VIM. Penn ON THE SURRENDER OF FUGITIVE
SLAyEs.-A curious document has recently been
brought to light by G. L. Ward, Esq, of To-
wanda. Pa. by which it is shown that VIM.
Penn, the Quaker, did not believe in harboring
and keeping runaway slaves. when their mas
ters demanded them. The document referred
to is said to have been accidently discovered In
one of the public Offices of Pennsylvania, con-
tanning the early archives of the State. 1t was
marked on the outside, " Nm. Penn 10 the Sus-
quehanna Indians" and is as follows:
"My good friends-Tbe people of New York
having again wrote earnestly to me about the
prisoners taken by you, especially ye woman
and ye boy, saying that they bought them fairly
Of the Governor Of the Carolina, who sold them
for slaves.-And they being very good friends
and neighbors, and all under the same King, I
must therefore desire you to deliver the said wo-
man and boy to The bearer hereof, Sylvester,
who will carefully carry them to New Castle,
and there put them on board of vessel bound
directly for New York-and by so doing. you
will greatly oblise your very good friend and
brother, WV. PESs."

A SURE AND SAFE CURE FOR REMIT
n tent and Intermittent Fevers, and also a
most effectual cure for all the secondary dis
eases accompanying these fevers, such as Liver
Complaint, Neuralgia. Indigestion, and Enlarge
,nent of the Spleen. or Ague Cake, For inter
mittent Fever, or Fever and Ague, these pills
are undoubtedly the most efectual and safe rem
edy in the krown world. They may be taken
at any stage of the disease, as well IN the cold
stage as in the hot. These pills not only stop
the Chills and Fever, but they remove from the
system all secondary affections which remain
after the use of other remedies, to reproduce
the disease again. In this respect we claim a
superiority over every other remedy which has
been offered to the public. There is paper
round each box under the label, containing
short history of the causes of the fevers OF this
rountry and the effects and operation OF the
remedy which propose. These pills are

A MODERN CINDERELLA.-Ahout two months
ago, M. de Rhet-, gentleman OF large prop
erty in the neghborhood of Lyons. on leaving
the theatre after the performance of the "E,oiie
du Nord. picked up white satin shoe. On ex-
amning it, he found that it must have been made
for foot quite small and elegant He asked
the box keeper if any one had announced the
loss of the shoe, but was answered in the mega
tive. He took i, home with him. The more he
saw it the more he admired it; and he jumped
to the conclusion that the owner, having so
small foot, was. in all probability, extremely
beautiful He showed the shoe TO all his friends
and acauaintances and caused them to make
enquiries after the owner. But he could gain
no clue to her. At last it struck him that, as the
person who had lost it could not have walked
home, he might gain some information from the
cab-drivers. After eight days spent in inquiry.
he found a driver who remembered having
driven young woman who had lost shoe in
the Rue Thomassin. Nj. de Rhet- thereupon
made inquiries at every house in that street
and he at length discovered young work
man, who blushingly confessed that the shoe
was hers. As he anticipated he found she was
remarkably beautiful, and oninquiry he learned
,ha, her character was very good He fell in
love with her, and as his propositions were hon.
orable, the girl listened to him. A few days
ago they were married.

A BLACK J"KE.-General c. gave his black

friend soon found himself under the canvas. and

with bright idea, he extended his hand with
genuine Southern "How dye do, Uncle -
The ape clasped the negro's hand and shook it
long and cordially.
Sawney then piled his new acquaintance with
interrogaiions as to his name, age, nativity, and
former occupation, but eliciting no replies be-
yond knowing shake Of the head a merry
twinkle Of the eye. (rhe ape was propaby medi-
tating the best way Of tweakng the darkey' s

Touch STORM SroRY.-The Peoria Gil. }
Chronicle, of Feb. 9TH, learns from farmer
who resides on the south side of the Illinois
river, on the Bluff, some particulars Of the storm
of the goth January:
His cattle. though they were enclosed in a
circle of straw stacks and haystacks, were so
much affected by the driving blast that they re-
fused to eat. The snow was driven between
their hairs. and coming in contact with the skin,
was for a moment melted, then frozen, until the
whole covering of the animal seemed one
broken armor of ice, which did not disappear
on many for four days after The snow, melt
ing on their foreheads and running down. formed
huge iccles that passed down the face, and
reached far below the nose, giving them the ap-
pearunce of the beast with ten horns; in many
other instances the broad sheet of ice falling
over the eyes blindfolded them effectually.-
Their nos,rils were filled with frozen snow that
had been driven into them by the violence of
the wind. The quails that had gathered about
his barn-yard as last resort were frozen to
death, or SO benumed that he could take them
up with his hands, as they sat on the fence
sleeping with stupor His barn-yard chickens
We're mary of them frozen. and wha, is singular,
in nearly every case they were found with their
bill. wide apart as they could be sundered, and
the mouth filled with solid ice. He has driven
his cattle and teams over his fences. the snow
being on level with them, and SO compact as
to sustain heavy load.

February %, 1855.

SILAs E. Burrows, Esq, Hongkong:
My DEAR Sir: We arrived a, Simoda, January
Goth, and found the town totally destroyed by an
earthquake on December Esd, accompanied by
a flowing in of the sea which swept everything.
The beach was lined with wrecks, the town a
mass OF ruins, and barely mark by which to
distinguish the streets or portions of particular
buildings. The Russian trigate Diana was an
chored behind Center Island at the time of this
occurrence, and received enough injury TO be-
come a total loss. | enclose you copy of her
commanders account OF the affair, which is most
interesting. We afforded The Russians every
assistance, and sent them three months provis-
io0s and clolhng and invited the officers 10 stay
on board our ship while We remained, which
was accepted by several. They were quartered
! at Hida. thirty miles from Simoda. and receive
what the japanese can give them in abundance
They will remain at Hida till spring when they
hope some mode may offer of their getting to
Russia We invited them all to come with u.s.
but they preferred to remain, having made a
treaty with the Japanese, and have secured the
ports Nangaski. Simoda. and Hacodadee. The
French whale ship Napoleon III had narrow
escape from capture. She bought to al Simoda
few days after arrival, with two Japanese
| from Hongkong, which am informed, you ad-
vised the captain TO land there, bu, Capt. Lopez.
of that ship, hearing of the proximity of the Rus
slams, put 10 sea twelve hours after his arrival.
Six hours after this, detachment of the Diana $
men came in from Hida to take her. and were
much disappointed at her departure. We have
also seen letter to Mr.. Burrows. from Tatnoske,
| the Government Interpreter at Simoda, who says
| that Dee-yee-noo- whom MIR. Burrows took
10 Japan. is well and happy at home with his
| friends there.
