Susficiaus Circnmstance.-Last week, a
man, intliiferently- dressed, called at the
house Of a respectable farmer, few miles
from Doylestown, and it being near noon,
asked to be accommodated with dinner. 1t
was accordingly prepared by the females of
the house, and just as the stranger sat down,
the farmer himself came in. He took up a
number Of the Patriot which contained the
account of the murder Of Miss Cunningham
and description Of the murderer, and com
menccd reading the article aloud to his fam
lily. No sooner had the stranger discovered
what he was reading, than he jumped up
from the table, at which he had not eaten
three mouthfuls, threw down four times the
value of a meal, and instantly left the house.
Some surprise was excited by this sudden
movement, but he was suffered to depart
unmolestetl, and is, no doubt, by this time far
out of reach of pursuit. Patriot.
