Dr.JsYvz-Dagr Si..--By the blessing of God
your INDIAN lNPEChOR.ANF has effected
a cure in me Of most distressing complaint. In
Decejsher last. was seized with great severity
by PareVrsm Of Astllma adisease with which
| had bee ~ llctcd for many years past It was
attended with ,hoarscness and soreness OF the
lungs and throat, together with laborious congh,
and complete prostmtion of strength, and when
almost worn out with suilocation, a~botilc Of your
Expcctorant was sent to, my house. AT first |
thought it was nothing but quackery, hut seeing
it so highly recommended by DR.. Going, with
whom was well acquainted, was induced to try
il, and in a few days ii completely cured me, nor
have | ever had any return of the disease since.
| have now formed high an opinion of your
medicine that if | had but few bottles of it, and
could obtain no more, would not part with them
for Ten dollars coeh.

O-The trial Of Mr.. JOHN PRIDE for the
murder of Harvey Merrick, came on last Mon
day before the Examining Court in this place
and terminated most favorably to Mr.. Pride.
After hearing the evidence on behalf of the
Commonwealth only, very full Court, Of
their otUn motion, pronounced verdict of &C
quitai unanimously; and took occasion to
remark "that, without going into the evidence
on behalf Of the prisoner, there was enough
to satisfy them that he was not only innocent
of the death of Merrick, but that he had acted
with much kindness and good feeling towards
him during his illness, and had approved him
self a highminded and worthy man.
We take this notice of the matter in JUS
tice to Mr.. Pride; because prejudice was ex.
cited against him previous to the trial, in con.
sequence of an entire misapprehension as to
the true facts of the CASE

Chancellor Kent's Opinion If the controversy
6ettoeen Nc,v York and Yirgtnia.

oVUee" 1sCW 4 OFh anu v tfgtmQ.
"The Constitution Of tho United States has
provided for tho surrender Of fugitives from
justice, 6eftveen the seccrai STATES, in case of
'treason, felony, and other crimes," but
1t has not designated the specific crimes for
which surrender must be made, and this
has led to difficulties, as between the States.
Thus, for instance, in 1889 the Governor of
Virginia made application to the Governor Of
New York, for the surrender of three men,
charged by affidavit as being fugitives from
justice, In felonfously stealing and taking atvay
from one Colsy in Virginia q negro slave /.
saac, The property Of C6!ley The application
was made under the act Of Congress of Feb.
IL, 1893, chapter Z, sec. 1, founded on tho
Constitution Of the United States, Art. 4, sec.
2, as being case of treason, felony, or other
crime, within the Constitution and the Law,
and certified as the statute directed. The
Governor of New York refused to surrender
the supposed fugitives, on the ground that
slavery and property in slaves did not exist
In New York, and that the offence was not A
CRIME known to the laws of New York, and
consequently rot a crime within the meaning
OF the Constitution and statute of the United
States. The Executive and Legislative au-
thorlties of Virginia, on the other hand, con-
sidered the case to be within the provision of
I the Constitution and the law, and that the
refusal was denial of right. 1t was con-
tended that the Constitution of the United
States recognises the lawful existence of
slaves as property, for it apportions tho rep.
resentatiyes among the States on the basis of
the distinction between free persons and 9TH
or persons, and it provides in Art. A, sec. Q,
for their surrender when escaping from one
State to another that slaves were regarded
as property, In nearly all the States and pro-
tected as such, and particularly in New York,
when the Constitution was made; and that
the repeal ofthose laws and remuneration of
that species of property, in one State, does
not affect the validity of the laws and of that
species OF property in another State and
that the refusal to surrender felons, who steal
that property in Virginia, and flee with il, or
without it, to New York, on the ground that
blacks are no longer regarded as property in
New York, is violation of the Federal COM
pact, and OF the act of Congress thereon. This
case involves very grave consid crations.
have read and considered every authority,
document, and argument on the subject, that
were within my command, and in my hum
BILE view of the question, cannot but be of
opinion that the claim of tho Governor of
Virginia was well founded, and entitled to be
recognized and enforced.

JOHN, negro boy, charged with an attempt
TO commit rape, was tried by Court Of
Oyer and Ferminer in this place on Thursday
last, and found guilty. The penalty is death.
The Court sentenced him to be executed on
the 18th of April next. The unfortunate
creature is not more than l6years Of age, and
possesses very little, if any, intellect
Throughout the awful proceedings, upon
whose decision his life was suspended, he
manifested the utmost thoughtlessness, look
ing about and laughing as though he were an
idle spectator at aplace of amusement The
extreme youth of the boy, in connection with
his manifest want Of mind, and other circum-
stances that tend to palliate his offence, in
duced the Court to recommend him to the
clemency Of the Governor, for a communication
Of his sentence to that Of transportation be-
yond the limits of the United States. We
have mover known acase that presented stron-
ger claims to the merciful interposition of the
Executive arm, than does the case of this al
most idiotic boy. We trust the petition of
the Court will be favourably regarded.

J. 5. SKINNER, Esq. Dear Sir Having
now In use at the works Of the Beet Sugar
Refining and Manufacturing Company the
virginia Corn and Cob Crusher, (Baldwin's)
purchased from Messrs. II. Sinclair e. Co. Of
your city, and having tested most fully its
capacity and qualities mechanically and prac-
tically,I feel authorized to pronounce it a
most valuable machine, and duty l owe the
Agricultural community to thus intrude on
your valuable time in order to give it greater
publicity. 1t is gearod to the shaft by apulley
and belt connected with the water wheel of
the flour mill. These machines can be driv-
en- by any description of power, taking for
1t only from one to three horse power, and it
performs the object for which it was intended
most effectually, crushing and grinding
bushel OF corn in the ear in three minutes
Of the great advantages and economy in the
use OF the corn and cob crushed, it Is unneces-
sary for me here, to speak, ground in tho
manner above mentioned, in promoting the
distension of the Animals stomach mechani-
cally, and the cob besides containing large
portion of pearlash, thereby neutralizing all
acids and promoting digestion, &c.
