his subject. Not content with silent rebuke,
our reioub:able questoner demanded again,
why don't the preachers do such things
now a days." and curling HI, lips with a sheer

A MAYOR CIRcrAvENrED.-The mayor Of

a stop to the driving Of fast horses through
the principal streets OF the city. SO. in com
pany with a posse Of policemen, he walked
deliberately through the middle of jefferson
avenue beautiful wide street, which is gem
orally the course for trotters. Arriving al TIE
end of his promenade, the worthy Mayor was
fa;igued, and gladly accepted the invita- ION
of j gentleman 10 take seat il his cutter
No so pner was he seated than the horse broke
/ into a 2.4o pace. and the conSerya.or OF the
public morals found himself flying along a, a
speed quite destructive of any thing Ike dig
nifty and entirely subversve of municipal dis
cpline. The proprietor and driver of tie
sleigh made the most strenuous efforts 10 stop
his horse, and pulled upon the lines till his
arms were lame, which every body knows is
the way TO stop one of the American troters,
but the animal could no. be induced to tarry,
and dashed on. TIE o.her fast ones in the
, street seeing the mayor set the example. al
once entered into the contest, and merry
time was the result. Tie owner of the horse
has since expressed his extreme regret that
his animal should have behaved SO badly, and
threatens TO sell him. while the mayor has not
been seen promenadng the avenue.

A WHITE SLAVE FROM VIRGINIA.-We re
ceived visit yesterday from an interesting
little girl-who, less than a month since, was
a slave belonging to Judge Neal, Of Alexan
dra. Va Our readers will remember that we
published letter, addressed by Hon. Charles
Sumner to some friends in Boston, accompa
nving da5uerreotype which tina. gentleman
had forwarded to his friends in that city, and
which he described as the portrait OF real
Ida May"-a young female slave, SO white
as to DEFY the acutest Judge to detect In her
features, complexion. hair. or general appear
ance, the slightest trace of negro blood l.
was this child that visited our office. accompa
MED by Mr.. Charles II. Brainard, in whose
care she was placed by Mr. Sumner, for
transmission to Boston. Her history is brief,
ly as follows: Her name is Mary Mildred
Bots: her father escaped from the estate Of
Judge Neal, Alexandria, six years ago. and
took refuge in Boston. Two years since he
purchased his freedom for $500, his wife and
three children being still in bondage. The
good feelings of his Boston friends induced
them to subscribe for the purchase of his fam
lily, and three weeks since, through the agen-
CIV of Hon. Charles Sumner the purchase was
effected, $500 being paid for the family. They
created quite sensation In Washington, and
were provided with a passage In the first
class cars in their journey to this City, whence
they took their way last evening by the Fall
River route TO Boston. The child was eShib-
tied yesterday to many prominent individuals
in this city. and the general sentiment in
which fully concur. was one of astonish-
ment that she should have ever been a slave.
She was one of the fairest and most indispu-
table white children that we have ever seen.

call the attention OF our readers 70 this estab-

they are not likely to supply the demand for

they are largely extending their operations,
such notice seems almost saperfuous One
thing seems evident, that fair trial of thei.
plows is all TIE recommendation they need
Within the past TWO or three years they have
erected new buildings, fitted up a steam en-
CINE. and otherwise added largely to their es-
adjustment, but tie demand for their plows is
still nearly double what they can supply

ever handled, would do Well to give them a
