Mr.. then took his man TO the
house of a neighbor, Mr.. -----, who
had previously been advised of the
joke. and offered to sell him at high
price. After some prsliminaries and
enquiries of the fellow if he were will.
ing TO be sold, the purchase was in due
form made, and some shin plaster's
counted out in payment in the fellow 3
presence, evidently TO his great de.
light. He was Immediately put TO
hard labor but, after short time,
the purchaser pretended offence at
some insolence of expression. and in
stantly ordered his man to be tied, and
was preparing his rope and COW hide,
when the fellow, in the utmost alarm,
fled, nor did he run booty. On mee-
ting his friend at the place of renoez-
vous for a division of tine spoils he was
informed, in consequence of his i'll IL
med elopement before the title papers
had been made, the purchaser had de-
manded and received back his money.
Thus exploded an experiment to raise
money, to the merriment of the neigh.
borhood. Ii is fact ascertaned that
the father OF the pretended negro con.
nived at the plan, and was TO partici-
pate in the proceeds. | hope our BEN
evolent friends, the Abolltionisis, will
devise some means to prevent white
men being made negroes.

RAIL ROAD ACCIDENT.

There was an accident upon tn
Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Poto
mae Railroad, on Saturday morning
which, from tho circumstances unde'
which it happened, is particularly &c
be regretted. The train left Rich
mond, as usual, soon after o'clock
in the morning, and had gone about
seven miles when it encountered an
obstruction upon the road which thre W
the engine off the track. The OBJ
struction was caused by tree which,
being heavily laden with tho sleet,
had, during the high wind ofthe night,
been blown down across the track. -
Mr.. Anthony, the engine man, and Mr..
Mallory, the fireman, were both lmme-
diately thrown from the engine; the
tender fell upon them, and both were
killed. No passenger was at all hurt,
nor was even the baggage car injured,
which was between the tender and pas
sengcr car.
Ii frequently happens that accidents
ON railroads are caused by want of
care on the part of the engine man
and when such accidents happen, aud
the engine man is himself hurt in con.
sequence of his own neglect, there IS
usually less sympathy for him on that
account but the present is not case
OF that kind. On this occasion there
is every reason TO believe that the un
fortunate men who have been killed
were fee from blame, and used such
precautions as we're in their power.
The engine was not moving at any
improper degree of speed, but day was
just dawning, and there was general
sleet which, at that hour, disguised
the object upon the track, and proven
ted its being seen any distance. The
condition IN which the engine was
found after the occurrence, showed,
however, that the tree had been noti-
ced, though at too late moment to no
any good. The break was found
down, and the reversed motion OF the
engine IN a position proper for stopping
the train.

ARREST OF Two MEN FOR COMMIT.
TING A MURDER IN IRELAND. - case
of some interest now exists in New
York, growing out of an arrest made
upon the authority of documents sent
| by the British Government to this
country. The parties arrested are a
father and son, charged with the MUIR
der of one Of the military police at
Balymony, Ireland, who was assisting
the civil authorities in executing a
writ of ejectment on the premises Of
the accused IN is2o.--The papers in
relation TO the case have all been sent
to the Governor, in order to obtain his
authority TO deliver up the prisoners
to the British Government. The ia.
Their admits the killing of the soldier.
bu, says that il occurred in this way
When the police were putting his tami-
~ out of the house, some Of them re-
sisted, upon which soldier shot dead
one of the old mans sons, and was in
the act OF bavonetting another, when
he was fired at aud killed by one OF
the family.--'rhis presents the case
with different feature. On the part
of the prisoners the plea will bs made
that the arrest has been ordered at
this late day through the malice Of re.
lgious persecution. The case has
begun to excite considerable interest
in New York, as many Of the Irish
declare, that, should the Governor of.
fer to deliver up the prisoners they
will rise in body to prevent them
being sent from the shores of America.

From the Lynn Record.

On Wednesday the 10Th OF Februa-
ry, we were present to the number Of
fifteen or twenty al Mrs. Purker's in
broad street, to see an experiment in
Animal Magnetism to be made by DR..
Fisk, dentist of Salem with Miss s., u
young lady Of this town II years of
age. We were told that Miss S. had
been magnetised the preceding even.
ing for the first time, that while in
the magnetic sleep she seemed to be
insensible to pain, and among other
things to several scratches made on the
wrist, the marks of which still appear.
cd.
At about 3 o'clock, p. M. she came
] into the room where we were assem-.
bled and took rocking char. Dr..
F. having taken chair before her
proceeded to magnetse her by the
usual gestures or passes. In about
twenty minutes she appeared to be "a
sleep not regarding in any measure
what was said to her, the startling
noises that were made. the pinching OF
her ear, and other attempts ofthe spec.
tators TO rouse her. DR.. F. then as.
ked her if she would have that tooth
taken out. She did not seem TO hear
him but when ne asked her 10 show
the tooth, she put her finger upon one,
of which she was said to have complai-
ned several days.
DR.. F. having first cut about it,
took hold Of it with forceps, and pull
ling pretty hard while he made tour
or five motions from side 10 side he
extracted the tooth. Ii was one of
the upper grinders and was evidently
pretty firmly set.-Yet during the ope.
ration she gave no signs of pain or
any degree Of uneasiness by any mo.
ton or any expression of her counie-
nance.-When the magnetizer awaked
her, soon after she felt the loss Of the
tooth, but had no recollection of the
operation. Ii is but justice to say,
that the character of the parties con-
cerned, is such as to repudIate the sup.
position of any desire or interest to de.
ceive, and we feel called upon particu-
larly to say that the delicate young
lady is one of the last persons that
could be suspected of sacrificing truth
to the support ofimpostures, or TO have
succeeded in feigning sleep during a
painful operation, if she had been dis
posed to do so. All the circumstances
of the case are very strong, and the
whole scene did not fail to convince
the most sceptical Of the company o.
the power of animal magnetism. The
company consisted Of most of the ply
sicians of this town, together with our
citizens, who can testify to the truth OF
this report.

i >PRuNcE ID DJoINvILLE.-Col. Stone, OF
the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser, says
| that this Prince with all his reposc of
manner, is a close observer of men and
things. He has travelled through our
country almost with the rapidity Of an
express. And yet, says the editor, we
discovered that little OIL his various
routes, which was worth seeing, has es-
capped his observation. He was delight
ed with the journey through which he
passed from Philadelphia to Pittsburg,
and thence to Niagara via Cleveland
and Lake Erie. fthe scenery in the
neighborhood Of Pittsburg he spoke with
delight, as he did of the general beauty
of the Western country-regretting cx-
ceedingly that his orders forbade visit
to the more Western Statcs-thc coun-
try Of the great prairics. But he hopes
yet to perform that tour.
In descending Lake Erie, he remark
ed, in reference to the Western march
of industry and civilization, that he could
not but contrast the appearance of the
country now, with what it must have
been when, only forty years ago, his ia
ther descended that lake in q fiat bot
toned boat.
He spake Of the enterprise Of our
people with enthusiasm. why" said
he, "you are making railroads every
where. Mountains and vallies are no
obstacles. You almost literally run
railroads through the air." This re-
mark was in allusion to somo high en-
bankments. " I'm ten years." he add
ed" certainly in less than twenty you
will have a railroad through the rocky
mountains to the Pacific ocean. | shall
come here by steam. shall cross the
continent to the Pacific by railroad and
steam. And from thence shall 90 to
China by steam"
In one word, the young Prince
has been delighted with his visit, and
the character Of our people and coun-
try. His age, we believe, is twenty
three. He speaks English with moro
than usual deliberntion, but with re-
markablc precision and correctness.
The visit Of these ships has been o
source Of great satisfaction TO the pco-
plo ofNewport--awakening many rccol-
lections and historical "Reminiscences cf
the revolutionary era. when the ships
