ATTEMPTED CAPTURE OLA FUGIrIvE SLAVE
The Deputy U. S. Marshal for the Western
District of the State, and Mr.. Stump, of Vir-
ginia, visited BIairsville on Thursday for the
purpose of securing fugitive slave, who, it
was known, had taken up his abode in that
village. The man was found and taken into
custody, but large crowd collected around his
captors and rescued the fugitive. He was
hurried quickly to place of concealment, and
he has ere this taken passage for Canada per
the underground railroad. Stump and Depu-
ty Marshal were assailed by the crowd, and
drove out of town. We are told that the Vir-
ginia gentleman discharged his revolver at his
assaiIants, but no man was injured, that is pre-
sumed to be a mistake The name of the fu-
gitive was Richard Newman, and he had been
IA resident Of Blairsville for nearly six years.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT TROY.

Our sister village, Troy, was visited by a
destructive confagration on Monday night
last, which laid waste almost the entire bust

the fire was discovered about Soclock, in the
store of v NJ. & IT. F. Lone, and that all et-
forts to subdue it were unavailing, until the
whole block, and number of bull dings on
Canton street, were destroyed.

DISTRESSING CASUALTY.

On Wednesday last, the wife of Mr.JAcKsoN
ALEXANDER, of Burlington township, was SO
badly burned by her dress taking fire that she
fingered in great agony until next morning,
when death released her from her sufferingS.
The accident occurred by her dress coming in
contact with the stove, as she was passing it,
and igniting. She was alone, with three small
children, and the youngest, frightened at her
efforts to subdue the flames, clung to her.
With mothers devotion she placed the child
outside Of the door. before looking to her own
safety. In the meantime she was horribly
burned. When assistance arrived she was
found outside the door wrapped up in blank

bar Henry j. Raymond, of the New York
Times, writing from Washington, speaking of
Douglas, says that at an early stage of his de-
fection-while he was having interviews with
the President. in the hope that they might
como to some agreement-the latter remarked
to him that it was very perilous for public
man to put himself in opposition to his party,
and that he must take the liberty of reminding
him OF the fate of Rives and Tallmadge, who
rebelled against the policy of Gen jackson

BEgr BY an arrival at st. Joseph, Mo-, from
Fort Kearny on the 3Oth ult., we have later
news from Camp Scott BRIGHAM YOU'VE, it
is reported, had notified Col JOHNSTON to
leave the Territory of Utah by the 10th Of
March, otherwise his troops would be annihi-
lated. In anticipation, probably, of his i'm
perative command being implicitly obeyed,
You've had also rendered sufficient provisions
to last the army to the States. In view of
the fact, however, that supply train of one
hundred and sixty wagons, accompanied by
several companies of troops, was only short
march from Camp Scott, there was very little
likelihood of the magnanimous offer being &C
cepted Immediately.

THE REMOVAL OF JunGE LoRIxG-The re-
moval of Edward 6 Loring from the Office of
Judge of Probate, by Governor Banks, at the
request of the Massachusetts Legislature, was
an act which is approved by all candid minds
just in proportion as the subject is under
stood
Mr.. Loring was not removed for his con-
duct in the extraditon of Anthony Burns, but
for insisting on retaining Federal Office, the
holding of which the State Legislature had
declared incompatible with the duties Of the
Office he held under the Government of Mas
sachusetts. If he had simply resigned his
United States CommissionerShip, however ex,
ceptionable might heve been deemed his rul-
ing in the Burns case, he might have remained
Judge of Probate to his lfe's end without fear
of molestation.
The question strikes US as very simple one.
The Legislature had a right to pass law de-
caring the two Offices Judge Loring held in
compatible, and Judge Loring had a right
though, of course, at his peril-to decline a
voluntary compliance This he has done, with
full knowledge OF the consequences he is
the victim of his own act, and all the outcry
of his friends and published protest, have fail
Ell to awaken commSeration for him-Eren
