Od to his existance, by hanging! He had been missed nine or ten days, and when dis covered, his body was found suspended from beam in an unoccupicd house. belonging to MT. Pounds. It is supposed that he climbed to the top of the beam, aud, after adjusting each end Ofthe rope. let himself down there from. His hands were found tied before him in such manner as tO have prevented the possibility of his extricating himself, had he wished to do so, after making the fatal plunge.

She was about thirty years old. was a favorte servant in MT. Pounds family, in which she had'been raised from infancy, and had always been treated with great kindness.
