On Thurfday the 6ih of May, they contracted with thofe gentle¬ men for employment as laborers on the turnpikeVoad, at which they continued until Saturday evening following.

Under thefe circumdances they were committed to the Baltimore jail, whete thty remained until the late fcflion of the -Alleghany Court, to which county they were removed for trial. Unwilling, how ever, to betiied there, they rtqueded a further removal to this county, wh re, af¬ ter a fair, patient, and impartial trial they were feverally found guilty of murder of the f.rst degree. Yellerday the Hon. John Buchanan pro¬ nounced, in a (oletttn and imptcluve man¬ ner, the following SENTENCE; William Cotterill. jun. And John Cotteiill : Yuu ha^e been tried according to the laws of the country, and, on a lull and reluctance to through the dark cloud of guilt by which] you arc furrounded, unlefs it can be per- ; cefved in the unnatural couufcU of your father ;—and you are doomed to make attornment with your lives. William Cotterill, sen. I turn with painful your cafe. You have been found guilty of the (hocking and unnatural crime of counsel¬ ling and inciting your own fons to the perpetration of a motl horrid murder! for which they mult foon be brought to an Ignominious and untimely end ; and wfliered into the dread pretence ofa judly offended and avenging God. You, who Ihould have watched over, and guarded the moral* of your Ions, and indructcd them in the paths of virtue, have feduced them to the commiffion of the blacked crime. You, who Ihould have been their pro¬ tector and their guide, have ur0ed them to their deilrudtion. On the cou'iicls of a father, hangs the deiiini of his funs. And, in the prefent melancholy and diftnffing inftauce, your unnatural counfels have been but too faith¬ fully, too fatally purfued. 1 forbear to urge the painful CubjeS farther. The foul deed is done; the blood of the murdered cries aloud for juilice ; the offended majr-fty of the law mud be appealed, and you mull anfwci it to your God. The judgment of the court therefore is, (ai'd I deeply regret that I am imperious iy called upon, by the outraged laws of the country, to pronounce Inch a judgment.) Your iVnteuce is, that you all be taken to the jail of WafhingEou county, from whence you came, ami from thence to the place of execution, at inch time ?■* fha'l be duly appointed, arid that each of ynu be there hanged by the neck, until you are dead. Having discharged the duty impofed on me by law, I now owe it to my ouu feelings, and it is due to you, to allure you of my fettled conviction, that not a ray of hope is left you on this fide the grave— and lolemnly to warn, and culrr.it you, earnedly and diligently to employ I1 e fnall remnant of your lives UV preparation (by prayer and fupplication to the Throne of Grace) for the awful moment which will fcparate you from this world, and all mercy, in compaflion to your louta, incline your hearts to that date of devotion neces- laiy to youi entrance Into a nother and a Letter v/oild.

A large fierce dog, of the northern breed, was put in the cage for his food, and the gentlemen who were prefent were much furprifed at obfrrvintr the dog, infteadof being alarmed at the terrific animal, immediately rufli forward and le zed him by the vofe, aad it was a confiderable time befote the tiger could difeugage himfelf After having been kept for fome days to gratify the curiolity of the natives, a gentleman of known celebrity in tl e fportin^ worl , ut an end to his exiil' nee by (1 Oolii g him with a rifle through the forehead : the ball was afurwa'da extracted, and was com¬ pletely flittcntd, which fliowe the extreme hardneU of the (lculls <»f thefe deft motive animals.
