lay two dogs, alive but much emacated, and so per

effort could entice drive them from the spot Their
master was most probably, the occupant of that grave
and their presence there, under such circumstances

devotion. few miles further on, they came upon

The most important items OF news by this steamer is

eighteen immigrants massacred in the southern part Of

occurrence was sent from here by the last ma-wcre
