A FREE WHITE MAN IN SLAvERY.--We
have Just heard OF circumstance which
portrays the beauty Of Slavery and affords
caution to all Northern people to bewale
how they enter Slave State. In De-
cember last, a company of strolling play
actors visited Oattaraugus county, in
this State, and entertained the people in
that locality by performing in the various
villages that are growing up there
Among other places, they visited Lin
den, where resides family named Barn
hart, who were among the early settlers,
and are Mohawk Dutch. This family
had a son who was not celebrated for the
delicate whiteness of his complexion,
but who had acquired a knowledge Of the
violin, which was a source of great sat
isfaction to himself and his friends.-
When the play actors came to Linden,
young Barnhart visited them, and took
with him his violin to show what he
could do in the way of music which is
akin TO the drama. He played, was ad.
mired by the actors, aud after some ne
gotiation, was hired to travel with the
company and grace their orchestra. They
went into Pennsylvania, and the term Of
the engagement of Barnhart expired,
when he was re engaged for a short time.
They went into Maryland. and so on in
to Virginia. Since then. until some
three weeks since, nothing had boen
heard of the young and inexperienced
fiddler, The FIRST intelligence of him,
was, that the play actors, when they got
into the interior Of Virginia, sold him in.
to Slavery, where he is now held in bon
dage under that sale. This could scarce
| ly be credited at first, but enough has
been learned to induce belief on the
part of the father Of Barnhart. that it is
even so. and when our informant left
Linden, few weeks since, the old gen
tleman was making arrangements TO fol-
low his son and extricale him from his
seryitude. Such is Slavery.
How TO GRow EARLY MELoNs AND Gu
oUMBERs. The expense of growing mel
ons or oucumbers in hot beds, is not re
paid by receipts from sales, hence, it is
desirable TO grow them in cheap way,
aud, at the same time, have them ready
for early marketing. We give the follow
ing as a good method:-Prepare hot
bed Of mild, not strong heat; cut pieces
Of turf one foot square, and three inches
thick. Lay them on the bed, turf side
down; plant five seeds on each piece Of
turf. When the plants have grown, and
made their second leaf, lift each hill, or
piece of turf carefully on a spade or fat
shovel. aud transfer Il TO the place in the
garden where il is designed to bA fruited;
have ready box frame, one foot high.
an two feet square; place it over the hill,
dip strong coarse cotton cloth 10 boiled
oil, and tack il over the top; then bank
around the box on all sides, with fresh
warm horse manure. II the weather is
mild, nothing more will be necessary; II
it is very warm and clear sun, give the
plants air, by raising tho south edge OF
the box daily during the middle Of The
day, or say from 10 to | O'Clock If the
weather is cold, attention must be given tc
see the horse manure banking is well KEEP
up. Tho top must have a board fitted OF
every night, and taken of during mid day
aud If cloudy, be careful to give air spf
foient to prevent the plants from damp
ingoG
We ara aware that melons and cuoum
bers can be, aud are grown in pots, re
Ipotted several times, &C., but we thiul
the above plan better, less troublesome
and mora certain of success. unless in tn,
hands of a skillful gardener.
