Extract of a letter trom a gentleman in S. Ring (ton, H. I. dated J in. a, to his bio ther, an ofh. ei in fort Trumbull. M I have to inform ycu of one of the molt horrid murders which the annals ot mankind afford. It appears by the evidence betore the jury of inqu tt ..nd thr court of inquiry, that on the morning oi the 27th l)c vVn. C. Brown, ton of IMcg Brown, called on a little girl who lived with him, who was between 4 and 5 vears of awe to read her alphabet that the read It tlno' the fii!l :ime pretty coriedtly, and that Brown then ordered her to lead it over ag&itt, whu h the did as far tz the letter P, which Hie ci'uld not or would not fpeak ; Upon w hie h he went out and cut two elder Riik, which he whipt her with until they were tfofit for his horrid purpofe that he th n to. k Click djtinu tor a car.ulc rod, nh;ch be alfo beat her with till wor; up, or nf fo, Sc that kfter tins . large tiick w as put into his hai.-ds by bis wife which he beat her with dill Ion .rcr thac in tfie intervals of whipping her. and after he h-id Ot tilted, he held hrr i.ak-d body to the fiie,abd literally ro-tfted her io that thr Ikin on hrr back was rotfnd erdpei by tb juiy, and (what io itill more horrid if p -iii dc) he held her ear in his teeth for a Whole hottr, which he chewed cc lacerated to pircer. The jury found a verdict oi murder againlt Brown, who is committed to jail in this town to await his trial in April. I heard t'ne conh Thm of the monfter read. The wrench foiu be ws not angry. He attributed the death of the child to the burning, faying the flic was hotter than he fuppofed, but offered no extufe or palliation tor t'ne whipping.It is very furprtCng th -t Brown's Wife, and one Bker and his wife (i young couple lately marred) were ll th- time in ttir room, ar.d never made my attempt torrfiue the child.
