A TT bbert Bo's Ex erience in The West DECATUR, Ill., July 80, 1881. a' MR. EDITOR,—SIR.—When I pronnisel tcb write to your paper I did not think it would be so long before I could find a sure moment to write. I left Dublin station on the m rning of they 27th of last December to try and as t'he e dish - which (make a fortune in the "Far West,' or, clues- I I took Horace Greely'a advice, 'GO west, young man, go west."

Dufarge had sent the porters home before, telling them he would re- main until the watchman came, but rr • • w is a h (if it ever gets into print) as full, and as correct an account of the western copn- ,try as 'possible, without any exagger- ations either one way or another. When I landed iu Topeka, Kansas, f en the 29th of December, I found it a 1- , great deal colder than it was in Canada - I when ,I left, the thermometer was e ; standing at from 28 to 30 degrees below d f zero for nearly a week after I got there. g its .

I chose theormer. My experience was far from being pleasant, - "How deep should corn ire plan It is a fair answer to say just enough so that the seed can readily sorb moisture- from the earth, rec heat from the sun, and uncut n less expenditure of vital orce, pus spire up Into full daylig t.

A search j7 of the store from cellar to roof failed to discover him. In brief he had vanished and left no sign. The skipper who had lunched with a him was arrested on suspicion of having h iqs had a hand in his disappearance, but there was absolutely no proof against him, and he was released. Porters, watchmen and house servants were equally exonerated. No clue to the missing man or the reasons of his ab- sence could be made out. In the course of a . month or so a lawyer from New Orleans arrived. in Norfolk and claimed the estate of the missing man for his nephew and heir. In the meantime it had been discovered that Dufarge and his two servants had not been the only tenants of the old house by the river. The hunchback had had a mistress, a handsome Louis - aria quadroon, who was his slave. How tie had got her to Norfolk without dis- covery by the gossips of the little city, where every. one knows everybody else's business, was never explained ; but she was there, living in lonely splendor, in his isolated home, and to all appearances inconsolible at his loss. When young Dufarge took possession of his uncle's estate through his lawyer, he lost no time in Belling it out. The absent man's mistress was put on the block with the old servants. The for Hier was purchased by a rollicking young idler of the city, who was squand- ering his paternal estate in fast living . of all sorts. Young Terrill took the quadroon home with him, and it was not long before town talk ascribed to his connec- tion with her the same intimacy that Dufarge had enjoyed. However this may have been she remained in his possession for a couple of years. Then , with his money gone and his credit ex- hausted, he found himself ruined and his property was seized by his cred- itors. The quadroon, Amelia, was held with the rest of the chattels. She exhibited a free paper which Terrill had given her, but it was found legally deficient and she was refused her liberty. Then she became violent and denounced Terrill, whom she believed to have wil- fully mislead her in giving her invalid manumission of the murder of Dufarge. ted dee a civ ee at bast to me, because at about two too biclook a couple of lawyers who were nob giig east on the 3 o'clock train got up, in di they got into an argument over c Hie case they had pending in the !Cr- lia1 Court. From words -they carie to aesi oyvs and from blows they got out their According to her story, Terril had first seen her in the garden of Dufarge's house, when on his way to the river on a shooting expedition. He had become enamored of her, and had offered to buy her from her master and lover, Dnfarge, when he found the secret of lua liaison discovered, had waxed furious and threatened to shoot his rival if he ever dared to follow up his conquest. Terrill had laughed at him, and continued to visit the secluded garden while its owner was absent. His infautation had grown on him as the amour continued, till determined to possess the object of it. On the evening of Dufarge's disappearance he . had encountered hien in front of his warehouse while he was locking it up. Both men were drunk. Hot words passed between them, and Terrall stab- bed the dwarf to death and oast his body into the dock near at hand, whence the swollen tide had carried it out to sea. He had taken advantage of his crime to purchase the cause of it, as we have seen. going to a party was precede On this charge Terrall was arrested, bearing a hand -box, and a lard i.n spite of his protestations of absolute if it were winter, when the darkness innocence.
