Underground Railroad.

1he Underground Railroad occasionally
brings out rich things. Yesterday beau
tiful mulatto woman from the Maryland
shore, near Baltimore, called upon Mr.. Lo
guen.. She was fugitive from high life
in Slavedom. Her dress, address and con
veration, showed she had been valued and
cared for. She naturally enquired into the
quality and amount of business at the Sy.
racuse Depot. Mrs. Loguen took the record
of the names of the fugitives that had cal
led at her house, and commenced reading
them. ...---..-
"That is the name of my husband" she
exclaimed, with enthusiasm, when a Ger,
tain name was read.
| Mr.. and Mrs. Loguen instantly called to
mind an accomplished semi-colored man
they had sent on to Rev. Mr.. Mansfield
& Co., at Auburn, three weeks ago. She
told her story as follews:
She had been married about six weeks.
Her husband and herself were house slaves
of two notable and wealthy families in
Maryland, and were greatly attached
About three weeks since her master sus-
pected that she intended to escape with her
husband, and arrested her and put her in
Jail. She managed to notify her husband
Of her case, and he instantly fled to avoid
similar fate, and probable sale TO the far
South. Her mistress and daughter were
greatly attached to her, and procured her
release, and in three days thereafter she
fled on foot to Philadelphia, with the aid Of
the man whohelped her husband off. An
ti-Slavery men put her on the road, and
now for the second time she has got on the
track of her husband. l=z'a .Us-
Mr.. Loguen at once thought it his duty
to 90 TO Auburn with her and help find her
husband. On her arrival at Auburn, he
placed her in the parlor of one of the best
hotels, and called on Mr.. Mansfield who
went with him TO another clergyman
to whom he was directed. He was at
meeting, and Mr.. Loguen saw colored
in distant part of the meeting who resem-
bled the fugitive, and sent person to
bring him to the lobby to see Mr.. Loguen.
The poor man was siezed with tremor.-
The fact was, he was an excellent machin-
ist, and instead of going to Canada, had
hired out at good wages at Auburn, rather
instructed to do SO by M. Loguen, if found
a chance
"They are after you Fred," said Mr.. Lo-
guen "but hold up your head-rll take you
where you won't be hurt"
'sWho is after me?' af
"Who but your master could be here af-
ter you? But don't be scared-follow
me and you will be safe." -7l
"Can you ightg' r's.a go sa--
alt depends on who 1 am to fights"
"Will you fight shareholders if they have
come to take you9" ee
"Yes-I would fight regiment of them"
By this time they had arrived at the ho-
tel, and Mr.. Loguen proceeded directly TO
the parlor, which was richly furnished and
gas-ighted. The fellows feelings were
worked up to the highest point By being
led to such place, where he could expect
to see no one but stakeholder. On en-
tering the room, he saw his beautiful wife
alone. He was so overcome that he al
most fell on the floor, exclaiming at the
same time, ut is my wifep They rushed
and happier bride and BRIDE
groom could not be found 10 the world
wen venture to say.-Syracsse Standard.
