held that the Castleton Board of Health was

so declare them and that the citizens of the town,
acting under the instructions Of tls Judicial body,
wore justified in destroying the Hospitals and

The New York KIDNAPPING CASE Mason
Thomas, who kidnapped a young colored man
named George Anderson, in New York city, few
days since, was arrested in Richmond, Va, on
Friday night of last week, and has been brought
to New York for trial, and committed for want
Of bail in the sum of ten thousand dollars An
derson gives the following account of the manner
in which the kidnapping was accomplished;
"a few weeks ago I was standing on the corner
Of Center and Leonard streets, when a man (Mr.
Thomas) came up and asked me if would like to
have work. answered, Yes and he SAID he
wanted colored boy to go in the country with
him and take charge Of circus horses; that he
would give as wages eight dollars per month and
board he did not say where he intended to GO, but
told me to meet him at the grocery store opposite
the next evening, which did. The next even.
ing he came, but was not ready to start for the
country until two or three days afterward. He
then came to me, saying he was ready, and l
went. On arriving at Jersey City ferry met
q iauYs VINO ne SaiQ was MS vile, anu we tnIee
started for Philadelphia in the cars. We rode all
night and all the next day, and found ourselves
at Richmond where we put up at the American
Hotel. Mr.. Thomas made me sleep the floor
in the same room with him and the lady, and
would not let me move out without he was was
me. The second morning after was there, Mr..
Thomas took me out, as he said. to see the
city, and to attend to some busihe,; at Office
down town. When we arrived at the office there
humber of slaves there waiting to be sold.
Mr.. Thomas left me at this office, saying he would
be back in a few minutes. While he gone,
the man who kept the Office came to and
asked my name, and who was my previous own
er. told him that nobody owned me; that l
was only travelling with a gentleman to attend
circus horses. The parties in the office then took
me into rear room to strip me and see if there
were any marks on me to chow l was slave
They told me my master had left me to be Sold
In a short time Mr. Thomas came back, and he
and the man who kept the Office had words
about my not being slave. Their disagreement
led to both Thomas and mysefbeng arrested and
taken before the Mayor l was locked up among
a number of slaves and fed on 'mush.' A few
days afterwards 1 heard l was to back to New
York. The lady who was with Thomas left him.
When the officers came from New York 1
willing that they should let Mr.. Thomas off l 4
am eighteen years of age, and was two years at
Mr.. Petersons school in this city"
