+ say much in bis d mach, rather not "he is not much liked ors?" % well gay that, Ever 8 po Milford y 7 nobudy 8 to him.' He attacked the late Mr Milford, Yes, sir, 8 most unprovoked assult, It seems that Mr Milford offended this man in some way, and one day there, was a sale in town, and Mr Miltord and Dorse; both bid for the same article. It was knocked down to the former, and it was after the sale tbat the assult was commmitted.' «Was Dorsey prosecuted for it?' + Yes he was imprisoned for a year and had to pay a heavy fine.' I learned all I wanted to know, and changed the conversation. I made enquiries as to the exact spot where the witness of the will lived. I learned that it was across the river on a small island, the whole of which he owned. 1 procured a small boat and rowed directly across--the river was not very broad. I then skirted along the shore until I came to a landing place. After I had proceeded a quarter of a mile I reached a spot where the marks of horses' feet were plainly to be traced on the gnow. It was evident that horses had been «mbarked at this point on a boat or raft ;and had been conveyed to the other side at the point fiom which I had started. 1 made my boat fast and looked about me. I found that the island was small, and so thickly studded with green trees that I could see but very little in advance of me. Tak- _ ing, however, the horses' hoofs for my guide I came upon un old dilap- idated stone building which bad evi dently been built long anterior to the Revolution. It seemed to be eu: tively unoccupied for the shutters were closed, 'and thick grass and weeds grew in profusion. [ walked all round the house but could not see a living soul visible, but I was re- warded with a sight that made my blood tingle in my veins, for it cerved to substantiate my theory with respect to clearing up the mys- tery, and this sight was nothing less than the impression of a club foot may times repeated, near the tront entrance of the house, thus showing conclusively that Mr. Oliver Milford was 4 frequent visitor at Mr. Dor- sey's. 1 rung the bell and received no answer, I opened the door, which was unfastened. It was evident that Mr Dorsey lived by himself, for there was only one room furnished, and that but meagerly. The first thing that I noticed was a candle and a box of lucifer matches on the table in the room. Although it was daylight I lighted the candle and begun to explore the house, I first of all examined the upper portion of it, but found nothing. 1 then examined the ground flogr with the same success, I did not feel discouraged, for I felt almost satisfied fiom the fact of the candle being there that such would be the result, 1 next proceeded to examine the cellar, and 1 had. not descended half a dozen steps befoe I heard a faint groan. I rushed for- wind, and entered a spacious vault. In the corner of this damp, dark and dismal dun- geon, reclining on a heap of straw, with menacles on his wrists and ankles, I saw an old men whom 1 was sat sfied ®as Mr, Herbert Milford 1 held the candle over his head and saw that he was sleeping. At that moment { heard the sound of footsteps behind me, and turning around saw that it was Mr. Oliver Milford advancing towards me with the ferocity of a tiger. A terrible #t u gle ensued, but I was the younger man of wie two, and finally succeeded in over powering him, and fixing the menacles on his wrists and feet. The poor old gentleman was conveyed back to bis residence, and was gratified with his daughter's presence, Young Waring was immediately released from confinement. I may add that in a month or two Eliza Milford and Henry Waring were married. -- Oliver Milford died after four years coufine- ment in the State prison, where he had been condemned for life. Dorsey escaped. By gome means he learned that his victim had been discovered, and at once started for New York. I need scarcely add that it was Dor- -g2y and Oliver Milford who bad made the attack on Waring, and placed the watchand purse of their prisoner in his pocket, for the purpose of causing him to be suspected of baving murdered the old gentleman. 3 cere RECIPES.
