There is some excitement in Ar.
buckle over the finding of some IN.
known man, hanging on a tree
near Concord Church. There is no
doubt in my mind that man was a
foot pedler, and that he has been
hanging there for some months.
On the 10Th day Of last May, saw
a foot pedler at Mr.. Isaac Longs
about noon, and 10 the evening Of
the same day, l passed the same
man in Mrs. s. L. Vaught's lane,
vending his way up the road to.
wards Five Mile, the description Of
that man. He was about five feet,
eight or ten inches high, with rath
er red complexion, sandy beard and
hair; and l took him TO be Irish.
He was very laxative. l again
passed the Concord Church on the
9th day Of August, aud as l as.
cended the top Of the hill at the
Church, l was struck with a terri.

Of the farm Of John R. Couch, Esq,
No doubt II was from the man
found there. No one knows how
long be had been hanging there
and my opinion is, it is the same
man, aud be was killed for robbery,
and then hung there to make it
appear a case Of suicide.

Why didn't the correspondent

who have steadily, persistenLly and
stubbornly refused to give, lease or
