Litchfield enquirer., 1829-08-27

dered a beautiful monument to be erecteutIo
the memory of the Reglcides COTE, Whally.
and Dixwell, who lie buried in the oldsburIaA
yard, and whose graves are now marked 6y
small rude stones of common trap. Inc
monument is to be erected at the rear OF the
Centre Church, and will bear. we know not
what radical inscription" We are not dlsPO-
sed to discourage Mr.. Parkins in this display
of his feelings in favour Of the regicides; but
we very much doubt the accuracy of the re-
mark that COTE and Whalley lie buried in
New-Haven. That one, at least, Of them
does not, there is very satisfactory evidence.
These men were concealed many years IN the
house of the Rev. Mr.. Russell, at Hadley, in
the State of Massachusetts and it was sup
posed that they died there. It's not many
years since that house was taken down, and
in removing the materials Of which the Chin
ney was made, outside of the wall, the re-
mains of human skeleton were found.
They were unquestionably the bones Of one
of the regicides. We have never seen any
proof that either of them were buried at
New-Haven.-N. Y. Dai. Adr.
ITagicoI occwrrence.-Yesterday morning,
between five and six o'clock, Mr.. Joseph L.
Hays, one of the police officers, accompanied
by the owner of runaway slave, found him
standing in Hanover square, in front Of Mr..
Remsen's store. The colOred man, whose
name is Gaines, who is at least six feet high,
and prOpOrtiOnably stout, refused to 60 with
his owner aud the officer; and when Mr..
Hays was about to take him by the arn2s
Gaines drew knife and warned them not to
touch him. Mr.. Hays however, made sec
ond and third attempt to seize him, and receiv-
ed two severe cuts across one Of his wrists.
After this, he commanded assistance, when
"a general scuffle took place, and Gaines aimed
thrust at Mr.. HIS body, who, in warding it
off received severe cut in one of his thighs.
Notwithstanding the loss Of blood and the
danger he was in, he most courageously con-
tinued his exertions until he had Gaines secu-
red, put upon cart, and then rode up to
Bridewell, with his prisoner, covered with
blood. Gaines also made an attempt to stab
his master, but he warded off the blow with
his cane. which he broke over the slaves head.
Some Of the by ISLANDERS say, that tho owner
snapped a pistol at Gaines, but We did not see
il. Itwas owing to tight built, but small
cartlnan, that Gaines was thrown, and his
knife taken from him, otherwise, no one can
tell what further injury he might have done.

Stealing Wife.-A young surgeon was
lately apprehended at Sheffield, under war
rant charging him with having stolen pair Of
stockings, flannel pctticoat, dimity petit
coat, satin slip, and bonnet! 1t appeared
that the young gentleman had. in fact, stolen
a young lady, and had been married to her at
Gretna Green; that her mother. not rel
ishing the connection, had gone before a
magistrate. and preferred charge of stealing
the clothes in which the fair fugitive was atti-
red at the time Of her flight. What became
of the case is not mentioned in any of the
Sheffield papers.
People Of Color.-The corporation Of Gin
cinnati have passed an act relative to free
persons Of color requiring them to give bonds
in order to secure their residence in that city.
which restrictions they find it not easy to COM
ply with. The people OF color consequently
sent deputation to Upper Canada, to ascer-
tain if they could locate themselves in that
Province. The governor of Canada has Of
fered three districts of country for their choice,
and it appears they are negotiating for :. the
Gulf of Bluff Lands" which lie fifty miles
from Lake Erie. in a. degrees north, on the
Grand River. There is said to be two four

Dutch people, and the other Of Quakers.-
