The Bolton Democrat says 1--WE I'M
derstand that several abolitionists have
hung in Northern Texas-the object being
not to spread such facts until they secure

Sunday night about o'clock. No clue
had been discovered to the perpetrators Of
the deed"

&c, has been great, but fortunately no re-
port of loss of life has reached us.

posed to the full fury of the gale, for the
