CAPTURE OF RUNAWAYS AND AN ABOLI
ZIONIST

From the Cambridge Democrat, Aug. 4
The negroes, seven in number, who ran off from
their owners in this county Saturday night week
| were taken by party Of four gentlemen on last
Saturday morning about seven miles above Greens
bourough, in Caroline county, together with q
white man who has been living in this county for
two or three years past called Hugh Hazelit, who
was found in company with the negroes and lodged
IN Denton Jail. They were all brought to Cam
bridge on Monday last in the steamer Kent under
the charge of the sheriff and deputy of Caroline,
and deputy VIM. II. Grace of this county.
There was assembled on the wharf large crowd of
persons from the town and country; and from the
deep feelings of Indignation which manifested itself
in the countenances of all present, it was easily
perceived that it was with great forbearance and
difficulty they were persuaded, in their own minds
to keep from Lynching the scOundrel Hazelit on
the spot; but the love of law and order prevailed,
and the villain was conducted to the jail and there
chained to the floor, where he will be allowed to
wait until it shall be what course the law will
take in the case.
In the course of the evening, meeting of the
most respected and influential men from almost
every district in the county took place in the Court
House John r. keene ESQ.,, was called to the
Chair, and DR.. HI. G. Grieves was elected Secreta-
ry. A committee of three, composed ofD. NJ. Hen
ry, Elias Griswold, and j. W. Dali, Esqs., was APP
pointed who reported series of resolutions which
were afterwards re-committed to the committee,
which was increased to twenty, and authorized to
report on next Monday.
resolution of thanks was voted to the captors
OF the negroes and to the officers of Caroline coun-
ty who secured their abductor and also to those of
this county who have interested themselves in their
recovery Very eloquent and argumentative speech
es were made on the occasion by Judge Stewart
DR.. +. ?. Phelps, +. W. Thomas, Elias Griswold,
ID. M. Henry, James Wallace and c. F. Goldsbo-
rough, Esqs. The meeting adjourned till Monday
next at II O'Clock, and it is hoped that there will be
a large attendance.

1t is gratifying to be able TO state that despite the
great financial crisis and commercial revulsion
through which we have lately passed, the business
done during the last six months at our Custom
House, has been to an extent indicative of highly
favorable prospects, commercially, during the ap-
preaching Fall. We are aware that an impression
prevails among our citizens, that there has been n
heavy decline in the business done at our Custom
House, thus far in the present year, but as will be
learned from the annexed recapitulation and COM
parative statements, the amount of our impora-
tons for the past six months compare favorably,
not only with those during the first six months
of the preceding year, but also with the business
done at the Philadelphia Custom House, for the
same period. The receipts for duties at this port
from the LIST of January to the 3Oth of June-the
most active season of the year-durng each year
since January l, 1852, have been follows

THE EXPLOSION OF THE FALLS CITY.


From the Pittsburgh Evening Chronicle, Of August Sd
As already announced by telegraph. the Falls
City burst cylinder head IS miles below Memphis,
few days since, and but for large ice box which
was standing between the cylinder and the boilers,
the result would have been much more disastrous.
The accident occurred near Austin, while the pas
sengeners were at dinner, who numbered about
three hundred, and produced the greatest conster-
nation. They all rushed out, and one of our in
formans states that it required all his strength to
prevent his being pushed overheard. One man fell
to the lower deck, but escaped with a sprained
ankle.
There were four of the crew blown overheard, of
whom three drowned, one, little boy, who was
employed in the cook house, saved, but he died
subsequently. Besides, seven of the crew were
scalded, two of whom could not survive. The lit
tie boy swan nearly half mile when the steamboat
Langley came up, and a rope thrown to him.
He caught hold of it with his hands, but they were
so badly scaded that he could not them, nd he
put the rope in his mouth and was thus res
cued. The passengers raised a subscription for
him. He endured his suferngs without muir
muir and died before the boat reached Memphis
The Falls City then came up wheel. Nearly
all her passengers left her at Memphis and came to
Cairo on the Fanny Bullitt. The Falls City blew
out her packing when short distance above Match
eZ, but no one was injured by it.

AN EXTRAORDINARY STORY.

the director of the prison, ''unless you apply for

the arm of the chaplain, with whom he conversed
in low tone, he descended the staircase of the
prison, and with firm step, crossed the court
yard, which led to the platform where the scafold

T COMMUNICATIONS.

Jfessrs. Editors A paragraph published few
days since in one of the morning papers, noticing
the number of bodies of the unknown dead which
have been taken from the inner basin, during the
past eight ten weeks shows the necessity of the
measure heretofore advocated by the press, of hav
ing ''dead house" erected in proper location, a
home for the deposit of all unknown bodies,
where they could remain reasonable period for re-
cognition. In many the bodies would be
recognized by acquaintance or relatives, and the
trouble of taking them to ''Potter's Field" and
their subsequent dsinterment be prevented. We
call to mind numerous instances where dying
man has been found the street Death followed
and as soon thereafter possible, twelve ''good
and true men, were called, and in period almost
as brief as the time occupied in writing this the
sage conclusion arrived at that he "died from

gentleman who happens to ''sit on the BODY as
coroner, will be careful to indicate the clothing,

papers, day or two will disclose the fact that some
loving or beloved relative of an affectionate cir
cle has unfortunately met his death and has been
hurried under the sod, perhaps to fall an immediate
prey to the young gentlemen whose delight it is to
examine the''frame divine the spacious table of
the dissecting room in public or private med

The fact is, our whole system, so far as regards
the Coroners duties, wants revision The Coroner's
Office is one of great responsibility; and we think
we safely say, without fear of contradiction, that
there have been parties appointed to the position,
whose sole ambition was, not to know their duties
and to perform them with becoming respect to the
dead and to the living, but to pocket certificate
for certain amount, which, it is expected, will in
due time be honored by the authorities. Let the
people think of it The first step may be taken by
the Council in the erection of "dead-house''

Whether 'rS LARDNER did or did not

and others, the utter impracncahility OF crossing

such an opinion; that they shook their wise heads
and shrugged their wise shoulders, and wondered
that men of sense could be found to embark in en-

GENTLY attest. But the feat was accomplished
nevertheless, and paddle wheels and propeers now
