Mr. Printer,
BEING not long since in dne'Ofthe
leathern states, and pafing a
plantation, I saw fom^hing very (ia
gular, which had drawn together a
number of people who were palling
that way. As I drew near, I found
it to be a large cage, made of bars of
wood (landing at a small distance from
the ground, and in the cage was a
negro woman. The wetich was wet
—cold, sick add starved; besides the
wasioiulted by every body that flood
round her—and even those who at a
distance pitied her, dare dot fapply
her with food or raiment, because it
was disreputable; and th^y were a
fraid of her naffer. One who flood

one of my beg negroes; but taking
it into his head to ride one of my
horses rather than walk a mile or so,
he fell off and broke his arm, and I
sent him to goal with the bone (lick
ing through the (kin; neither would
I fuffer any person from that day to
.this to fee it. I observed to him,that
he would loose the fellow's labour for
life, if he did not set the bone, or let
some body else do it. D n the
rascal, fays hr, he would not work
