with relative of hers, Mrs. Alexander, to
Philadelphia, in the year 1888, to attend on
her while the latter was undergoing medical
treatment for defective sight. Previously
to sending her, Mrs. t. inquired as to the
laws Of Pennsylvania regarding slaves, and
learned that if the slave remained there longer
than six months she would be free; (this
was before the repeal, in lS47 y but believ-
ing in the fai,hfulness Of Clarssa, she sent
her there, where she remained more than
six months, and then went back voluntarily
TO her mistress. Clarissa, by the wish and
will Of her deceased master, was to be freed
at the death Of her mistress but the latter
becoming involved in debt, sold her to a
female, WI 10 was subsequently, her executrix,
and who retained the former in slavery, con-

OYSTER WAR.-The Slate Capitol Ga

OYSTER Wharf.-The Slate Capitol Ga
zeHe, gives the following accoun, Of the cap
ture of three vessels with their crews, who
who were found violating The oyster laws
of this State in the vicinity Of Annapolis
On Monday Che Oath ul,,) deputy Sher-
iff Bryan, having received information that
several vessels were dragging for oysters in
South River, contrary to the acts of Assem-
bly in such case made and provided, sum-
moned posse comitatus, and proceeded
thlther. Three vessels were captured, the
Hero, the Perseverance, and the SUSAN
While bringing the vessels to this city, a
desperate effor. was made by the crew Of
the Hero TO recapture that vessel, and the
noble daring of a young man, Mr.. Daniel
HoIydiyoke of this city, only prevented the
deputy sheriff and that portion Of the posse
who were with him, from being murdered.
The Captain of the vessel attacked Holydi-
woke who was at the helm, and endeavored
to shoot him with his gun, but being pre-
vented from doing this, he threw the gun
attempted 10 throw him overheard, while
the rest of the crew attacked The remainder
of The posse. Holydiyoke proved too much
for his man, and having beaten him severe
ily. threw HIM overheard. He then rescued
the Sheriff and his comrades from the dan
perous position in which they were placed
The Captain was then picked up, and the
parties brought to this city, were commit
ted to jsil in default of security to appear
before the Grand Jury Of this county at The
April term Of the Circuit Court. In the af-
FRAY, the captain of the vessel was seriously
wounded, and is now dangerously i'll, his
death being expected. We hope these par
ties may be severely deal, with, as il is ar
offence Of most unmiligaled nature.
Not content with the violation Of The law:
Of the State, our officers are attacked in ths
discharge Of their duty, and we have nj
doubt, bu, that the whole party would have
been murdered, had not Holydiyoke have
been on board.
These parties have had frequent warming
of late, several of their vessels having beef
captured and condemned. Indeed we bav'
heard that some of the crew have befor
been captured in other vessels for slmila
violation of law. Our citizens have hl'her
to dealt too mercifully with Them. The.
have refused 10 bid against them, when ihei
vessels were sold, and permitted The owner
to buy them in, at one quarter their value
When mercy is returned in such manner
:. it is time that these violations of our Law
should be treated with summary punishment

RICHARD NEAL.-The case Of this man
will attract much attention both in the free
and slave States. He is charged with hav-
ing en,iced slaves to run away from Mary
land. He was arrested on requisItion from
The Governor Of Maryland, and was on his
way to be delivered up TO the authorities OF
this State, when he was taken back 10 Phila-
delphia, on wri, Of habeas corpus; and the
whole case will undergo judicial inves''gs-
ton. The offence with which Neal is charg-
ed is serious one; and it is Of great i'm
portance to slave holders, that, if proved
guilty, he should be punished--and we hope
tha, the au,horties Of Pennsylvania will not
throw any distractions in the way Of OBJ
tanning justice.

capacity Of which would have frightened

Mysteries. After prolonged stare all around
him, the stranger gave his long uncombed
locks shake from around his ears, and ap
