OF Canterbury, about 60 years old. bro't
bush el OF oats and a jug 10 Concord on
hand-sied; he disposed of his oats and
procured quantity of Rum and set out
for home. He was found the next morn
ing within about half mile Of his house
fallen in the show and in IL chilled and
insensible state and died the following
morning.
Now comes the question what kind of
murder was this wilful, manslaughter,
or self-murder But we ought not 10
stop here, the question should be, BY whom
was this committed, who is he, where is
neg The search should be made-his
name and place should be known that the
public may know of whom they are in
danger and take the timely warning
Then we ask who is the criminal that
kills men with RUM2 Who lent their
aid In sending these grey hairs to the
grave?

extremely insolent and in many instances
have threatened the lives of the settlers.
They say that it is their intention to plant
corn on the Maquoquita this season, and
to drive the whites off the lands and COM

Mississippi The settlers are in conse-

The ENGLISH BAPTIST UNION
AS we always suspected, it now appears
that one of the chief objects of this body,
IN Insttuting correspondence with the
BaPtlsts of America, was to agitate the
question of abolition among the churches,
AT their last meeting in June, since the
return Of Messrs. Cox and Hobv to Eng
land they prepared an address to the
Board Of our Triennial Convention, ac-
comPanled by resolutions, in which they
openly declare the determination to ac-
knowledge no rules of intercourse which
shall restrain them, or their messengers,
from speaking freely on this subject
BE II So Of course the southern churches,
IN conserving to receive and sit with their
messengers in Convention hereafter, must
be understood as asserting to the terms; ;
subject on which they will be prepared,
in due time, doubtless, to give the most de-
etded oppression of their opinion We
are pleased that they have thus early
spoken out and let US know what we are
TO expect from them.-Soutkern Watch.
