of ivory derived from dead material must at some

and followed by little Whitfet dog, was brought to

thing up tree. It being nearly dark, the farmer
could discover nothing but the sbapeless mass some
wild animal lying far out on a dried limb. He fired
and by the scream which followed the discharge, he
knew it to be wildcat The animal dropped to the
ground, and tore away for dear life the whiet boldly
rushing after it. and keeping up constant strain Of
barking At length the cat took to tree again, and
while the dog watched. the farmer reloaded his gun,
and brought him down this time dead. The animal

MR.. LANES THEORY OF CoMErs-Prof j. c.
Lane ectured at Cooper Institute recently on the
g Mechanism of the Universe and advanced theory
Of comets which he claims as new. He supposed
them to be solid bodies, which by near approach to
the sun were rarifed. II we hold glass globe to the
light, where the ray strikes it first it is intense
than elsewhere, and radatng from this point, we
will see reflected rays oientimes curved. These may
represent the curved and burcated tails Of comets.
We see, then not real tails to these bodies, but
merely reflections not comets themselves, but merely
phenomena. After the conclusion of the lecture,
some gentleman present urged objections to Mr..
Lanes theories, A constant force, one said, if ap
piled to a revolving body, would accelerate its mo.
ton. Yet we see no such effects on the earth
Neither have we any right to assume that comets
surface is SO highly polished to reflect in the
ner indicated.

No property In Man.

EDITOR FREEMAN :-Vermont is erect =.
The Green Mountains are free! The passage
of the Personal Liberty Bill by the Legislature
is truly matter Of rejoicing to every true phi
lanthropist. Most nobly have they responded
to the ell Of the People. The Bill, or rathsr
the Law, covers the whole ground embraced in
the petition. 1t comp etdy wipes cut the stain
imprinted on the otherwise fair fame of tho
State by the passage Of the Infamous resolutions
of 80. Surely the world moves. Truly We
now occupy stand point which affords a good
opportunity to look back and note progress
Just think Of it! Ia ~ the two great politi-
cal parties, embracing the entire State, with
the exception of the Old Liberty Guard, passed
in substance the following: " The series Of
acts of the Thirty First Congress, known as the
compromise measures, the Fugitive Slave Law
included, are received and aequieseed in &c.
What was that Fugitive Slave Law3 Why,
"a law which made Vermont hunting ground for
Shareholders, and every maR hunter, if called
on. Now the Legislature, by an overwhelming
majority, passes II law making every slave who
finds himself ia the State, no matter how he
came here, absolutely, and to all intents and
purposes Tree.
Most heartily do We join with the last State
Convention OF the Republican party, and say :
l." We glory in the record which Vermont holds
out to the world on thc subject of Human
Rights. She has indeed mest emphatically
rcpudiated "the guilty phaatasy that there
can b. property in man."
The Rev. ~ Il. Johnston, in a lecture re-
Gently at Washington, raised an objection to
the third section, on the ground that slaves
could be put en- trial fox their liberty, and, for
aught that appeared in the Law, ii found to he
slaves by the Jury, could bo remanslcd into
Slavery. This conclusion, it seems to mt, is
incorrect. 1t will be readily seen by those who
will take the trouble to read the report accom-
panying the bill, that the Committee deny that
the word persons, us used in the Constitution,
can be applied to slaves. 1t isnot to be sup
posed, therefore, that when they usc the same
word, in precis " the same connection, they
mean slaves; especially when they had in the
FIRST section denied the idea that there could be
property in man. Again, it must be the height
OF folly to arrest person. under this section.
and undertake to prove him slave, far when
they have proved him a slave. they have proved
him free, Of course, Tor the sixth seetnm ex-
pressly declares that any sldue who shall GENE,
or be brought, or in any way DO in this State,
shall be free. Tho party, therefore, who un.
