Of great Importance remaining before the L.

entirely satisfactory to the great mass of the

Roberts, man of color from Baltimore, was
requested. by vote of the Convention, to make
a statement of his experience during the war
of1Sl2-'14. We were not present, nor have
we seen in any paper report of his narrative.
The Washington Sentinel, however, thus no.
tees it: 'He made his statement in an ear
nest and impressive manner, relating the Incl
dents Of his captivity and condemnation to
death by the British, of his exchange and re-
turn home, and of subsequent services under
the celebrated privateer commander, Captain
Thomas Boyle, of Baltimore. His recital was
received with applause"

situated in the rear of Bergfeld's tin and stove

HISTORY OF ALCoHoL.-Alcohol was invented
nine hundred and fifty years ago, by the son OF
a strange woman, Hager, liz Arabia. Ladies
used it with powder to paint themselves, that
they might appear more beautiful, and this
powder was called alcohol. During the reign
of William and Mary an act was passed, en-
couraging the manufacture of spirit. Soon af-
ter intemperance and profigacy prevailed to
such an extent that the retailers in intoxicat-
ing drinks put up signs in public places, in
forming the people that they might get drunk
on a penny, and have some straw to get sober
on. In the 10th century, distilled spirits spread
over the continent of Europe. About this time
it was introduced into the colonies, as the Unit
ed States were then called. The first notice we
have of its use in public life, was among the
laborers in the Hungarian mines, in the fif-
teenth century. In 1881, it was used by the
English soldiers as a cordial. The alcohol in
Europe was made from grapes, and sold in TIA
ly and Spain, as medicine, in bottles. under
the name of water of life. Until the sixteenth
century, it was only kept by apothecaries as
medicine.

EMANCIPATING SLAvEs-Wm. T. Weathersby
of Texas, died recently, leaving directions in
his will that his three slaves should be liberat-
ed, provided with a certain amount of money
and sent either to Liberia or one of the north
ern States. After his death his sister, Mrs.
Sherwood, entered suit for the possession of
the slaves, on the plea that the State constitu-
ton prohibited freeing slaves in the State
The Supreme Court has now decided that the
will is valid, and that the purpose of the con-
siitution was only to prevent freed slaves from
remaining in the State. The slaves must,
therefore, be freed, the money given, and the
executrx lose, for her trouble. all the money
she has spent in the lawsuit
