heard the cries and fastened TO the barn but
could find neither Mr.. nor Mrs. F., she having
gone TO neighbours house IN another direction
when she told the story substantially as above

OF Mrs. p. her head and face were found much
bruised, and there was evident marks of a rome

being broken near the ear.
MT. Pennelt claims that she coaxed him To

swimming in the rope, and he took her down,

there. A little girl five or six years old, was
