agent in California, led us 10 fear that he
had been ynched or ha! died suddenly
ci some other disease common TO newly
settled countries {; but we were pleasant

hand and seal. We had some difficulty
dccyphc'ing the original, which appears

used by the writer, inscad Of common
sand, and which ia some measure lllnmi-
