Two cases in which the inhalation of chloroform

restoring his patients, after all ordinary means had
failed, by placing his mouth upon theirs, and by
forcibly insulating the lungs by rapid inspirations

SIMS - HIS Geneaiogy and Character. A
correspondent of the Boston Courier. from Savan-
nah, gives quite full account of this fellow The
good people Of Boston are fortunate in being rid of
worthless vagabond:
1t is unfortunate that any of your people are so
ready to lend creduous to the statement Of a
man IN such desperate circumstances as a fugitive
slave. This man, Thomas Sims, denied his mas
ter, who had always been exceedingly indulgen,
to him, and asserted that he was entitled to free
dom-and he is believed, and his counsel assert
that they can prove this against the clear and
responsible testimony produced by the claimants
agent. The private history Of this case is but
another example OF the vast amount of sympathy
thrown away BY those people in the North, whose
aoolitlonlsm is founded upon pure benevoence and
philanthropy. Tom was idle, dssipated fellow,
and MI Potter one of the most indulgent of own
ers. This gentleman, in summer, lives at Prince.
ton N. j., and in winter at his plantation, nine
miles from Savannah.
Tom lived with his mother in the citv. and
learned the masons trade. Though he was capa-
Bile OF earning dollar and half day. he had only
paid ten dollars to his master in two years. being
less than the amount of the taxes paid for him, He
has no children, and his reputed wife is a free
woman, who was so much incensed at his deser-
tion oi her, that as soon he informed her of his
arrival In Boston, she gave the information to his
master. Mr.. Potter at first thought he would not
sroupie LIQUID himself to reclaim SO idle fellow, but
Toms mother told him 1t lDas his dutv to do IL.
and endeavor to save him from becoming worthless
to himself and every body else. This Suggestion.
with the fact that it clear case, and would
give falr test as to whether Boston would redeem
her character and sustain the laws or not, induced
Mr.. Potter to follow the case up. He has done il.
without regard to expense and your community
should thank him for it. | trust the stain of nu
tication in Boston will be wiped off at last Mr..
Potter is an intelligent, hoeral-minded man, and
no uitraist on slavery or any other subject He is
