Probable Murder
Yesterday morning some parties found the body of one Simon MITCHENOR, colored, lying under the large wheel at Johnson & Barbour’s mill near Auburn, in St. Mary’s township, with a large gash across his throat, and it is supposed that he had been murdered.
He was at the election at Auburn yesterday and voted and left there late in the afternoon, accompanied by two colored men. Just before dark his nephew and another colored boy found his umbrella on a bridge near the place where his body was found this morning.
He was 47 years old, and was very quiet, industrious and inoffensive. The Coroner was notified, and has gone out to investigate the case.

DIED – In this City, on Saturday the 23rd instant, Jere. Nichols, son of Jeremiah and Elizabeth NIXON, aged 2 years, 9 months and 19 days.
“Gone from the hearts that loved him,
Gone from his home away –
Gone in his childish beauty,
Like flowers in May.
Gone like the moonlight’s glimmer
From off the rippling stream;
Gone like the joyous pictures
Of childhood’s glowing dream.
He dwelleth now and kneeleth
Beside the throne of God,
In praise to Him who raiseth
The spriti from the sod.”
MARRIED — In Camden county, on Wednesday the 20th July, Mr. Edwin POOL, of Nixonton, Pasquotank county, to Mrs. Bathenia LONG, of Raleigh, North Carolina.
