I have a paper in my possession, in his handwriting--it is in fact a list of the places destroyed by the mob last night--it fell into the hands of a friend of mine by accident--he gave it to me--it put me on my guard; and when the villains attacked my house last night they got rather a warmer reception than they bargained for." "You astonish me! Is it possible your place was assaulted also ?" asked Mr.
Balch.
"Indeed, it was--and a hot battle we had of it for a short space of time.
But how did you hear of this affair ?" "I was sent for by I can't tell whom.

When I came and saw what had happened, I immediately set about searching for a will that I made for Mr.
Garie a few weeks since; it was witnessed and signed at my office, and he brought it away with him.

I can't discover it anywhere.

I've ransacked every cranny.

It must have been carried off by some one.
