A LITTLE INCIDENT --It was about half
past 9 O'Clock in the morning, the dense
fog through which We had been running
for the last four or Eve hours had rendered
the track SO slippery that we had lost con-
siderable time in climbing up grades: but
we we're now running down a moderate
grade, and as the fog was gradually clear
ing away, we ventured to increase our
speed, and our engineer ever attentive to
bis business. was constantly watching the
track ahead, which was occasionally enyel-
oped in clouds of watery vapor. As We
were thus running along, observed the
engineer raise his hsnd to the cord attached
to the whistle He held il for a moment.
and then gave the signal to "brake." Tur-
ming my eyes in the direction which we
we're moving. was barely able to discern
some small object upon the track consid-
cradle distance ahead, but could not make
out what it was. A moment later the en-
gineer repeated the signal to "brske," in
that peculiar manner which is instantly rec
ognized by the experienced brakeman, as
indication of imminent danger. The en-
CINE was reversed as If BY magic, and as the
steam was applied the driving wheels whir-
led round in an opposite direction to that
in which the train was moving Inow dis

tie child, apparently unaware ofits danger.
The almost constant screaming of the whis-
tie. with which the engineer sought to
frighten the little one from the track, seem
ed only TO amuse it.
| The wheels Of our engine grated and
hissed upon the iron track, unable 10 Stop
the train, which, owing to the slippery con-
dition of the rails it was certain would send
US far beyond where the child was stand
ing, before we could stop. Thus we rush
ed on with the almost certainty that the
next minute that innocent, unsuspecting
child. too young to know its danger, would
be mangled corpse. Turning my eyes
to see if there was no one near TO save it,
l saw lady, who seemed to be almost fly
ing towards the child, but one glance show
ed me that the engine must reach it before
her. The engineer had left his post, and
was running rapidly along the frame work,
to the front of the engine. In an instant
he was crouching upon the "cow-catcher, f"
with one foot upon IFS lower bar. his hand
extended towards the child, which, at the
very moment it would have been crushed,
be caught by its little arm, raised it from
the track, and bore it along in safety. One
more minute, and the child, uninjured, was
restored to its mothers arms. f-s

Gently bought a farm Of 500 to 600 acres,
near Colesville, Montgomery county,
M~aryland-a few miles from this city, as
his future residence. II is also reported
that in the event of his receiving the
Democratic nomination for the Presiden-
cy in 1856, he will run as a Maryland,
and not as a New Hampshire candi-

ton of seeing the Presidential confede-
rate of Atcbison, Stringfellow and the
other Missouri Ruff ms, co any act du-
ring his term of Office, which we or the
people of New Hampshire could approve.
But the announcement above gives us
hope. Utterly as Frank Pierce has Civ

slavery-infamously as he has conspired
to betray his country, and destroy the
last hope of Freedom on this continent
shamelessly as he has turned his back
on the land of his birth, on the father
that begat and the mother that bare him,
he shrinks from burden:ng the land he
has betrayed. with the guardianship of
his bones. TIuer than usual, his native
instinct tells him that his last resting
place should be in the land of slaves

The Equestrian performance, by La
dies, was, as usual, the browning attrac-
ton of the day. The dense masses Of
people, which eneircled the riding ring.
and occupied every available point of
observation, showed the interest taken in
this part Of the show. Only four entries
were made and where all rode so well,
It would beinvidious to make distinction.
We think our agricultural friends
might heighten the interest very much,
if they were to bring, on each return of
the fair, any and every thing which they
think worthy of notice. There is too
much sensitiveness felt, whenever any
one fails TO receive a premium. The
very object of fairs, is to beget a whole
some rivalry and there is no cause for
jealousy, or Encouragement, when the
article exhibited, by n man, is pro-
nounced, by the awarding Committee TO
be not quite equal to another. Bring a
better one the next time, if possible /; if
not, bring as good, and on that occasion
it may be better than any other exhib-
tied.

Voice of a Father of the Country.

James Madison, in the Convention
which framed the Constitution of the
United States, objected to the word OF
'~'slaVe" being used in the clause which
was inserted for the rendition of fugi-
tives. His objections were agreed to by
the Convention, and the milder term of
persons owing service or labor" appli-
cable alike to white apprentices and
black slaves, was put in our Constitution.
Mr.. Madison said on that occasion:
81 object to the woId slave appear
ing in a Constitution which, l trust, is to
be the charter of freedom to unborn mil
lions /; nor would L willingly perpetuate
the memory of the fact that slavery ever
existed in our coudtry. 1t is a great
evil /; and, under the providence of God,
L look forward tn some scheme of eman-
cipation which shall free us from it. Do
not, therefore, let US appear as if VIC re-
garded 1t perpetual, by using in our free
Constitution an odious word opposed to
every sentiment of liberty"

The Buffalo Commercial Of the 10Th
has the following paragraph:
Yesterday morning, as we learn, there
were Ten trains of live stock-catlle,
sheep and hogs-sent east from this city
over the New York Central Railroad
In one train there were 90 cars, and in
each of the others about 16. One train
of heavy freight, about 90 cars, also ar
rived at noon, drawn or propelled by
four locomotives. The amount of live
stock arriving here, both by lake and by
rail, sent hence eas by the above road
is immense, and exceeds what any one
coul1 imagine who is not acquainted
with the facts. A large number of the
cattle change hands at the regular pas
turing yards before re-shipment, on spec
ulstion for tie New York, Albany and
Boston markets, and this kind of trade is
rapidly increasing. Eastern dealers in
many instances finding it decidedly for
their interest to stop here before going
further west.
