white heirs. The girl was sold with the othel
negroes, and her new master treating her very
hsrshly, she escaped to Ohio. She found nj
difficulty in making her escape by public con
veyance, as she was so white as not to be sus
pected of African blood, and we'll dressed and
intelligent. At Cincinnati, she found home
in Christian family, and became interested il

An officer on the United States ship Dale, one
of our African squadron, writes that fever and
starvation were among the evils to which the
crew had to submit; the first lieutenant died
and at one time there were eighty cases Of
fever on board. The Dale is one of the SLOW
old ships, like the African squadron generally
The extent of their service consists in visiting
Madeira to take in water and provisions BY the
time they get to the African coast, their sup
plies are nearly exhausted, and they put back
to Madeira again; 80 they vibrste slowly be-
tween Madeira and the coast of Africa, keep
ing out of the way of the slave ships, and doing
as little to embarrass the slave trade as is re-
uuired of them. The officer on the Dale, de.
scribing the inactivity and ennui of the service,
writes:
"There is no recreation for the mind, no ex.
ercise for the body, nothing to eat, and 30.
where to 20. No cities to visit; no civilization
no churches; no divine worship. To be kept
ia such condition for two years will make q
man heather"

Since the war upon distillery milk commenc
ed, the pastures around Brooklyn are filled
with stump tailed COWS, sent out from the dis.
tillery stables to recruit. When first turned
out, it is said, they looked aghast at the yer.
dant spectacle before them, having no recollec-
ton of anything of the sort. At length, after
careful shutting and cautiously tasting, they
fsmiliarized themselves with the article, and
concluded that it might answer as substitute
for swill.
The committee of the New York city Gov
eminent on swill milk ascertsined several new
facts by their first days Investigations one of
which was, that the COWS never get drop of
pure water from the time that they enter the
stables, but must drink the swill or nothing.
They also ascertained that the cows, when no
longer valuable for milk-that is, when just on
the point of dying-are butchered and sold in
the city markets as No. beef
The largest storehouse at Kansas city, Mo-,
owned by Robert Campbell, recently fell mass

building was almost instantly in ruins. Capt.
Wheeler, of the quartermaster's department.,
was in the building, but swung himself out by
q rope and escaped in remarkable manner.
