Awful annunciation.—We look with no small curiosity to the horrible disclosure foretold in the following article from a Providence paper. The imagination can hardly conceive any thing which can exceed in atrocity, the strength of the terms employed to describe the undefined crime.
From the Providence (R. I.) Subaltern, July 10.
OMINOUS.
An affair occurred in this town, within a few days, which in all human probability will lead to a denouement, which will implicate individuals in one of the most outrageous and infamous conspiracies that ever disgraced the character of man. Individuals are said to be involved in it, who have heretofore been looked upon as men entitled to respect, confidence, and veneration. We throw out these "damnable innuendoes," not from a disposition to give rise to unnecessary gossip and curious speculations.—It is probable, that the lapse of a few days will bring things to light, and expose one of the blackest deeds that human depravity could conceive. For the credit of the character of the town, we hope that public expectation may not be realised.
"Thus bad begins and worse remains behind"
