PHrBE, OF BRuSswIcK. Sunday, the
Sd OF March, there was buried at Brunswick,
Mainc, a black woman Of remarkable charac-
ter; and she was highly honorcd nt her death.
At her funeral, the assembly, filing tho large
church near the college, were addressed by Rev.
DIR. Adams OF Brunswick, in q very appropri-
ate, affecting and eloquent speech. Her pail
bearers were Governor Robert Dunlap, DIR.
Lincoln, of tho same class with Chief Justice
Shaw of Massachusetts,, Professor Packard, and
Joseph McKcen, Esq. Treasurer OF Bowdoin
College, &c. and the principal mourncrs were
President Allen, with two OF his daughters, OF
( Northampton, Mass who had come Z50 miles
to attend the funeral. She was buried by the
side OF her friends, Mrs. Allen and her daugh-
ter, Maria Malleville Allen. But why were
these honors paid to this lowly woman
II was because OF her rare attainments as a
! Christian. 1t was because she had been for
tlSSty years a worthy member of the church of
Brunswick, and was regarded by her fellow
christians as superior to themselves in the
strength OF her faith and in a spirit OF devotion.
She was born slave at Devcrwyck, near New
ark, N. J. In early life she entered as a ser.
want the family OF President Whcclock, of
Dartmouth College, and lived in his family and
that OF his daughter, Maria Malleville Allen,
the wife OF President Allen OF Bowdoin Col
lego, 40 years. For the last IL years she lived
alone in her house and she died alone and sud-
denly. In the same night, and probably at the
same hour, died her friend, the witc of Rev.
DR.. Adams. This circumstance added peculiar
interest and pathos to his discourse. lie said,
that II his beloved companion (then lying dead, !
to be buried the next day. could have been per- I

passed through the dark valley, and in her up |

but her soul is whittier and purer than the light,
and her heavenly garments are more resplcn-

INDIAN CSREXoSIRs.-The Syracuse Journal
says that series of Indian Councils have been
held daily at the Onondago Castle, for the past
fortnight. "On Friday last was celebrated tho
important rite Of sacrificing the White Dog
Tho customary victim was inundated on tia-
ming altar, with all the formality and circum-
stances OF ancient usage among the Iroquois, in
presence OF pagan portion oil the nation, and
numerous white persons, spectators. On Tues
day last. this crowning festival OF the Indian
year, after continuance of nine days, was clo-
scd with the exciting and wonderful ceremony
Of the War Dance. These observances are con-
tinued in the midst of a Chaistian community
with all the reverence, solcmnty, and zeal OF
ancient times, with punctuality and devotion
which shows the regard these people have for
the institutions of their fathers, and with what
tenacity they still cling to their ancient GUS
TOMS"
MARYLAND.-The passage Of the law by the
Legislature permitting the importation of Slaves
into the State has met with denunciation on all
sides. believe that every paper in the city
and counties, that has expressed an opinion at
all in reference to the matter, has denounced the
law. Under the law prohibiting the free inn
portation of slaves, the number had decreased
from 100000 in 1880 to $4,000 in 1910, with a
gradual decrease since, giving every hope that
time would rid us of the curse of Slavery
The unpopularity of the now law is such that
it must and will bo repealed at the next session
of the Legislature.
A Coon Fox STORY. The St. Johnsbury
Caedonian tells the story of q poor fox, who,
week before last, was hunted until nearly the
close OF day, by sportsman and two hounds,
and who, finding things grew desperate, made
for the track of the Passumpsic road in Newbu-
ry VT, and leaped over the track, ahead of the
coming train, followed by the hounds, one OF
whom lost thrcefourths OF his tail, aud the other
had his hind quarters cut Oft. Reynard escaped
without injury. His calculation evidently was
70 have both hounds cut off by the cars, but he
missed figure somewhere in his reckoning
Probably he did not allow enough for the wind
OF his own brush in impeding the onward pro-
gress Of the train. Had he done so, both
hounds must have been killed, and about an
inch of Reynards tail becn minus. 1t was well
planned as 1t was.
