to remain any time, to set directly about her ex-
animation, and To- make such repairs as were
cessary TO secure her against the action of ''wind

fully examined, corked and coated over and safely
placed under cover until they were wanted for use.
Then they were ready The outside of the yes

or three coats Of cheap paint, to protect them from
the effects Of the weather. The decks were well
corked and vanished and canvass spread over
them that they might mt be ruined by the sun

MURDER IN KENT Co. 1t is stated in the
Baltimore Sun on the authority of gentleman
from Chestertown, =" that most brutal murder
was committed on Monday night near Fawney
creek, about miles from that place. The body
of Mr. Edward Roe, overseer on the farm of Mr.
Thomas Walker, found at two O'Clock in the
morning, but short distance from home with his
brains beaten out, the horse on which he was re-
turning from Chestertown standing beside him.
1t appeared in evidence that he had on that morn
ing previous to leaving home, threatened to whip
negro belonging to Captain Joseph Wicks, of
Chestertown, who had been hired on the place.
This negro was the first one that gave informa-
ton, and was observed to closely examine his
clothes, apparently fearing that blood might be
on them, and was arrested with another and com
mitted for further examination. The deceased
was man of good character, about forty years of
age, and much respected
