INPoRrANr 70 THOSE OWNING SLAvEs.-The
Supreme Court Of Alabama recently rendered
the following decision in reference to the hiring
Of slaves, which is alike interesting and impor-
tant The decision is = wise one:
l. When the contract Of hiring, as reduced
to writing is generalin its TERMS not restricting
employment Of the slave to any particuler bust
mess, the bailee is authorized to employ him in
any business, to which slaves are ordinarily put,
and which is mot attended with extraordinary
risk or peril to life or health and parol proof is
not admissible to show that the slave; was only
to BE- employed in particular business.
2. The hirer Of slave may re-hire him to
another being responsible to the owner for his
proper treatment, and for his not being employ
ed otherwise than is authorized BY the scope of
his original contract Of hiring. -. -
3. If the hirer employs the slave in hazard
Gus business, not warranted by his contract, OF
re-hires him TO smother, to be employed in such
hazardous business, and the slave, while thus
employed is killed, even by inevitable accident
the owner may regard such misuse Of his slave
Is = conversion, and recover the value from the
hirer. -

THE Coal AND Iron RAILROAD FROM LOUIS
VILE TO MEMPHIs.-The Louisville Courier un-
derstands that the reports Of the Engineers en-
gagged in reconnaissance of the Louisville and
Memphis Railroad, through the coal and iron
region, are far more satisfactory than the friends
Of the road hoped to hear, and no more reliable
men can be found than Messrs. Livermore, Lee
and Newan, the engineers engaged in this re-
connoisance. The grades throughout the route
are light, and remarkably so at Muldrow's
Ridge; and the route of the road is so good that
one Of the cheapest roads in Kentucky may be
built on it. Within seventy miles Of Louisville,
the Engineers say, immense beds of bituminous
coal abound, easily worked, and Of the very best
quality for working iron and for other purposes.
Camel coal is also abundant.

to the Boston Medical and Surgical Journals e
following ingenious method, devised by him, fol
sxtricating young lady's finger from ring
which was Too small for her:
"An interesting young lady, about aelsnteen
years Of age, had presented to her gold ring,

FANNY FERNS OPINION OF SuNDAY.-Sun.

NOT ushered in with ascetic form, OF
heightened face, or stiff and rigid manners
Sweetly upon the still Sabbath air should
float the matin hymn of happy childhood
blending with early song of birds and waited

whose very name is love. 1t should be no
day for puzzling the half-developed brain
Of childhood with gloomy creeds, to shake
the simple faith that prompts the innocent
lips to say, " Our Father" 1t should be no
day to sit upright on stiff backed chairs, till
the golden sun should set. No; the birds
should not be more welcome to MARBLE. the
flowers to drink in the air and sunlight, or
the trees tostoss their little limbs, free and
fetterless. Pm so sorry that tomorrow is
Sunday ~ From whence does this sad
lament issue? From under your roof, oh
mistaken bnt well-meaning Christian pa
rents; from the lips Of your child, whom you
compel to listen to two or three unintelligi-
bic sermons, sandwiched between Sunday
schools, and finished off at nightfallssb III
tedious repetitions Of creeds and catechisras
till sleep releases your weary victim! No
wonder your child shuddafby when the
minister tells him that Heaven is one eter-

BABIES On THE IsTHMUs.-A gentleman who
has lately q travelled over Jordan" ON his way
to the promised land Of California, relates q
queer incident that took place while he was
crossing. It seems that there was quite num-
Der Of ladies in the company from Aspinwall to
Panama, and many of them were beautifully
supplied with responsibilities whose ages foated
from one to eight years. On these occasions fe-
male timidity is apt to get . little the better of
maternal anxiety, and the said responsibilities
instead of being attached to the apron strings
Of their anxious mamas, were placed in baskets
and carried on the backs Of the natives with the
trunks and other baggage, and fell considerably
in the rear. When nightcame on, and the party
halted at hotel on the road, the babes in the
wood were among the list Of missing. There
was great wailing and weeping among the be-
Ereaved, and probably some crashing Of teeth by
the "chi1dren, /" who were desperately hungry.
A party was despatched to the rear in search of
the lost treasures, and they found the natives
coolly encamped in the woods with ssyoung
America, " utterly unconscious of the fuss that
was going on, and no doubt supposing that if
the children and other baggage were got to the
steamer in time for sailing, it would be all right
The young ones were handed to their several
mothers about daylight, and grief was speedily
changed to rejoicing.

A QUEER RAcE-It is curious to observe
the singular means to which our idle popu-
lation sometimes resort in order to furnish
themselves with amusement The latest
instance we have heard of occurred few
days since at the White Mountains Ac-
cording to the Portland Argus gentleman
bet with one of the proprietors of the Sum-
nit House, that he THE proprietor) could not
run mile in eight minutes, starting from
the very top Of Mount Washington. The
bet was a gold watch. The proprietor is a
man weighing 100 pounds. and out of prac-
tice, but fun of courage. He got we'll off at
the first start, and the way he leaped from
rock to crag, from crag to cliff, was admira-
bic. Some travellers going up as the runner
was on his last quarter, liken the scene, as
he opened on them, to mountain goat on
the full rush. On this quarter he broke.
making misstep and coming on his knees,
but recovered himself in moment, and,
unframed, pushed on with lightning speed
to the gaol The result was that he reached
the judges stand, alive and unhurt, (which
was almost miraculous,) in sir minutes and
ffy-seven seconds. Any one who has been
over the mile run must be satisfied that it
was most perilous feat-the road being in
some places so rough and precipitous as to
be almost impossible. The travellers as
cending, who saw the flight of the landlord
say it took them nearly an hour to ascend
the same distance. 1t was queer race and
a bold one, and Boniface we'll deserved the
watch, for he risked his life to earn it.
