A free colored man belonging in Rochester,
N. Y, has been Kidnapped and his present
legal owner at Macon, Ga, demands $500 for
him. There are four applications before the
governor Of New York for interference in be-
half of free citizens of that state, Kidnapped
and held as slaves at the South In one Of
these cases the governor of Virginia being ap-
peaed 10, admitted the facts, but said he had
no power to interfere. 1t is, we suppose, a
stubborn fact that northern ireemen, black or
white, may be kidnapped into slavery Mt the
South, and there is no effective legal means of
redress. 1t is told that Gov. De Witt Clinton,
after unsuccessfully appealing to the governor
of Virginia, many years ago, to restore kid
mapped man, threatened to send an army Of
New York soldiers into the Old Dominion to
bring him away by force, and that thereupon
the slave was delivered up and restored to his
home and freedom. In this case the negro
had been a playmate of Gov. Clinton, when
they were boys together.
A colored man named Cook was assaulted
in the streets of Washington, Sunday night.
His assailant was arrested, but Immediately
discharged, as no white evidence appeared
against him. Snch is law IN the national dis
trict and under the shadow OF the national
capitol.

THE FAIR of the Worcester Lyceum and Lii
brary Association opened last evening at the City
Hall, and fairly eclipsed every display of the kind
that has previously been heldin Worcester. The
old hall was never before in such gay attire. The
walls and ceiling being profusely decorated with
flags and streamers, and the tables loaded with
such display of rich and rare, costly and curl
Gus articles as we have never witnessed at any
similar exhibition.
The ran .e of tables for the display of goods
extends entirely around the hall, and from the
rich and tempting variety offered by the fair la
dies who preside over them, the most fastidious
taste may be gratifed the largest purse depict
ed with all the ease imaginable. From the plat
form, which is also appropriately decorated, a
volunteer band dispenses eloquent music, and
the centre Of the hall affords convenient and
roomy accommodations for promenades and eos-
sip. Altogether the affair reflects the highest CT ed
it upon the public support for the liberalty, and
good taste of all who have had hand in its pre-
paration, and we cannot doubt til at such taste
full and generous bestowal OF labor and means will
meet generous response from our citizens, who
in making their purchases, may be assured that
they aiding to establish one Of the most worthy
and useful institutions that our city can boast.
We understand that the Committee have in pre-
paration series of beautiful tableaux for exhib-
ition on Wednesday or Thursday evening, which
will add vastly to the attractions of the fair To-
day, the doors will be open at P. NJ, and the
tickets will be dime only, and this evening
the admission will be 10 cents. Tomorrow, the

MACHINE FOR SMELLING CoRN.-We have
within few days, examined a new machine
for Smelling corn, which for cheapness. eff.
cheney, and the perfect manner in which il
does its work, exceeds anything of the kind
we have ever seen. 1t is perfectly simple in
its construction, easily managed, requiring We
ry little power, and may be worked by bow
or woman with perfect ease. 1t will shell
hundred bushels of corn per dav, and will
remove every single kernel from the cob, with
out injury to the corn in the least. 1t also
leaves the cob in as perfect state as ii was
made by nature. The work is thorou ghly and
perfectly done, and we can see no way for i'm
provemeat. Another feature of the machine
is. that it will she'll any size corn, without
chan ing the machine in any part We saw
the same one shell our common sized corn and
the largest size Of Southern corn, with perfect
ease. Every person who has examined the
machine, ~pronounces it perfect in every
part
We noticed two or three persons examining
the machine yesterday, apparently farmers by
occupation, who, as the machine turned off
the work, were wild with joy, uttering excla-
nations Of astonishment and surprise. There
have been before this, Inventions for sbeling
corn, but the process has been one OF Jam
ming, grinding and crushing, injurious to
corn, aud leaving more or less of the kernels
on the cobs. Not SO with this. A cart load
OF cobs may be looked over, and not kernel
of corn will be found. This is the only ma
chine that will shell corn for seed without in
jury to the grain. The small and large ends
may be shelled, leaving the center untouched
all ready for seed We might go on pointing
out the advantages of this curious machine,
but we prefer to ask our readers to cell at the
corner of Friend and Market streets, and ex-
anime it for themselves. They will find every
statement we have made to be true to the let
ter. Every farmer should, and will ere long
ewn one of these labor saving machines. The
proprietors are prepared to sell rights to States
and Territories. We see no reason why one
who takes State to sell may not realize for
tune III short time. 1t is one OF those things
that must and will sell. For further particu-
lars, see advertisement in another column
Boston telegram.

SEVERE SToRM.-The Atlantic went out
over the New York bar at o'clock. Sat-
urday, and encountered fearful storm which
ragged till about u o'clock at night, and doubt
less occasioned the loss of vast amount of
property, and it is feared many lives along the
Jersey coast. As yet there are reliable reports
of but two wrecks. The packet ship New
York. from Liverpool, with an assorted cargo
and three hundred passengers, went ashore
near Barnegat, and is full of water. The
wreck hes thirty miles from Squan telegraph
office, and the roads are almost impossible.
The people at Squan are doing everything
sengers.
About three miles South of Barnegat there
is an unknown ship ashore. with mast gone
men were seen upon her deck on Sunday, and
surf boats and men sent to the assistance OF
the sufferers.
