Is it not strange, Messrs. Editors, that the FREE
qaenr accounts there are of death by hydropho-
ba do not prompt the owners of dogs. or the au-
thorites, to some decisive action to suppress this
curse from the land.
Why, in the name of- reason and all that is
dear in life, are these useless "curs" allowed to
go at large, unmuzzled, exposing your children
and mine, and all the dear little ones that add
such charms to.our streets and to life. momenta-
rily to the most horrible death that ever afflicted
mankind.
Surely, man has Affections, sad, severe, and va
Iious, enough without this one. Is it not enough
TO know thot dogs will bite, and that the conse-
quence is most painful and agonizng death,
and that there is no earthly remedy
1t certainly seems to me that if the Owners Of
dogs possessed spark of humanity or reason, be-
yond that of the dogs at their heels, their duties
would be sufficiently plain, in this matter, and
would promptly be performed. But II there are
any who do not possess sufficient qualifications Of
humanity and reason to make clear to them
their duty, guardian should speedily be APP
pointed for their guidance, in the shape of
"pOster," or otherwise, which shall plainly
set forth TO them the laws, and their duty,
and the penalty for the non performance thereof.
And for all such of their canine brethren as are
found at large, unaccompanied by their two leg

sure this last operation, premium of five or ten
dollars should be offered for every dead dog-I
mean the four-legged ones. And such laws, PEN
aties, and premiums, should be affixed TO our
permanent statutes as shall make a pretty clean
sweep of "caninity," especially the four-legged
portion. And until a safe and infallible remedy
is found for hydrophobia every dog should be re-
garded and dealt with as the most intolerabe nui.

Our correspondent should bear in mind that
good, wholesome, and effective Jog lao was pass
ed at the last session Of the Legislature but it
was left optional with the cities whether the law
should be enforced therein, or not AS yet, the
City Council of Worcester have omitted to accept
the law, and, therefore, it is imperative, here.
We sre assured, that, in the towns and cities
where it is carried into effect its operation is
most salutary, and that it is highly popular, ex
cept with those who wish to keep worthless
dog, to be mere public nuisance and annoyance
to their neighborhood II our correspondent
would remedy the evils OF which he complains, he
should punch up the members of the two boards
of the City Council to accept the Dog Law.

ANARR"w EsCAPE.-As some men were NOV.
ing in Uxbridge, near West River, so called, on
Tuesday, the 9th inst, they discovered at the
bottom of the stream little boy about three
years old, son of Mr.. Patrick Kinnan. When
taken out of the water life was nearly extinct
and his breathing very faint, but, by the timely
application of friction and other remedies, he was
at length restored.
1t was not known how long he had been in the
water, but had he not been discovered at the time
he was, the accident by which he came so near
losing his life must have proved fatal.

A WHITE SLAVE RECLAIMED OWING TO
MRS. STowE's KEY TO UNCLE Tom S CABIN.
Benjamin DAVIS & Brothers, of this city, re-
ceived few days since letter from person
named Miles Owen, which contains the fol-
lowing statement
In 1884, one German Goodloe sold H. I.
Miller, in Natchez, then Postmaster there,
a yellow woman aud her child. When Mil
Ter died the slaves became the property of
Owen by purchase. In 1899, Owen sold the
woman, whose name was Atwell, and in l847
he sold the boy to g. D. Ragland of Alaha-
ma, by whom he was taught the trade of
brckmason. In 1852, the boy ran off from
Ragland and went to Pittsburg, where he
assumed the name of George Washington,
passed himself off as a white man, and mar
red white woman, by whom he had child.
A man named Shaw, also mason, who had
worked in Alabama, saw the boy in Pitts
burg, but could not place him until he read
Ragland's advertisement in Mrs. Stoves
"Key to Uncle Toms Cabin" when he at
once recognized him as Ragland's property.
Shaw Immediately communicated with Rag
land, and received instructions to watch the
BOYS movements, which he did for five years.
Last winter he missed him, but on inquiry
found that be was in st. Louis, Mo. He im
mediately proceeded to Alabama. had an in
terview with Ragland, who sent man with
him to st. Louis. When they got there, they
found that the boy had gone to Brunswick, in
the same State, where they followed and sue
ceeded in arresting him. They then took him
to Alabama to his MASTER Shaw returned to
Pittsburg, but Immediately on arriving there,
the boys wife had him arrested "for attempt
ing to decoy off and carry into bondage her
husband" He was thrown into Jail in de-
fault of finding bail to the amount Of 5000,
and has been there since last March The
penalty for the crime with which he is charged
is fine Of $1,000, and confinement in the
Penitentiry for not less than five nor more
than twelve years, and he will suffer this un-
less he can clearly show that the boy was a
slave.
The object of Owen, writing to the Messrs.
Davis, is to find some trace Of Goodoe, and
ascertain from him from whom he purchased
the woman Atwel and her child, and procure
some witness from among the family who
owned them, who will 20 to Pittsburg in Oc-
toher to testify in behalf Of Shaw. The boy
was too small in 1884 to remember anything
Of his master, and it is not known whether
the woman Atwell is alive.-RiolmoNd South

The production of gold in Australia for the
past year is set down by the English authorities
at 100000 OOO The production in other coun-
tries is estimated as follows California. $685.
OOo 900 Russia and Siberia, S2O,OOO,OOO; other
parts Of the world Sl5 ZOO, 900; total, 100000
600. We thus have two hundred millions as the
gold crop of 1857, and the actual amount is likely
to be rather more than the estimated aggregate.
At this rate, two thousand millions of gold will
be thrown into the monetary circulation of the
world during the next ten years.

large flies which feed on decayed meat at this
season of the year, and died few DAYS af-
