Note 26 — HUNTING A HOME IN BRAZIL. (continued 6)

As a matter of history, the following paragraph of a correspondent from this place, of September 18, 1865, to the Diario de São Paulo, is translated, though I hear of no other instance of the kind in this or any other part of the province.

Within little more than one month there has occurred in this section seven assassinations of Christian people, namely: those of Sonsa, his son and son-in-law, by the Indians of São Domingos, that of Filisbino, according to report, by his native slave Silverio, on the Rio Novo; those of Francisco Bernardo, and Leopoldina Cordoso Martines, in the same region, and that of Salvador José Leite, on the small river Das Pedras.
