The SUDDEN DEATH IN RoCKETTs.-At
the instance of the coroner, DR.. St.
George Tucker made post mortem exami-
nation of the body of Samuel Spencer,
deceased. He found that the spleen was
ruptured, but whether from blow or
fall, he was unable to determine and that
death was probably caused by internal
hemorrhage from the ruptured organ.
There were injuries on the left side Of the
body in the region of the spleen, and also
decided enlargement of the heart, be-
sides traces of chronic pleurisy, resulting
from natural causes.
The coroner's jury adjourned until
Monday next at P. NJ, when other wit
nesses will be examined.

HoRRIBLE CRIMES oE.A NEGRO GIRL.
SIZE SETS FIRE TO Il HOUSE AND AZ
TEMPTS TO BURN a WHITE LNF4NT.

Our readers will recollect that on Sun.
day night last the residence OF Mr. Richard
W. Magruder, at Fulton Hill, was fred by
an incendiary and burned to the ground
At the time, we were informed that negro
girl in Mr.. Magruder's employ was sus-
pected of the crime, but purposely re-
Trained from stating the fact. We now
learn that the girl was arrested on Monday
and carried before magistrate, when the
most conclusive proof of her guilt was
elected.
She had lived in the family for only two
weeks, but bad been detected in stealing.
It is supposed that she had been repeating
the offence on Sunday, and burned the
house in an insane attempt to cover up
the minor crime. But her villainy was
not satiated with arson. While the house
was on fire servant, carrying crockery to
the second story of the kitchen as place
Of safety, saw suspicious looking bundle
on the bed. Unwrapping it, to her horror
she found the infant child of Mr.. Msgruder
wrapped in light clothing beneath it was
q pile of shavings, to which the torch had
already been applied. In few moments
more the baby would have been burned to
crisp. Happily, it was saved from death
so horrible.
If the facts are as stated, no punishment
can be too severe for the vile wretch who
is accused of committing these crimes.
We hear with pleasure that she has been
sent on for Indictment, and now lies in the
county Jail.

The Grave Of Braddook.

Among the many things which time has
brought to light IS the answer to the oft-re-
peated query, .Wbo killed Braddock T'--
During that memorable retreat Of the British
aud Provincial troops, Braddock ordered that
his men should not protect themselves behind
trees. One Joseph Fausett presumed to
disobey this order, when Braddock. IN a
passion, struck him down with his sword
Tom. Fausett, who was but short distance
from his brofher, saw the whole transactions.
and Immediately shot the General through
the lungs. The Hon. 4. Stewart Of Union
town, Pa, says his father often head Fausett
acknowledge this After Braeds ok fell. his
body was carried by the troops for four days,
when he expired He was inferred 10 the
middle uf the road. so tnat al of the sOldIers-
WAGONS, and horses might pass over aud
obliterats all vestiges of his grave from the
eyes OF the sasages. About twenty nine
years ago some laborers. who Wsre repairing
the road. came upon she remains. aud after
taking number of the most prominent bones
reinterred the others. Some time afterwards
the scattered bones were collected and sent
to Peale's Museum, which, was in Philadeipii.a
at that time Braddock's grave IS IN tayetle
county, Penn, aud is marked by pau
sbinoie nailed to a tree. where part OF the
bones are inferred. This is the only monument
which serves to point out to the traveller 'hs
last resting place Of the proud and brave, Dut
unfortunate victim of Indian warfaEo.
