A KIDNAPPING CAsE.-But short time
ego gentleman living in Greenup County,
Kentucky, little way above Portsmouth,
liberated four of his slaves, and they took up
their residence in Burlington, in our State, in
the County of Lawrence. The gentleman
who set them free, soon after died insolvent,
and a creditor of the estate, Mr.. S.,
claiming that man could not put his prop
erty out of his hands when in dobt, employ
cd three or four desperate fellows to catch
and transport these slnves to their original
home. The plan succeeded, and Mr.. s.
had them sold at auction, and the buyer i'm
mediately started with his purchase down
the river. A gentleman from Lawrence
County took up the cause Of the negroes,
and assertaining the direction the purchaser
had taken, came down here, engaged elni-
pent counsel and started for Louisville yes
ierday morning, for the purpose Of arresting
the parties there and having the legality OF
the whole proceedings investigated. If the
case comes TO trial it will involve some points
of law that il will bo we'll TO have immedi-
stely decided Cincinnati Emp ID

mathematician and engineer. He came to this
country without money, friends, trade or even
any acquaintance with our language, but by in
dustry and perseverance he has overcome the
most trying difficulties and succeeded in pro-
ducing this splendid instrument, the best Of
the kind in the world.
The highest microscopic power hitherto at

Der of feathers on these little feathers arc OBJ
served longitudinal and transverse lines, but
this has been, so far, the utmost that has been
seen.
This new microscope, however, shows that
between each pair of longitudinal lines, there
arc FIVE or six rows Of scales, like those of fish,
and appear to have the same form in all the
feathers, differing only in size. A dust particle
taken from the bnck of the body of a sphinx,
which is tho largest of these feathers known,
measuring ono fifteenth OF an inch in length,
and one two -hundrcdth of an inch in breadth,
had l04 longitudinal lines between each pair
Of lines, six rows of scales were visible, making
the number of these little scales, latcrally,

downwards, would be 2,22S; therefore the en-
tire number of these scales on this little feather
amount to l,4OO,OOO which gives the number
Of IA thousand millions to one square inch

CINCINNATI CoRREsPoNDENcE.-Our acknow-
Judgements are due to the friend whose volunta-
ry kindness enables us to keep our readers so
constantly advised of all important events and
movements which transpirc. from time to time,
in the Queen City,. His letters arc always
welcome, supplying as they do one of the press
ing needs of journal like The Buglc, which,
though intended for general circulation at the
West, is published at distance from any COM
mon centre of business and intelligence. This
need, though it were ever so imperative, the
Society would be wholly unable to supply but
for the generosity of our correspondent, who
asks no other reward than that which springs
from tho consciousness of having laborcd to
subscrve the great cause to which The Buglc is
devoted.

THE WRoNo MAS.-The U. S. Deputy Mar
shal Of Boston, accompanied by several police
officers, went to Salem (fifteen miles East Of
BOSTON, and arrested a colored young man
named Burton, under pretence that he had as-
sisted in the rescue of Shndrach. A crowd of
citizens surrounded the young man, and declar-
ed that the officers should not have him, unless
they disavowed the purpose of carrying him off
as fugitive slave. This they did, and were
permitted to take him to Boston; but when he
was brought before tho U. s. Commissioner no
evidence was found against him, and he was
discharged. Itis believed that Caphart, the
Virginia slave-catchcr, took this means to get
hold of man whom he supposed tn be fugi-
tive, but who turned out to be freeman. Bur-
ton has brought suit against Attorney Goneral
Lunt for malicious prosecution and false i'm
prisonment, laying his damages at $4,000.

ILLNESS OF MARY GREw.-We learn with
deep regret that the rapidly failing health of
Mary Grew has compelled her to retire for the
present from her editorial connection with tho
Pennsylvania Freeman. We sympathisc with
her in the disappointment she must feel in be-
ing obliged to forcgo an occupation which, with
all its cares and responsibilities, is yet minis
tration of happiness to those who enter upon it
in the right spirit and under the influence OF
those exalted motives which should always sway
the human soul.

Token OF Encouragement.

The Philadelphia Female Anti Slavery Socic-
ty has forwarded to us, through MARY GREw,
the sum of $500, to pay for ten copies of The
Bugle, for one year, for which that Society vot-
ed tobubscribe. They wish the papers circu-
lated at the West, and leave the disposal of
them to the discretion of the Editor. We shall
certainly discharge the trust con6dcd to us with
scrupulous fidelity; and in behalf of the little
band who have struggled so long to sustain an
Anti Slavery Press at the West, we thank the
Philadelphia friends for this token Of encour-
ogoment. Miss Grew, in her letter, says:
II need not say that this Society, in common
with other Abolitionists here, feel deep inter-
est in the success Of The Buglc. 1t is our only
Anti Slavery organ West of the Mountains, and
our cause could i'll spare it. 1t must not be suf-
fercd to 90 dowr. l trust that the Abolitionists
of the West will see to it that it is well sus-
taincd."
We believe our friends at the East do not
ovcr-cstimato the importance to the Cause Of
sustaining an ti-Slavcry journal this side of
the AllcshOnies, and they certainly have de-
monstratcd the sincerity of their convictions by
many timely and substantial tokens-tokens
which would scarcely have been needed il the
Abolitionists of the West had generally been
faithful to the obligations implied by their name
and profession. We hope this word of cheer
from Philadelphia may stimulate not few Of
the friends of this paper to renewed excrtions
in its behalf We do not deserve help from 9TH
ors until wo do our utmost 10 help ourselves.

SAD BEREAvEMBST.-On Monday last, mel
ancholy accident occurred, resulting in the death
of an amiablc and interesting little girl, the ia
voritc of her childish companions and greatly
beloved by her psrsnts. QglELIA ADELAIDE,
daughter OF John @. and Harriet Whinery, of
Salem, aged about years, being on visit to
her grandmother in Butler township, went out
to the sugar-camp, and while playing with other
children around the Ere, the flames came in con-
tact with her clothes, and before her unclcs, who
were at some distance from the spot, could afford
any relief, she was so badly burned that death
ensued in ten hours. She was buried on We'd
nesday forenoon, and her remains were followed
to the grave by long procession of her little
school-matcs and friends, as well as by large
number of sympathizing citizens. This distress
sing accident has awakened the deepest sympa-
thy of our citizens for the bereavcd family.

with rnasterly fidelity, while the onward

wit sparkling as that of Punch himself We
