A Correspondent Ofthe Cong. Journal gives the
following account Of the death Of the James while
hunting a few weeks since at Canaan, Essex County:
A few days since was passing by the place called
the Corner, in Canaan, Vermont, and down through
met considerable company Of men, some on horse
back, and foot with slaves; and all appeared
very solemn On enquiry learned that they had
just come down from a settlement in the north
westerly part of the town, where they had been to
bring in the dead bodies oftwo young from the
woods The circumstances connected with their death
were peculiarly distressing. They were sons, and
only children, Of Deacon John James and wife, all
members ofthe Freewill Baptist church. The eldest,
Joseph, not far from 80 years of age, had wife and
8 children. The other about %, and lived with
his father and mother. They had been in the habit
Of hunting and trappinga at Of the year
and obtaining little money from furs.
On very warm and beautiful morning, Monday,
the 4th of Nov, with axe and gun and provision in
their pack for three days. they entered extensive
forest which lay westerly of their neighborhood, to
travel by marked circuit of about 80 miles land
examine their sable traps set up intervals the whole
distance or in other words collect Their game, and
set up their traps their "sabc.line.' But when
the expected time of their return they did not
arrive; and alter great anxiety, and delay, a
thorough search was made, they were found and
rous facts and probabilities brought to light.
1t was not ascertained where they campcd Monday
night; at that time the ground bare and the
weather warm The line struck off south about 10
miles to the head waters Of the Nnhegan river,
