SINGULAR AND SHOCKING AFFAIR Our
readers have already been informed that male in

shall Dill having been employed by the County
Judge to ascertain if possible who was the mother
Of the child, commenced the work with his accus.
TONED diligence and has very Unexpectedly devel-
oped another unnatural and revolving case of crime.
An Irish girl living in the vicinity of Mr. Walters
was found who from certain indications was sus.
peoteA ofhaying recently given birth to child, but
when first charged with being the mother of the
founding she strenuously denied anything of the
kind She finally acknowledged, however, that she
had gwen birth to st-born infant on the night
Of the 4th of July but had secretly buried it 10 the
cellar Of house in the country where she was then
living as servant in the family. Tuesday, Mr..
Dill, in company with the girl and two other per.
sons, vent to the house in the country designated
end found the body Of fuligrown infant buried in
the cellar as described, about Is inches below the
surface of the ground. The occupants of the house
highly respectable family, were Mortified at thu
disclosure though their suspicious had been excited
in regard to something of the kind transporting at thu
time the girl says she gave birth to the child, Al
she was then uhaccountably indisposed, having hat
asevere fstntng spellin her room, &C., all of which
however, she attributed to profuse bleeding of tn
nose The name Of the girl is Betsey Connolly. ant
she says she is 20 years of age. Whether she i
guilty Of the horrible grippe of nfanticide is know
only to herself and to that Omniscient Being VIII

bered the importance of having other
clothing for him and Sue than the gar

purse and the cakes, went to see if he
could procure Sues Sunday clothes with
out being observed But The door of the
cabin she had been accustomed to sleep
in was fastened on the inside
Well, said Ben, Nanny, you must

Nelly's best dress was therefore soon
added 10 the bundle. AS she handed it
TO her son she began to sob. "Oh nv
chile said she, Il fraid I neber see
YOU gain. May our Fader in Hebben

Ben threw his arms around his mothers
neck, and Frank, his father, placed his
around them both. O, that all the slave

Ben brought in large empty box from
the yard, which he had observed while a,

to one of those in the parlor. He soon
priad open the lid of the largest of the
packed boxes, and with Sues aid trans
ferred the contents to the other, upon
which, to avoid making a noise, he screw

By means of his screws he fixed two or
three pickets, which he had ripped off
The fence, in such way on the inside of
the lid, that by getting into the box he
could fasten it down tightly, and yet
readily open it when necessary. He
bored several gimlet holes in different
