abe-bodied man, capable OF doing any work, he has
managed TO excite the sympathy of the commissioner
OF the poorhouse and thus obtain the support Of the
county lie IS OF most revengefnl, malicious dspo-
sion. The commissioner ordered him Ia be disrhae.
ed and he attributed the cause To Mr. Cobb To re-
venge himself, he eniced Mr. Cis son into an uJper
chamber, there struck him three times on the head
with shue'hammer, and Then cut his throat from ear
10 ear Having done this he put the child int bis
trunk, locked IT, aud locked also the chamber door; set
hire to the building in adjoining room, and f1f the
purpose as is supposed, of drawing attention from
that, he Immediately fred the barn attached 10 the
poorhouse; then he proceeded TO the barn Of John

so; and then TO that Of Bryce llosg. the other COM
