not more than $4,000 bales will the gov
ernment ever realize, and that will cost

The STAFFORD MURDER.-Rev. 7, y.
Stuart furnishes some interesting par
ticulurs respecting the murderer of Mr..
Stafford in Shelburne, % years ago. He
saws his name was Coates Barnes, and

for it; but instead Of the money he only
found one hundred dollar note OF hano
and but one quarter of dollar in mon
ey on the body of Mr.. Stafford.
