The following statement, published in the Bar

ensiyely copied in the Southern pspe1s, probably
suggested the recent attempt to express two de-
luded slaves from this city to Philadelphia, if the
occurrence did not, indeed, constitute one of the
first essays Of tho same experiment.

WONDERFUL ESCAPE OF S1Ava-A few
weeks ago, slave in Southern city managed to
open correspondence with gentleman in a
Northern city, with a view of effectng an escape
from bondage. Having arranged the preimina-
ries, he paid somebody $40 to box him up, and
mark him, This side up, with care" and take
him to the express office, consigned to his friend
at the North. On the passage, being on board of
Sit amboat, he was accidentally lnrned head
downwards, and almost died with the rush of blood
to the had At the next change of ,ranspor a.
ton, however, be was turned right side up again,
and after 26 houls' confinement, arrived safely al
his destination. On receiving the box, the gen
tleman (9 had doubts whether he should find a
corpse Or free man: He tapped lightly on the
box, with the question, "Ai right 2" and was
delighted to hear the response, IAN right, sir"
The poor fellow was Immediately liberated from
his place of living burial, and forwarded to a
wealthy abolitlonist in city in New England
where he now is We have assurance that this
story is no flight of fancy, bat absolutely true.

BoILING WArEa.-Ne wish to correct mis-

however great the fire under il may be. AS soon
as water reaches the temperature Of two hundred

THE GREAT FIRE at ST. LOUIS.


The telegraph furnishes US with some addition
al particulars in relation to this distressing calan-
ity. ltaPpears that the fire broke out on board
the feamer St. Cloud, which was almost instan
tanepusly communicated to the adjoining steam
ers SIN
The burning boats were cut from their mornings
and Heated down the levee, setting fire to such
boats as were unable to get ont.
AIstrong wind prevailing, the boats almost the
entlrf length ofthe levee soon presented solid
sfeetot flame. BY this time nearly the whole
city lecame aroused and the utmost conserna-
ton prevailed
The lest from the burning boats set the build
ings fronting the leyee on fire, the flames conmu-
eating al the lowest street, the very heart Uf the
business portion Of the city--and extending from
Locust street far three quarters If a mile down
the levee, reaching back as far as Second street.
Within these b,unds nearly every building is in
ruins. 10 attempt to give particulars in the
midst of the excitement that now prevails, is ut.

On the river, at Market street, the progress o
the fire wa, stayed by the blowing up Of The drue

Mr.. ThDnas B. Fargo, an auctioneer, was on

American Gardener, recommends thy sowing of
sdveral kinds Of seed in autumn--such for in
stance, as corrots, beets, onions, parsnips, and
many other kinds. He remarks in illustration of
the truth of this theory, that the "seeds of all
plants wtll remain safe in this way all the winter
though The frost may penetrate to the depth of
three feet below them, except the seeds of such
plants as very slight frost will out down." A
