Mr.. Jas. II. Leonard claims to have
ibeen on the boat at the time. and the
|only one saved that lived here His
report Of the disaster was incorrect,in as
|much as he states his wife was on the
boat, but it is thought he was out of his
right mind, owing to his sufferings. What
ever he stated, it may be relied on, he
thought was so. He has lived here many
years and hundreds of our citizens testify
| that they would believe his word as
quick as his oath. He is a member of
the Methodist Church at this place and
Hives up to his professions During the
war he was soldier of the brave old 5th

The story of his escapes from death told
Joy his comrades is truly wonderful. The
case at present, is involved in mystery.
but we hope it will soon be cleared up.
