Recovery or Stolen NIoney-ExtraOrtiInary
SnQncllY of n Dog.

IL Will be remembered that Mr.. Hoen, of this
place, was robbed on Sunday evening. Nov.
Ith. OF $3.50 and large amount in county
warrants, promissory notes, etc. On Friday
last, Nov, 18th, SLIGO of the money, aud his
papers, were found about four hundred yards
from the mouse, near Santa Rosa creek. con-
cealed by bushes and covered in the sand
Inc circumstances attending this discovery
evlnce some most extraordinary sagacity in one
OF the canine race. Mr.. Hoen is the owner of
very fine setter dog. who is q great favorite

portunly TO prove his gratitude for his favor

10 The house carrying in bis mouth an old worn
out hat, which was immediately recognized by
MIS- Valley as the one worn by the man who
drew the knife on her at the time of the rob
berry. This increased the confidence of Mr.
Hoen that the dog had more knowledge of the
affair than he himself had. 1t was accordingly
suggested that the dog should be followed to
see what he would lead them to. Mrs. Valley
following him. lie ran up the creek some three

cluster OF bushes near the bank. where he com.
menced hunting about and lnanifesting that in.
tense anxiety peculiar to the species when near
their game. On coming near him, she gave
nun some encouragement, when he. with some
effort, owing to The entangled brush, brought
out p'ir of pantaloons, and a moment after.
wards brought out another pair, and again
barked in the bush. Mrs. V, then came near TO
him. when she could see still another pair of
pantaloons, with sack stuck into one leg At
this discovery. she become somewhat excited.
and possibly little alarmed. and hesita,ed to
go any nearer. She then called to Mr.. John
Ingram, who was passing near. and informed
him of the discovery. He approached aud
took ont the remainder of the bundle. which.
on examination, was found to be Il coarse sack
nearly the size Of a fifty pound -four sack into
which the money ($l.l60) aud the papers had
been placed and tied up, aud put into one leg
of the panialoons.
Altogether. we regard these as most extraor-
binary circumstances. There we're two men
entered the house at the time of the robbery.
Three pair of pantaloons were found with the
stolen property, indicating plainly that there
were three interested in the robbery This
fact is still more strongly substantiatrd by the
amount found being exactly one-thrd the
amount stolcn.-S0,ta Rosa Democrat.

EMANCIPATION OF THE SERFS IN
RUSSIA.

Notwithstanding assertions to the contrary, il il
manifest that there is very little opposition on the
part Of the nobility of Russia to the plans OF the
Emperor and his Council Of State for the enamel
patton of the serfs. This is remarkable. Not only
because we generally look for opposition to any
such radical reforms from the privileged classes,
but because this Russian scheme is probably the
most liberal system Of emancipation ever devised
in any nation on a large scale. 1t gives the Serfs
many important privileges, particularly an allot,
ment of land upon which they may obtain their
subsistence. There is no doubt that such a meas,
ure can be much better carried out in IL cold eoun'
try. like Russis. than it could be in warmer lati.
tudes. Ia Russia the emancipated person must
work, and work diligently, too. or he will starve.
lie cannot lie out nights under the bushes. and
feed by day on the spontaneous products Of the
soil.
The inducement which has led the nobility and
land owners to come forward 30 generally and
prom pity to aid the Government in its work Ol
elevating the condition Of the peasabtry is doubt
less q patriotic devotion to the advancing progress
of the nation. They are sensible that the eleva.
ton of this class to freedom will stimulate the
general prosperity of the empire, develop its
strength, and unfold it's resources; and therefore
it is that they give their aid in the work.
A commission is established in each province or
government for the direction of the work, consist
ing, in the words of the Imperial rescript. Of two
members chosen from among the most enlighhn-
ed Of the nobility and the most intelligent of the
land owners. chosen by themselves, and one intel.
ligent land owner from among the most enlighten.

and one member delegated by the Minister of the
Interior. The President of the Board is to be
chosen by the commissioners themselves from
among their own number.
A letter from St. Petersburg states that a new

ANTI.sLAvERY IN DELAWARE.

The Ne,s, n journal issued at Milford, Della.
ware, has an able editorial in favor Of emancipa.
ton in Delaware.
In order to make good its cause, il institutes o
comparison between Newcastle and Sussex coun-
ties-one free and the other slave. Ia the former.
improved farm land is worth over fifty three
dollars per acre, while in the latter, similar land is
worth but from seven to eight dollars Ter acre.
1t cites the following cases, as showing how Sla.
very repcls population:
about three years ago, a band Of thres hund
red Swiss emigrants arrived in New York, with
all their arrangements made to settle in Delaware.
They were farmers, with money to buy land and
hearing that land was cheap in Delaware-a State
settled by their f~athers-ihey concluded TO settle
there but finding. ON their arrival, that Della.
ware was a slave State, they passed us BY. settled
ia Ohio. and helped to augment the wealth Of tina,
young giant of the Union"
The News proposes a remedy thus:
Now if the people of Delaware, at the next
session of the Legislature, will pass an act that,
after the following fourth Of July. all children
born or brought into the State shall be free at the
ages Of eighteen and twenty one, it will give Della.
ware the character of a free State at once, affect
no STAKEHOLDER seriously in his property, and bring
down into Kent and SUSSEX q rush of emigration
from the Industrious freemen Of the adjoining
States. Land here will at once command advanc.
ed prices, aud there will spring into being among
US a spirit of enterprise to which we are yet
strangers. We have thought much md long OF
this matter, and can show that an act Of the
nature mentioned above would. on the very day il
is placed on the statute book, increase the value
of the real estate of Delaware five millions of dol
lars. 1t would give an impulse to our great public
works which we are now struggling almost against
hope to accomplish, and instead Of the crushing
inertia which is now resting on us, VIC shall soon
realize the life, activity, and prosperity. which nov
characterize the new States Of the grcnt North
west"

THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.

For several months past we have devoted espec.
ial attention to the character and action of this
most numerous and important branch Of the
American Church. This for very obvious reasons.
Its numbers and infuencs-its direct connection
with slavery through its members, ministers
and conference.-the strong democratic
tendencies found among the masses of it's members
which have induced many of its unprincioled
ministers and leaders to deny most positively the
always well authenticated fact of slaveholdinr in
the church, and the awakened sense of Justice in
large numbers of ministers and members in the
b~ody-These and other facts have made it imper.
alive upon all anti.slavery men to keep their ewes
fixed in careful watchfulness upon every move.

No other body has it in its power to do so much in
behalf Of the slave. and none other has done 80
much Of late years to keep his chains firmly riy.
tied.
The result Of this close scrutiny of the action of
this church in its various departments, is highly
encouraging. The anti. slavery sentiment strongly
p~ervades the whole church in New England. In
New York the fidelity Of Mr.. IIosmer and his an.
sociates has been rewarded with unexpected sue,
cess. Even the Philadelphia Conference, one of
the most Pro.slavery in the connection, with its
actual shareholders among ministers as we'll as
members. stands abashed and COMPOUNDED before

heretofore. and the hitherto leading conservatives

to hold them back from christian speech and action
on this subject.
Even here in the west, some, Of the recently

breath, have spoken clearer and stronger than be.

churches will speedily demand something vet
more decided and efficient. True THE action has
not been all we could desire. Far from il, New.
ertheless tho period since the last General Confer.
ence has been marked by great progress in the
right direction.
The Pittsburgh Conference within whose bounds
our habitation is cast. has always been highly
conservative. Even this body at their conference
last week passed a resolution which we suppose
was intended to be understood as numbering their
body amor & the anti.slavery Msthodists. The fol.
lowing resolutions were adopted, as the embodi.
ment of their action. We think the conference
will hardly be charged with fanaticism on their
