The fate of Mr. Carr, the unfortunate superinten- 
dent of the model farm, has never yet been confirmed 
by further particulars; the general impression is, that 
he was murdered by some of King Boy’s people, and 
that the chief himself was cognizant of the circum- 
stances, if not actually an approver of the deed. The 
African Association, in whose service he was em- 
ployed, thinking there might yet be a prospect of 
his being alive and in captivity, generously offered a 
reward of two thousand dollars for his recovery ; but 
hitherto nothing has been elicited to confirm their 
hopes.
