! Dana Thompson of Cornwall in this CO.,
was arrested last week in Berkshire in

resulted in the commitment of the respon-

say nothing further on the subject at the

breaking up Miss CrandalI's schooI. and
who was lately chosen president of the
q" American Urion for the Relief and I'M
provement of the colored race" was en-
! gagged as counsel for the Shareholder in
the late case at Hartford, and argued three
hours in favor of sending back to slavery
woman who had been brought into the
state by her master. We think the Amer

or amend it's title. Remaining person
to slavery is a mode Of "refief and i'm
provemcnt' for which Yankees generally
have little taste.-Zlon'S Herali.
