How TO MAKE SHOE IN A M1Nurr

OF performing on the stage the wonderful undertal

lawyer, and Seby Parker, merchant,-the last two
being men of wealth. AT Rockville, MARYLAND. 10
which place Mr.. Chaplin was Immediately taken,
upon requsition from the Governor of MARYLAND.
the pro-slaVery influence was still stronger The
magistrate, who had agreed to take bail, got fright
ened, and retreated from his agreement. Hon. Mr..
Bowie, Wing member of Congress, left his seat to
look after the interests of slavery. Mr.. Claplin's
counsel came to the conclusion that the chances
were altogether against their success in getting rea
sonable bail; hence they withdrew the application.
and Mr.. Chaplin was committed to Jail. His friends
and counsel made every possible arrangement for
his bodily comfort and intellectual wants, and left
town to make more complete arrangements for the
FINAL trial.

IMPROVEMENT OF CoLoRED SEAMEN-
This species of outrage continues to be perperated in
the southern cities An aggravated case occurred
last winter, when the bark Europa, Capt Nathaniel
Brown, of Salem, sailed from Bostoa On the fourth
day out she was dsmasted, and on the 9Th of Feb.
put INTO Savannah, IN distress. On the 10Th, Capt.
B. wrote to his owners in this city as follows ssTbe
authorities of the place have taken from me the stew
ard and cook, and placed them in Jail for safe keep
ing, and have been obliged TO hire two others at
Toe each per day The entire expense to the own
ers, for Jail fees, hire of substitutes, &c, was be-
tween one hundred and fifty and one hundred and
sixty dollars 1t is difficult TO aggravae in words the
meanness of such an act this, against vessel in
distress. "
We have heard itstated and presume it TO be true.
that some years since when similar outrage was
attempted, in the case of colored man, who was
ON board vessel commanded by a person wbn Is
now wealthy merchant in this city, the commander
protested against the act, pistol in hand; and the
constabe finding that ne could get possession of the

DAMAGES AGAINST A CITy.--An important trial
has come off in Boston, between Lyman Raymond,
plaintiff and the city OF Lowell, defendant, in which
heavy damages were awarded by the jury ana
some important points decided. 1t appeared
that the plaintiff who a citizen of Manchester,
New Hampshire, went TO Lowell on business, and
in attem pting to Central street, caught his
foot in the iron grating of culvert, which out
of place and protruded two inches more above the
side walk fell, and fractured his knee pan. The
counsel for the city, Sidney Bar lett, Esq, of Bos
ton, and Isaac f. Morse, solicitor for Lowell, con-
tended that, if attempts 70 cross a street in
city, any other place than where tagging stones
are laid, crossing place is indicated in some
way, he does 30 at his peril On the other hand, it
contended by Hon Rufus Choate George Bar
stow, and Jonathan Ladd, Esqs., for the plaintiff
that the whole highway Is open to foot passengers
and carriages, To pass and where their conve
nience may require; and il was admitted that the
plaintiff did not cross the tagging stones, al
though he was very near them and might have
done
The court sustained the position of the plaintiffs
COUNSEL and, it proved that the injury to the
plaintiffs leg, The being blacksmith totally dis
abled him for pursuing his trade and, as It was
of age, the jury awarded him the handsome sum
of 1895 damages, with interest The accident
occurred in November, 1916. The jury appear to
have acted upon this very just and proper view Of
the case, viz. that when party is wholly disabled
by the gross fault of another he is entitled to a
sum of money large enough 20 be put at interest
and yield to him an annuity sufficient for mode
rate support. II proved that this defect in the
street was made known to the city officers, and
they were more than once notified that it was dan
gerous, but neglected to repair it.
