FREE WHITE MAN IN SLAVERY
We have just heard circumstance
which portrays the beauty of Slavery and
affords caution to all Northern people
to be ware how they enter Southern
State. In December last, company of
stroliing play actors visited Caltaruagds
county, in this state, and entertained the
people of that vicinity by performing in
the various villages that are growing up
there. Among other places, they visited
Linden, where resides family by the
name of Barnhart, who were among the
early settlers, and are Mohawk Dutch.
This family had a son who was not
celebrated for the delicate whteness Of
his complexion, but who had acquired a
knowledge of the violin, which was a
source of great satisfaction to himself
and friends. When the play actors came
10 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 admired by the actors, and alter
some negotiation, was hired by the ac-
tors to travel with them and grace their
orche, ira. They went into Pennsylya-
mia, and The term of the engagement of
Barnhart expired, when he was re-enga-
ged for short time. They went into
Maryland, and so on INTO Virginia. =
Since then, until some three weeks
since, nothing has been heard of the
young and inexperienced fiddler. The
first in n'elligence of him was, that the play
ac'ors, when they got into the interior Of
Virginia sold him into slavery. where lie
is now held in bondage under that sale.
This could scarcely be credited at first,
but enough has since been learned to in
duce helie(on the part of the father of
Barnhart that il was even so, and when
our informant leG! Linden, few Meeks
since, the old gentleman was making
preparations for following his son and
extricating him from servitude, Such
is slavery. Buff. Er,

The quality of the stock used in my plows
is not equalled by any establishment in the
West, and the plows are finished in very
superior style.
Having been engaged for eighteen years
in the manufacture of plows for use in the
Western States entirely, l can confidently
say to emigrants from the Eastern States,
that these plows 7oiH sc0ur and work per-
