LIBERIA FARMERs.-It is with pleasure we write
It, says the Liberia Herald that there can be found
in Liberia persons completely independent in their
circumstances One has only to visit the flourish
ing farms of Messrs. Harris, Jamison and Black
ledge, to agree fully with in opinion Their
farms yield them all that required for their
food, rainent, and the luxuries of life. Beautiful
fields of sugar-cane and coffee the attention
of the traveller as he plods his quiet way on the
upper banks of the St. Paul's Their yards are
well filled with stock of every description; their
barns arc stored with rice, and the out houses
tain stores of barrels of sugar and syrup. This is
really an encouraging prospect Every man in
Liberia, If he will devote half of his time TO active
labor, may reach the same state OF independence.
We earnestly advise the vagrants and houseless
politicians of Monrovia to cease their pratting, go
up the river and make farms; they will then be
doing themselves and their country some service.

SLAVERY QUKsTIoN.-In lS49 three slaves be-
longing to Mr.. Harper, farmer in Boone county,
Kentucky, fled to Ohio, and took refuge in Cincin-
natl. Their master pursued them, and was en-
gagged in ferreting out their place of concealment
entered into negotiations for the purchase of the
three fugitives, and finally bought them for four
hundred and fifty dollars. Mr.. Harper executed a
bill of sale in Cincinnati, and Keyte gave mort
gage on some real estate to secure the payment of
the purchase money, for which he had given pro-
missory notes. When the notes came to maturity
they were not paid, and Mr. Harper recently filed
bill to foreclose the mortgage. The main point
of slaves void in the State of Ohio. Judge
Key decided the case on the Goth ultimo. He held
that, as the Constitution and the act of Congress
give right of recapure, such right Of recapture s
sufficient to sustain contract of sale executed by
the master in free State, conveying fugtives then
in such free State to citizen of such State, and
decree of foreclosure was therefore made.

JEALOUSY AND MURDER.-We are indebted to
the Newark Mercury for an extra slip Of that jour
nal containing an account of a murder committed
in that city on Monday evening. 1t appears that
an Irishnan named Edwin Drum, aged about twen-
five years, in the employ of John Burnett at his
foundry in the upper part OF Newark, has been
paying attention for some period back to young
girl namsd Margaret Garraty. engaged as SER
want by Charles W. Tucker, at tie North Ward
hotel According to reports, the affair had proceed
ed so far as to lead to arrangement for their
marriage. During the same period, however, it
seems that Drum had been also en- gagged to another
girl, and on Sunday last was married to her.. On
Monday evening Margaret informed some Of her
fellow servants that she intended to kill him,
-and showed carving knife which she had &C.
cured for that purpose. About half past seven
O'Clock, while Drum and his wife were walking
in Plane street, near the corner of New, Margaret
approached them, and saying. "Now forit, Edwin" "
plunged the carving knife into him to the depth of
nine inches. The unfortunate man gave a shud-
der, walked on for short distance, and suddenly
fell dead. The body of the murdered was
taken to the watch house-the wound was exam
ined and found to be in the neighborhood of the
heart After committing the deed. Margaret, ac-
cording to reports, proceeded home and informed
the servants what she had done, and threatened to
kill herself, since when she has disappeared. The
impression to be that she has committed sui
eide. The coroner held an inquest on the body OF
Drum, and rendered a verdict that deceased came
to his death in consequence of wound inflicted by
Margaret Garraty.-N. Y. Courier and Enquirer.
