smeared with blood and dirt. They next er.
tere'd their late peaceful mansioH,, and, horrid
to relate , there discovered their two other
darlings prostrate on the floor, near each o
tlier, almost covered with clotted blood and
. apparently lifeless ; this was too much for
human nature, they retired in agonies inde
scribable ; even the neighbours stood appalled
with horror, and. it was some lime before any
could prevail on themselves to place their
bodies on the bed. Signs of life being disco
vered, every aid which art could give were
sought for, and obtained with the utmost ce
lerity The lives of the two youngest are
despaired of, the eldest,' it ishoped, m;y re
cover, being reserved perhaps by Providence
for some special purpose. . ,
The name of the perpetrator of this abomi
nable atrocity, is Martin, he was known by
thti eldest child, she having for some time
past been at the same school with him. l or
i the cause of humanity it is hoped testimony
sufficient to brin; the perpetrutor of this un
heard 'if enormity to. condign punishment
may be obtained.
When the foregoing communication was
forwarded to the editor hereqf, Martin was
in., custody," had been examined before two
magistrates and ordered to prison, but made
his escape from the persons in whose custo
dy he was, on the night of the l5tli instant.
A person answering the description of the
above Isaiah Martin, . was apprehended in
Baltimore, and examined before Judge Dor-"
sey. He acknowledged tlut. he had beert
taken into custody and made his escape, but

he stands charged. He has been safely lod
