condition, both of mind and body. Some
two hours aitet, his negroes reported TO the
neighbors that he had fallen into the lire

Immediately assembled, aud found him
corose. Burns upon different parts OF his
uerson we're discovered; but his hair was
mot singed even, and his clothing was with
opt a scorch. Under these circumstances,
il was supposed that the burns must have
bsan scslds from hot water. His two little
daughters were asleep at the hme ia the
chamber, but could tell nothing OF Tue SUD

had been deprived Of their protector.
IAN examination being instituted suspt-

his negroes were harbonng The runaway,
and to prevent a continuance OF Tie Prac

murder locked up the two suspected in an

night, however, he was stunned BY blow,

been prepared Cor the purpose, was poured
through funnel down his throat, until life
became extinct. He was then conveyed TO
