And sure enough' I saw it ; Irs red panta

his bleeding head ami body made the

before wes reached it. the body had been
removed fn a cart, and nothing remained
but some jblood and brains and a portion
itig near, and little chance beingdeft that
he would gain his' freedom, his family de
termined that the gibbet thnuld lose its
victim. They t therefore furnished him
with laudanum, which was either not ta
ken by him, or failed in its intended ef
fect. He was afterward visited by one
of the family, who put into his hands a
knife of peculiar construction, fa pattern
of which we have seen,) such as are car
ried by the assassins of that portion of
country, with an injunction to use it on
himself ami the whole family have been
seen or.- iheir knees at prayers, invoking
tjod that he might not die a coward.
A short time previous tottie 4lay on
which he was ordered -to be hanged, he
made two attempts on his left breast with
the instrument given him, but his cour
age failed. He was goaded on to the., fa
tal deed by his brother, and he plunged
it. between his ribs seven incites in depth,
perforating his heart. This knife, cov
eretl with 1 1 i blood, is now held by his
familv as a hophy of honor. The bodv
was delivered up to the family, taken
home, and bit t ied with military honors.
To show the utter reik'essness of this
horrible crew, thev have sworn that the
Governor who refused to pardon him, the
Jailor who coi fined, ami the Judge who
sentenced him, shall die by their hands ;
and even the sister declares that if these
deeds are ddaved, she will train her lit
tle b-ys 'ip for. the purpose of putting
them o death. This fiendish woman had
armed herself for the purpose of assassin
ating her brother ou the w ay to execution,
had he failed himself to perform the deed.
But the whole of the shtiy is not told.
The family, immediately tin hearing the
death of the young man. employed a gen
tleman of this city to take a cast of his
face in cement, and procure a bust to be
made from it. The cast was taken while
the body was yet warm, and a young man
who accompanied lit tn executed the bust,
which was considered an admirable like
ness, for which thev agreed to- pay him a
hundred and ten dollars. After repeated
applications for the money, which was not
paid, the family haying returned home, 'ue
left the city, repaired to their residence,
and demanded the amount promised him.
I he elder brother bade him ape off. or he
would kilt him, ami drew his knife, but
hi purpose was pi evented by the inter
position of his mother. The young man
mounted his horse, ami was returning to
NeW'Or'eans. but was, intercepted next
evening on the road by two of the Whita
kers, painted and disguised. They first
insulted him by asking him who he was.
whence he came, &c. ; but he, knowing
their object, drew-a pisiol, and sluit one
of them dead on the spot, lie" fled, soon
after abandoned his h.re, ami took to the

which, we give below, have never been
published, probably for the substantial
reason, that the lives of the editors of that
city, had they published them, might have
been the forfeit.
The. Whitaker family,; noted despera
does, reside at a considerable distance
from New-Orleans, on the Mississippi,
and are the terror of that part of the
country. Young Whifaker, the convict
and suicide, is said to have been obnoxi

count t his timidity although he had
committed at least one murder previous
to that of which he had been convicted.
The latter was perpetrated In a bar room.

He was arres'ed, friedi' convicfed and
sentenced to death. The family, consist
ing of the father, mother, two brothers
and a sisfer, reprtbeil fo New (Mean
with the determination of effecting his
escue, or putting him to death with their
own hands. Our informant states that the
elder brother toldlhinv that he had pan

that he gladdens this year, ,, may not 'be
again cheered by his presencelor many
coming seasons. We have an excellent
anecdote to tell of a pair of these inter
esting birds. , It is related to u. if not
by an eye witness, by one who received
ii from an undoubted source. These
birds,' as do ncaily ail the birds of thi
latitude, take their departure hence for
warmer skies. Several year since.
large number of them had their nets built 1
upon a barn in the south part of Deersfield. !
At the usual peno l their northern dwel
lings were abandoned, and the tribe took
its flight for the tropics."
Alter a time a solitary individual was
observed lingering among the forsaken
labi'.atinn. Various conjecttnes were
started to accouut for his tarrying It
might be, that he had not streg'h enough
for so distant an expedition, or he might
have been ' incidentally left behind in the
general temigralion, and feared to encoun
ter the pei its of the journey alone. The
autumn passed away, and still that soli
tary stranger remained, braving the frosts
a ni I the pehing.of the storms of winter.
Spring came and yet-he was there. An
occurrence so singular and contrary -to
the habits of the emigrating tribes, caused
his motions to be watched with more at
tention. At length another head was ob

of the bird which had beep -marked with
so much --interest. On examining the nest
the mystery was beautifully solved. A
holder swallow was found there a prison

by a thread or a horse hair, which had
iieeh used in the lining of the nest, am
