And she did stay, taking quite

The least of these anxieties was the
fear that she would make regular

They fled, and were pursued and
five We're captured. A jury of twelve
of the best citizens was chosen,
and the negroes were allowed to
make their statements. The dis
patch says A.,
They stated that they iotandGl

A well-to-do resident of the village,

to saw some wood, three cords and
half in all, and promised to pay him
fifty cents day. Caleb owned no saw,
but rs the captain had good one, it
was agreed that Caleb should hire it,
and pay for the use Of it at the rate of
ninepence cord. At early dawn the
next morning-it was in July-Caleb
was at work. Those were the days of
wide tire-places, and each log needed to
be sawed but once. Before night he
had finished the job, and went into
Captain VS. house to settle.
Lets see," said the captain; "you
were to have fifty cents a day: we'll
call it q day, though it isn't shutdown
yet. That's fifty cents for you. And
you were to pay me ninepence cord
for the use Of Inc saw, there's forty
three and three-quarter cents due me.
