FAILURE TO CONNECT ON THE Z. G. r. R.-TEN
RUNAWAY NEGROES CAPTURED.-A day or two ago
or two parties called at the office of the United
States Marsh al, in this city, to obtain information
concerning the negro slaves that had run away from
Mason county, KY, few nights previous, and
were nowhere to be found. 1t was supposed they
had come here, and concealed in this vicinity
but while plans were formed for recovering the fu-
gitives, intelligence received of their capture
at point nearer home
1t appears that free negro woman, residing in
this State, on the Ohio river, nearly opposite Mays
vile, had made an arrangement with the slaves to
leave their master; had indeed, influenced their
minds with desire for freedom, and taught them
the best means of escape. They were to come, at
certain hour of the night, to certain point on the
river, where the womans husband was to be in
waiting with skiff, and bring them safely to this
side; the woman herself crossing over to lend her
personal aid to the enterprise.
The boat and the man were there, but the negroes
missed the locality, getting about mile below the
point, and not knowing what to do in the unex-
pected emergency. While they were in this per-
picked condition, party of Kentuckians who were
on their trail suddenly came upon them, took them
all captives, and carried them back to their mas
ters The kentuckians afterward arrested the free
negress and lodged her in JAIL whence, it is sup
posed, she will be sent to pententay for life Her
husband made good his escape.
The slaves had concealed themselves, according
to instructions. for nearly two days after their
flight, in which they would have been perfectly sue
cessful but for their Typographical blunder by which
their masters saved $4,000 or $4,000.

FATAL EPIDEMIC AT ALBANY, N. Y.-The Albany
Express says '"rhe malady prevailing as an
epidemic in Albany, has created CONSERVATION in
every grade of society, but not without sufficient
reason, when we consider the many victims it has
claimed Family after family have been called upon
to relinquish one of their sacred ties,
and in some instances, every tie has been severed
by its fatal ravages. Children have not alone been
made the unhappy victims, for, in numerous in
stances adults have shared like fate"
The Troy Times, of last evening, thus describes
the symptoms of the new malady:
"The patient is attacked with what at first re-
sembes an ordinary influenza, accompanied by
those general indications of physical weakness and
lassitude that follow severe cold. This feature
of the case soon disappears and is followed by a
glandular swelling, acute inflammation, and exces
slve soreness. In cases the final appearances
strikingy identical with those of black tongue
or .putrid sore throat Suppuration takes place,
and the gatherings become very extensive before
the fatal result supervenes.
CON consultation with prominent physician of
this city, since writing the above, we obtain the
opinon-for which he gives conclusive scientific
reasons-that the disease is type of the malignant
erysipelas which prevailed extensively in Western
New York some years ago, and proved exceedingly
fatal in its results until physicians had amilarized
themselves with it.'

move hands or legs, to perform any of his natu-

that he will never regain the use of his limbs The

THE JAPANEsE.-A letter from Nangasaki says:
"Nangasaki, and everything Japanese bears a
striking contrast to everything Chinese. You can
not be five minutes in Japan without seeing it is
progressive nation-the country towns, houses and
people, all show this. The streets are wide and
paved in the centre, houses open throughout on
the ground floor, with mating, formed in frames
fitting neatly all over the rooms. On this they sit
sleep, and eat and everything is kept scrupuousy V
clean. Behind each house is a small garden, with a
few green shrubs, and occasionally a fine tree.
The japanese are eager for knowledge. Never
to the changes and progress Of the world than they
are what would deem very barbarous, and while
they are ignorant of many common things-while
they still rip themselves up and shoe their horses
with straw, because ignorant of any other method,
they have jumped to the knowledge of certain
branches of science, which it has taken nations in
Europe hundred of years to attain. At Nangasaki
they can turn out of their yard an engine for rail-
way or steamer; Japanese captains and engineers
command their men-Of-war, of which three are
steamers; they understand the electric telegraph:
they make thermometers and barometers theodo-
lites, and believe, aneroids. Their spy-glasses
and microscopes are good and very cheap. They
have large glass mandatory, which turns out
glass little inferior to own. They have short
line of railway somewhere in the interior given bv
the Americans. Many of them speak Dutch, some
English, all anxious to earn everything is done bv
themselves, and when it is considered that it is not
much more than ten years ago since they made this
start, the advance they have made in that short
time is perfectly wonderful.
