subjecting you to suspicion aud annoyance;
and l need not say toyou how grateful to the
ytarnings OF my heart is this long suspen-

performance Of my duty has called down

attach TO you aud your family and operate
to your injury.
Indeed, have no doubt but that the
prejudice against me was secret of the
barbarous and malignant persecution of

Of age, the daughter ola colored man named
Elijah Oliver living near Bel Air, was burned to
death on Tuesday last. 1t appears that the child
had been left in charge OF its grandmother, who
had occasion to leave the house for few mo-

ed, accidentally fell into the Fireplace, and before
1t could be rescued, its clothing took fire, burn
ing the child SO severely that it died in about
half an hour.
