sloped about year since for the cool, romantic
and haspitable colonies Of queen Victoria out
finding his comforts were not quite equal 10
those he left at home, concIudedthat he would
Ike to return, and accordingly immediately got
Mr. Daily, ofNew York, to write to his former
master; requesting that be might be allowed TO
return to his old Maryland home. Mr.. Camp

The case created qulsean excitement among
