TnE RuNAwAY SLAVES IN CANADA.-The
Canadians, it seems, are becoming heartily
sick Of the runaway negroes, from the L. 5.
There is certainly no portion Of the U. 5.
where the negro finds the prejudice of caste
more severe and oppressive than in Canada.
The old British grudse against the U. States
induced the Canadians years ago to open
their arms to these fusitivcs with the idea
that Jonathan would be spitcd and annoyed
by it; but, like every other scheme OF this
kind, it has proved the greatest plague to
the inventors We shall doubtless, in very
few years, see the Canadians initiating Hi
nois and some other western states, by pas
sing laws forLidding entirely the imuiigfa-
ton Of negroes. The subject has already
been discussed in the Canadian Parliament,
and alIudins to it 4 few days before the re-
cent session terminated, Col. Prince, v.ry
prominent and influential member, is report
ed by the Toronto (oioHist as uttering sem
timents Ike these:
"ue took occasion to speak Of the negro
fugitives as being most immoral and unprin-
cIpled persons, and suggested that they
should be separated from the white popula-
ton, which they contaminated by their vices.
The people of this country, moved by
Christian sympathy Tor the oppressed, had
extended them the hand Of welcome; but
instead of rising in the scale Of being, they
retained all their filthy and dishonorable fea
lures, and should be sent to live by them
selves on one Of the Manitouin Islands, or
somewhere else, where the whites would
not come in contact with them"

The perl-hunting fever which recently
"broke out" in New Jersey, seems likely to
become wide spread epidemic. The Gin.
cinnati Times says:
There is mine Of wealth lying at our
very doors Pearls Of the largest size and
of the most beautiful appearance can be
found in the shells of the common muscles
so abundant in the Ohio river and other
streams in this vicinity. This is no humbu..
We are led to believe that we have field
for industrious fortune hunters, right here
ono that will beat the Jersey pearl fisheries
call hollow" We will give the facts:
Cincinnati is favored with most devoted
and industrious naturalist. We mean Mr..
David ii. Shafer. For many years it has
been his constant pleasure, and part Of his
vocation, 10 collect the natural curiosities to
be found liz our hills and valleys, brooks and
rivers. lie has paid especial attention TO
chronology, and has, after repeated expert
ments, succeeded in giving polish to our
common muscle shells which makes them
among the most beautiful Of fresh. water
shells He has sent 4 great many Of them
to distant countries in exchange for shells Of
other climes, and they invariably elicit the
highest admiration. In performing this labor
Mr.. Shaffer has often found pearls secreted
inside the muscle. They were generally
small, however, and he did not think it
would pay to search for them. Since the
recent discovery of pearls on the Jersey
shore, however, he has made closer exami-
nations, and has found several large and
beautiful pearls. He exhibited to us this
morning two magnificent ones.
One is white, slightly tinged with crimson.
It is of an oblong, conical shape, and nearly
half an inch long! 1t was taken from
shell picked up in the Little Miami river,
about ten miles from the city. The other,
and we think the prettiest one, is of oval
form, full half an inch in length, and one
third Of an inch in breadth. 1t is brilliant
purple, and was taken from n shell found in
the Ohio river, near the city. Mr.. Shafler
SAYS they are the most beautiful pearls he
ever saw, and from the prices paid for the
Jersey pearls, they must he Of great value.
These are the facts. Mr.. Shaifer is conf
dent that the fresh-water muscle shells
abound in pearls, and his opinion is worthy
OF great weight If it is confirmed, pearl
gatherers will soon flock to the beds of all
the rivers that entertain the hitherto con-
demned fresh-water Oysters.

CHICAGO AND THE BuRGLAEs- Mayor
Wentworth, Of Chicago, is in peck Of trou-
bles. When elected, he promised the city
that they should have the best police IN the
country. But never before has Chicago
seemed to have police less efficient In
the way Of burgaries, particularly, the city
is at present afflicted utterly beyond all pre-
cedent. From fifteen to twenty-five houses
are entered every night, and yet no arrests
are made. The Times, Press, and Tribune
publish daily careful accounts of these bur-
glaries, and have got the people in such a
state of excitement on the subject that they
are talking Of Vigilance Committee. Mean
time Wentworth, whose sleepy police are
blamed on all sides for not arresting such a
deplorable state of things, is put to his wits
end to avert the popular odium and con-
tempt His paper is filled with the most
absurd and amusing apologies Tor the police.
One day he says, the burglars have been
hired by Pinkerton & Co.. to break down
the public police. So that the private police
may get the job of taking care of the thieves.
Next day, the Uemecrat assures US, that the
majority Of the burglarics reported in the
papers are all JOsh-prctendcd burglaIies
only, got up to bring the city government
into contempt. In half the cases, ne assures
the good people, they have been frightened
by young men who have affairs of the heart
with the hired girls, ard have been mistaken
for burglars in consequence Of making I'M
usual noise in etfec,ing their surreptitious
clearances from the premises through rear
doors and windoI S. The unfortunate deni-
zens Of Chicago who wake up in the morn
ing to find their watches and silver spoons
abstracted, may not be able to appreciate
the sport, but really, to outsiders, the Demo

The New Governor of U,ah.

The following i an extract from an article
in the \. Y. Tribune, on the recent appoint
ment of Col. Cumming as Governor Of Utah:
Col. Cumming is, we believe, native OF
Georgia, and resided for = long time at Au

for the year during which the yellow fever
created such dismal ravace among its iulab-
itants, and it is told. 20 his credit, that in
the most alarming periods Of its virulcnce.

the pcstilence a total disregard Of personal
danger, that won him a high esteem from
all who witnessed or heard OF his exeriions.
He takes his family with him To Utah to
make that Territory his permanent residence;

The SPIDER AND THE ToAD.-The follow
ing singular relation is furnished by q cor.
respondent Of the Boston Traveller, as having
been witnessed by person now living,
though occurring more than forty years ago,
about sixteen miles from this city: "The
narrator said that while walking in the field
he saw large field spider, considered of
the most venomous species. contending with
common-siZcd toad. The spider being
very quick IN its movements. would get up
on the back of the toad ard bite it, when
the toad, with It's fore-paw, would drive of
the spider. 1t wea d then hop to plantain,
which was growing near by, and bite it, and
then return to the spider. After seeing
this repeated several times, and noticing
that each time the toad was bitten it went
to the p'antain, the spectator thought he
would pull up the plantain and watch the
result. lie did so. Being again bitten.
and the plantain not to be found, the toad
soon began to swell and show other indica-
tons oil being poisoned, and died in short
time. IL p'antain, which grows so abundan-
ty near almost every dwelling in this v;ci-
nifty, was such an immediate and effec;uai
remedy to the toad for the bite of the spider,
can we not reasonably infer that ii would he
an aiftctuai cure for man for the bite Of the
same insect!"

steamer Burnt-.3so Lives Lost,

A fearful steamboat disaster occurred
about IL miles from Quebec, last Friday
evening. The Steamer Montreal, one Of the
regular packets between Montreal and Que
bee, about an hour after leaving her dock at
the latter city, took fire, and in a few min
utes was burned to the waters edge. She
had on board at the time 500 passengers,
most of them being Scotch emigrants, sent
out by the St. Andrews Society. The stea-
mer Napoleon, which was but three miles
off at the time, FASTENED to the rescue, and
succeeded in saving 175 Of the passengers,
who, with few that succeeded in swimming
to shore, were all that escaped. At latest
accounts over 800 bodies had been recovered.
Among the lost was Mr.. Phillips, the heavy
lumber dealer of Three Rivers, known to
most of the lumber dealers Of New York
and the West.

Scott, and Cedar counties, which have for
some months been greatly troubled with
horse thieves, on Thursday Of last week, ar
rested an old man named Benz. Warren, in
Cedar county, and after giving him trial

a tree. They then carried his body to his
wife, who seemed little moved by the "ac-

While the Topeka legislature in Kansas was
recently in. session, Gov. Walker, az our

to dissuade the aboiitionists to drop their
reasonable plan. His speed, on the occa-
SO, was fully reported, and has been pub
