occAurSreL(AlVEin STORY.—TheMis
sissiilp following
i,
under
theexsitarvaeofidaiwnarayf
thatcase
state :—A planter was afflicted by a loathsome disease.
So offensive were the ulcers, that he was deserted by his
white friends ; and while thus afflicted and forsaken, a
girl whom he owned as a slave kindly and patiently
waited upon him, dressed his ulcers, cleansed his person,
and watched over him until he finally recovered. With
gratitude and affection to his benefactress, he took her to
Cincinatti, Ohio, executed to her a deed of manumission,
had it recorded, returned to Mississippi, and then mar-
ried her in legal form. They lived together affectionately
for many years, reared a family of children, and, as he
lay upon his deathbed, by will he divided his property
between his wife and children. His brother hearing of
his death, came forward and demanded his property.
The widow and children were indignant at the demand.
They, too, were seized ' • and the validity of that marriage
was tried before JudgeSharkley, of that State, who de-
cided that the whole matter was a fraud upon the law of
slavery—that the property belonged to the collateral
heirs. His widow was sold by the surviving brothers,
the children were sold off at private auction, and both
mother and children now toil in chains or sleep in servile
graves.
FATAL LANDSLIP AT WEST HARTLEPOOL.—On Thurs-
day last an extensive landslip took place at the new
dock works, West Hartlenool, whereby two labourers
lost their lives, and a third was seriously maimed. The
soil is of a soft and mossy character, and the cutting hav-
ing been carried to a depth of about 17 feet, the utmost
watchfulness had been used b e the workmen to avoid
being under the face of it at cr;tical periods. On this oc-
casion two watchers were em ployed, while two men, Ed wd .
Burns and Thos. Jones, were throwing the "slack" (or
loose earth) into a waggon ; and so suddenly did the acci-
dent occur that no sufficient warning was given to admit
of a possibility of escape. The men working at some 50
feet from the spot saw the ma,s move, and called out to
warn their comrades, but in another moment the latter
were buried under several tons of earth. Every exer-
tion was immediately made for the recovery—the entire
force of the labourers employed in assisting the work,
In three minutes they succeeded in recovering Thomas
Jones, who was suffering fearfully from the injuries he
received, and died almost instantly on his being raised
from the earth ; but seven minutes further had elapsed
before Burns was extricated, when he was, of course,
quite dead. The sufferings of Jones roust have been
intense, as his head was only partially covered, while
his body was buried under an immense load.—Sunder-
land New.

A ROBBER AMONG THE DEAD.—We are informed
.that,
after the crashing of the cars on the. Baltimore and Sus
quehanna Railroad,. on the evening of the 4th inst.,
while the dead were lying around, and the wounded were
groaning under their injuries, some demon in human
form got into one of the cars and wrested a gold watch
and chain, and a pocketbook containing $lO5, from Mr.
Maddison Jeffers, who was
prostrated by the breaking
of both his legs, and unable to offer effective resistance.
He escaped with his booty.—Baltimore Clipper.
