Styles, chemist, for the payment of
eight shillings, for goods had by wo-
man representing herself as being in
Mr.. Styles service, which he refused to
pay, on the ground that the woman had
left his service some time past, and con-
sequently the goods were not had for
him. The Court, however, decided
in favour ofthe grocer, on the principle,
that person s.nding servant to
shop for goods, from time TO time, and
paying one bill, is bound, on that SER

bis tradesmen not TO let her have more
goods on his account. If he does not
do this, he is liable for any account she
may ron up in his name, at shops she
had been accustomed to fetch goods from
for his use, while shewas in his service.

CURED a knowledge OF the English Ian
guage. His master being plous man,
he was instructed in the principles of the
Christian religion, which he received
with great pleasure and he seemed 10
see new beauties of the plan of the Gcs-
pei, which had never appeared TO him
In the Koran; for he had been reared
and Instructed in the Mahomedan relig-
ION, aud it was found that the scraps of
writing from his pen we're mostly pas
s"ges from the Koran. 1t would seem
that he was prince in his own country,
which must have been far ia the interi-
or OF Atrica-perhaps Tombuc;oo or It's
neighbourhood. At all events, his inter-
course with the Arabs had enabled him
to write and speak their language with
the most perfect ease. Some of the AT
ricans pretend to say he was what they
call "pray-God to the King y by
which may be understood, priest or
learned man, who offered up prayers for
the King of his nation, and was of bis
household. His digni6ed department
showed him TO be of a superior cast
his humility that of a peaceful subject,
not despot. In his person he is we'll
formed, of middle size, small hands and
feet, and erect in his department. His
complexion, and hair, as well as the form
of the head, are distinctly of the African
character Some years since, he united
himself to the Presbyterian church in
Fayetteville, of which he continues an
orderly and respectable member. A
gentleman who felt strong interest for
the good Prince Moro, as he is called,
sent to the British Bible Society, and pro-
cured for him an Arabic Bible; so that
he now reads the Scriptures in his ma
tive language, and blesses Him who
causes good 10 come out of evil, by max
ing him a slave. His good master has
offered to send him to his native land,
his home, and his friends but he says
Wo,-this is my home and here are my
friends, and here is my Bible; enjoy all
want in this world If should return
to my native land, the fortune of war
might transport me to country where

PRINCE MORO.

The following paper" says the Christian
Advocate, was putinto our hands by friend,
who received it from friend in Fayetteville
an North Carolina, by whom it was drawn up"
Such cases we believe are not uncommon.
We have heard of several instances of learned
Nlahomedans among the slaves in the south
ern States, who were probably either princes
or priests in their native country.
About the year 1903, South CARROLL
ma rice planter purchased and sent to his
plantation gang of slaves, among whom
was.a man of a slender frame and deli
cate constitution, who was not able to la
bour in the field, or had not the disposi-
ton to do so. His health failing, he
was considered of no value, and disre-
garded. At length he strolled off, and
wandering from plantation TO plantation,
reached Fayetteville, was taken up as a
runaway and put in Jail, where he re-
manned for some time. As no one claim
ed him, and he appeared of no value,
the Jail was thrown open, that he might
run away but he had nc disposition to
make his escape. The boys amused
themselves with his good natured playful
behaviour, and fitted up temporary
desk made of a -four barrel, on which he
wrote 10 mastery hand, writing from
righ, . left, in what was to them an un-
known language. He was also noticed
by some gentlemen of the place but
bis keeper grew tired of so useless a
charge, and he was publicly sold for his
jail dues. His purchaser, gentleman
living about 80 miles from Fayetteville,
finding him rather of a slender make,
took him into his family as house SER
want. Here he soon became favomite
Of the inmates Of the house, particularly
Of the children. His good conduct in a
