END OF THE FUGITIVE SLAVE CASE.
Departure OF Simms for savannah.


Triumph Of Lar and Order Massachusetts,
Redeemed
BosroN, April 18th, 1851.
After Judge Woodbury. had pronounced
his decision yesterday afternoon, he said in
reply to an observation of the prisoners
counsel, n thank God Massachusetts is still
a State of the Union, and 50 long as she is
such, | shall administer the laws of the
Union or perish in the attempt"
A crowd of about one thousand persons,
followed the witnesses to their hotels. The
Soulheners were accompanied by a large
police. They received cheers, groans, and
Kisses, but cry for "ihree cheers for Dam
iel Webster and the Constitutions was res
ponded TO in a glorions manner
During the night there was little excite
ment, though the watch and police were un-
der military drill until o'clock this morn
ing, when they hailed in body in front Of
the east door of the Court House, being in a
hollow square.
The Fugitive Simms was brought from
his place of confinement, and placed in the
area, and the whole body moved off down
State street 10 Long Wharf, where Simms
was deposited on board the brig Acorn,
Coombs. The brig was towed down the
harbor by the Hornet, and is now probably
under good headway for Savannah Several
officers accompany the captive.
The whole affair passed of very quietly

DEATH GENERAL BRADY.

Another veteran is gone. General Hugh
Brady, of the United States Army, was killed
on the 10th inst, by fall from his carriage
in Detroit, Michigan, where he has been re-.
siding for a number of years. There are
few men now living, in our army, who have
had longer service, and there are none who
have been more deserving of the popular
esteem.
Hugh Brady was a native of Northumber-
land county, Pennsylvania, and was at the
time of his death over eighty years of age.
He entered the army March 7th, 1892 as an
ensign of infantry. He served with credit
up 10 the time of the war with Great Britain,
and on the 9th of July, 1912, he was appoint
ed Colonel of the 22d Infantry. In the bat
tie Of Chippewa, he headed this regiment,
which was almost annihilated in that hard
fought field the Colonel himself being Sc.
verely wounded. His rank in the line ever
since the war, has been that of Colonel (of
the Cd infantry,l although by brevet he has
held the rank of Brigadier General since July
9th, 1922, Probably there is not another
man in the world who has been Colonel for
nearly forty years
Although not for long time on any ac-
tive duty, General Brady has stood high in
the estimation of the government and of his
fellow citizens. He has for many years had
his headquarters at Detroit and contributed
greatly to preserving peace on the frontier
during the "patriot" disturbances in Canada.
During the administration of Gov. Ritner his
native state, in tardy acknowledgement of
his services 10 his country, presented him
with a splendid sword. In Detroit where
Gen. Brady was best known, he enjoyed the
high esteem of every citizen, as brave SOL
dier, and an upright, honorable man.-Eve.

HARRISBURG MAIL.

The citizens of this place have for some
years past labored under strange delusion
that the contractor was obliged to deliver
the Harrisburg or Southern mail at this
place six times a week, but as we get it
only semi-occasionaly, we take it for
granted that we were mistaken, and that
the Post Master General has left it discre-
tonary with the contractor to deliver it
Just when, and as often as he pleased. If
so the contractor certainly lives up to his
contract. During the past week the mail
has laid over at Northumberland. three
times, from one morning until the next
Surely Mr.. Kapp could send the mail two
miles in less than "a hours. If the Post
Master General will do nothing the con-
templated Telegraph, TO Northumberland
is our only hope.

1r APPROPRIATION FOR THE RIVER
BANK.-After the general appropriation
bill had fallen through, we We're fearful
that the appropriation of $4,000 to rip rap
the River bank at this place, would be
lost. But we rejoice to say that the new
bill as passed, contained the same appro-
priation, and also an appropriation of s5,-
600 TO repair the Shamokin Dam and
Schute. This money, if properly expend-
ed, will, we think, 90 far towards securing
the river bank at this place from further
destruction, by the action of the waves
during high water.
