Let him be apprehended with all speed;
For fear he escape away; lay hands on him;
We cannot he too sure-'tis wilful murder"
The following " matter of fact' we gather
from an old manuscript, as a detail truly in
terestlng. After a short dissertation on the
subject Of criminal justice, circumstantial evil
dence, and a few other remarks relative to
his feelings and peculiar situation, the author
proceeds to relate his strange adventure, which
is as follows:
A wanderer by nature, as well as by ne
cessity, | had for many years been absent
from my own country, seeking to crafty my
love of variety, both in situation and society,
and to amass by my own diligence, golden
qualifications without which a man stands
but a poor chance of being looked upon in
the world. The first Of these objects | ac-
complished to my hearts content; but as to
the second | fell far short of my hopes, and
returned very near as poor as ] went; for,
except a few hundred pounds, invested in
merchandise, | set my foot on British ground
with about fifty dollars, and a few English
coins, and these for safer custody, | carried
in my pocket.
Necessity had taught me economy, and

the accommodation of a stage coach, to make
my way to the metropolis, / commenced my
journey as an humble pedestrian. Having
travelled in this way many miles, | stopped
at a mean inn by the way side to refresh my
self, and was soon seated among the molle,
group of the usual hangers-on at such place
of resort. Finding that about two miles fur
ther on the road, | should arrive at a sma.
market town, where accommodations for III
night, of a much more convenient natur,
could be procured, | resolved, after havin
sufficiently rested myself, to make my wa
thither to seek a place of repose.
On producing my purse to pay the demand
of my host, ! took out cautiously two or thr,
of my dollars, and laid them on the tabl
surrounded by the Doors of the village, wi
were attracted by the sight Of coin SO unf
miliar to their eyes; and TO satisfy their c.
Iiosity, ] showed them my store, and explain
