children, and this female servant, or slave
On the return of the widow io her friend IN
Massachusetts,, she took on tins glrl with her

For they persuaded the girl to leave her mis-

and having no h"'no and no friends, this very
glrl was brought Ia bed and had white child
IN the tavern, aud died in this very Holden

frozen that II is feared he will lose the use Of
hIs fingers II no, Of his hands, and his body
badly Scared and marked with a whip. Ii
appears that Bell has been IN the habit of bad
ly beating the boy, rho p foolish person,
and that on the 3lsl az Whereabouts, he tied
the negro's arms together and left him all
day in a cold open room, when his hands were
badly frOIen. A warrant has been issued
against Bell who has escaped into Vermont,
TO be a martyr"
