very solemn and melancholy character.
The fret, the murder of mum by two gem.
blers, who had follow ed him from McMinn.

siou that he was possessed OF large amount
Ut money. He showed me the spot where
they committed the horrid decd, il being
near To The basin, where they had decoy ed
their unsus2ecing victim under the pretence
OF showing him this interesting spectacle
| Suthce II To say that he was most barbarous>
ly murdered, and then despoiled Of all he
had, and his mangled corpse was lett expos
ed In the beasts Of prey. He was, however.
soon discovered, and received decent inter
ment. The other incident was the acciden>
tai destruction OF negro man, who having
He'd from his master, trader who was tax

sued at night, leaped headiong, unconscious
ly, over the dreadful precipce 10 the right Of
the tall, fully one hundred and fifty ieet, and
mangled his head and body against the cracs
