The inn wai in itsclfa somewhat rude and uninviting affair, nut! was but little frequenteil by the neighboring people. One reason of this circumstanco was found in the fact, that the proprietor was nn ignorant, sullen, evil-minded sort of a man ; and another consisted in the living reports which had been going the rounds against both tho inn and its owner. .V number of travellers had lately disappeared, and general suspicion had charged the surly landlord of the " Bog inn" with having had an agency in their disappearance.

All unsuspicious of the design against bint, our friend bad retired at an early hour. The bed wns nonr- i>f tl><? ? "t,u "I' pointments of the chamber at all calculated i to occasion luxurious drenms ; but the fatigue | lie had undergone served as u somnorilic and he was noon in a sound sleep. I How long he remained thus unconscious, j Mr. Gordon had no power of declaring, hut J ho was finally awakened by a stunning blow i on the forehead. He mad'! an effort to save ' hini.-olf, as he started up with an exclamation j of alarm, but ere he could fully rise from his rude couch, another heavy blow rendered him | insensible to all things around liini. The two i assassins, husband and wife, then plundered ' their victim, and attached a largo stone to his feet, and bore him away to the marsh, j where they plunged him into the black and t muddy pool of earth and water, looking tri' umnhantlv at each otlmr n? ivntu .1;^.,.-. , peared.

Hut the weight had slipped from the feet | of young tlordon, and hence he speedily j arose to the surface of the marsh, owing to I its consistency, it was almost as thick a* pudding. The cold plunge hud also instantly restored him to consciousness, as he had been i severely injured. The result of all these fa1 vorable circumstances was that (ho'don made ; his way to terra drum and followed the assassins hack to their cottage. arriving there almost as soon as they did. and placing him' self in concealmeiit beneath the window, where they immediately commenced talking over their crimes, especially the last one. i l>y this very ju*tillal>!o caves dropping. nnr . traveler learned how uttiny person* these wretches had destroyed, what they hud done with (lie money, and ail tlio most important j secrets of their career. lie listened until | they had retired for the night. and then made his way to the nearest magistrate to whom he revealed all he knew.
