THE FUGITIVE SLAVE LAW.—A sad scene took
place on board one of the boats on the Erie Canal. A
woman, and child were on board the boat, endeavouring"'
eac ipe to Canada. The erew of the boat in which they wereto
learned that they were fugitives, and immediately devised a
plan to trouble and terrify them, probably thereby finding
amasement. On Monday night some of the human fiends,
in prosecution of their plans, went to the berth of the man
Harris, and, awaking him, informed him that his master
was on board the boat, and that they would surrender him
and family into his hands. Harris drew a dirk, with which he
was armed for self-defence, drove the scoundrels on deck, and
by his decisive manner and actions kept them at bay until
morning. In the morning he was informed that his master
had left the boat, and gone on to Syracuse, but would there
meet him on the arrival of the boat. On Tuesday evening,
about five o'clock, the boat came to a stopping-place at the
