iNuAS SSuL AND lNeRSuTTy.--By. the courtesy of the Commissioner of indian Affairs, we we're yesterday shown some specimens Of BeediewoFk and embroidery, brought by hfn from his just concluded mission 10 Minnesota smt the northwest. Of surpas- sing beauty and wofkrnan, or workman ship, we don't know which. Three table covers we're ex- hIbIted to as so admirably embroidered by the Tone wands Indians that iHi point of chasteness of de- sign, close mutation of natural leaf and frliitage and mlnu;eness of finish. we should think have never been exceled by any people, however skiltui m these arts. They were intended, we were told, for exhibition at the World s Fair in London, hi!. were commenced too late To be ready n tune. No doubt the destination they have reached IS quite as good if not a better one, than that originally meditated. What makes thls work the more diff cull, and yet the more beautiful and valube, be- cause. meter liable Co fade, IS the fact that the material oi these embgoideIieS is moose har, sub stance not easily managed, though almost inde- strnctlble in itself
 We also saw ladies' moecasins, of yauous styles and patterns. anl of n taste in cut and e1nbeilish ment equal 10 any thing Of Porisan origin. It surprised us to be told that they were the work of North American Indians
 Besides these articles of rertu, we found the Commissioners table set out with sundfy Sioux eaiamrts, constructed from the beautiful Inorone colored plpaz stone of western Iowa, mineral, by inc way, justly przed by the Indians, and which will one day be matter Of some national interest,
 Fan. like insignia Of savage prowess, various costumes tipped eagles feathers, each Of such and such scalp yalue--aecor9ng as itrecords the de- Structlon of man, woman, or child--are amolg the pledges thus brought of the Indlan's disposition to be at lasting peace with his white brethren. The accession thus made 10 the cabinet Of curcsltieS of the Indian Bureau will attract much interest. - Ndt hfeiAgeaeer.

pr. rrauklin,s Fugitive slave Law.

On the lst of March, l776, the legislature el Pennsylvania passed an act, drawn uptby Dr. Franklin, to provide for the gradual abolition oi slavery within this Commonwealth, the eleventh section of which is as follows:
 ''Thai his or any other thing Tn ii contained shall not give any retief shelter to any abscond- ing or runaway negro or malatto slave or servant wllo has abseonded himself from his or her owner or mistress residing in any etAer State country ba' such owner master or mistress shall have like nghi and aid to demand, claim and take away his slave or servant as he might hIUs baa in this act had not been mage.'
 This was the view and action of one of our great est patriots, statesman and philosopher; but the view Of our Stevens and Strohms, is to throw every obstruction in the way of rendition of fagi- tive slaves.

SrRuck DEAD gY LIGHTNING IN THE PuLPIT.-It was mentioned briefly few days since, that the Rev. Mir. Bssey was struck dead by lighting al New London, Pennsylvania while in the pulpit. A letter from New London, Aug. ', gives the fol- lowing particulars:
 A tremendous thunder storm passed over this place about I o'clock this afternoon, which, from it's severity, done much damage, resulted in the immediate death of a most es;imabe and worthy man. During the prevalence of the storm. ter rible flash of lightning struck the Methodist Epls- eopal Church. Oxford Circuit while the congre- gation were at worship. Tine minister, Rev. Jonas BsSey. was knocked from the pulpit out upon the floor and instantly killed, and four other persons severely injured; three of them are said to be re- covering from the effects of the stroke, while but
 little hopes are entertained for the recovery of the other one.
 Al the time the fatal summoAs came, Mir. Bissey was about closing his discourse; the consternation which followed may readily be imagined; minis ter of God while pointing out to his flock inc way of salvation, and leading their minds from the things of this world 10 the bright and blessed reali- ties of an everlasting future, thus suddenly called hence IS mournful bereavement, and a solemn warning to us all 10 be prepared for the awful messenger, whenever it shall please a Gracious Providence to send him among us. The Reverend gentleman leaves a wife and two children.

Lee was riding from Boston 10 Lynn, and on the road was over taken by two Boston lawyers The profession of each was soon known. and in reply to- query if Mr. Lee ever made mistake m his preaching, and if so if he rectiied 1t, Mr. Lee answered that he did make mistakes sometimes, and if trivial, did not stop 10 correct them. For instance said the preacher, went to quote the text, 'al liars shall have their part in he lake that baraeth with fire and brimstone.' and by mistake sad, all tncygrS, and it was SO nearly true dd moi think Il worth while 10 correct it.
