case are as follows::s He came 'hcre on
Saturday week, and at first appeared very
unsettled, and told some Of his actquain.
tances that this would be the last time
they would meet--they had better shake
hands. The week passed on till Saturday
morning, when he was noticed going into
field, where some boys were burning
brush, and sat down on { the burning pile
till his clothes were all burned off him
The boys gave the alarm, WI en- two of Mr.
Robert Marshall's sons came and dragged
him of, but he still persisted in going on;
They tried to take him off the second time
but he'threatened them, when one ran 70,
assistanceto Mr. Martin, who, with some
others, got him of, But, he still wanted te
