The man who resembled Hamilton in

drowned and identified as patient of

the body was unrecognizable from
having been SO long in the water.

to seek employment at his own mill,

Mrs. Fry. a woman previously we'll
known to himself and wife, the re-
clp1ent, as she ayers, of many fayors
from himself and wife.
He saw his wife and children at
church. His wife was greatly moved
by his resemblance to her husband.
He. was, also, much excited by her
looks and those of his children, Per-
ley and Glare. He knows nothing Of
all this now, but I can prove it by the
testimony of Dan Fry and his mother.
From that time he began to watch her
house, his former home, one night
standing in a pouring rain until he
was drenched and made sick in con-
sequence. Altho he knew little of
music previously, he purchased vio-

a short time, but now he has returned
