Fugitive Slave Rescue in Wei
liug1On.

An Oberlin correspondent furnishes US
with the particulars of fugitive slave res
cue which took place on Sunday afternoon
in Wellington.
Two strangers had been staying in Ober-
lin some weeks. and their constant commu-
ncation with Deputy U. S. Marshall made
the Oberlites suspicious. A farmer, said
to be in the plot, residing some distance
from Oberlin, hired colored boy to work
for him. Whilst the negro was on his
way to the farm, he was arrested by Depu-
ty Marshall Low, of Columbus-kpown as
one of the Green Co., squad of man-hun-
ters-who, in company with two Souther-
ners, bore the boy off to Wellington. I'm
mediately OF word being conveyed to Ober-
lin strong party set out in pursuit, and
on coming found the Wellington House
blocked up and surrounded by a crowd,
headed by constable with q writ against
the MarshaIs party for kidnapping. The
crowd rapidly increased, the house was en-
tered and filled with men bent on the res
cue of the negro. Ultimately the South
erners consented 10 let the boy go on con-
dition they were not injured by the crowd.
The promise was given and the boy soon
speeding on his way to Canada.-Cleve-

UNITY.-The Statesman a short time
since rebuked Col. Foiney for favoring the
admission Of Kansas into the Union next
winter as Free State, and said that if
that was his game, it might "as we'll set
down Mr.. Forney with the Black RePublI-
cans, first us last" To this our Democrat
ict friend Of the Logan Sentinel, replies as
follows:s
1--WE will set down Mr.. Forney in no
such company. He demands the fulfill
ment Of our party's plig ghted faith. If
Kansas was worthy of the favor OF admlss-
ion with the Lecompton Constitution she
is shurely more worthy Of the same favor,
having magnanimously spurned that m
strument, brought about by fraud, perfdy
and all manner of crimes, upon asking 1t
with a constitution of her own SELECTION
Instead of placing Forney among the
Black Republicans, We will have to place
Won Mr.. Smith, among the Lecomptonites.
You seem 10 have turned your back upon
Mr.. Douglas and his splendid struggle, in
which be crushed Lecompton, vindiacted
the integrity of our party, and is bounded
by minions and tools of one who eat ms
own pledges and forfeited the confidence OF
the Democracy and mankind.
So the Statesman has gone over to the
Lecomptonites.

forth ripe cucumber.

on the English Bill.
Better for the South than Le.
compton.


l repeat, there is nc objection to tie
Conference 6ilithat does not obtain against
the Senate bill. There are o6jections
against the Conference bill. The Senate
bill, the Green Pugh amendment, de-
clared the right of the people of Kansas
at all times TO alter, reform orabolish their
form Of government, in such manner As
they may think proper, Congress hereby
disclaiming any authority to interfere" DC,
which truism seemed like an apology TO
Black Republicans, in and out Of Kansas,
for admitting her under the Lecompton
constitution, and suggestion to them to
come in, and Immediately thereafter to
change their constitutions policy which
some of them advocated.
Again, the Senate bill made no provi-
sion about Kansas in case of her refusal to
come into the Union under the LecomptOn
Constitution. The Conference bill is free
from the Green-Pugh amendment, and de-
clares, if Kansas refuse the terms therein
proposed, she shall not be admitted into
tho Union till sit is ascertained by census,
duly and legally taken, that the popula-
ton of said territory equals or exceeds the
ratio of representation required for mem-
Der of the House of Representatives, of the
Congress of the United States decla-
ration by law Of sound general principle
which may tend to suppress those frequent
conventions that have destroyed all peace
in Kansas and in Congress, and keep her

the Kansas Nebraska act and the Dred
Scott decision, Southerners have right to
carry and hold slaves.

Spiritualism- me Illinois Strange
Story.

We published some weeks ago IN &C.
count of the death of little girl near Pc
oria, Illinois, of hydrophobia, caused by the
bite of cat. This strange part of the oc-
currence was tho alleged appearance to her
of her dead sister and the prescription by
the spirit of the child of medicine which,
when taken, at once arrested the terrible
spasms. A letter from Mr.. Henry S.
Woodland, father of the girl, appears in the
Boston Traveller, written in answer to IN
qu,ries made of him by incredulous friends
in Berlin Mass, and relating still more mar
yelous matters. The letter is dated Mt.
Hawley, Peoria co., ILL.,, August 22d. We
quote the closing portion, and readers can
Judge of the credibiity of the statements
We shall not endorse them. The father
says!
/ would not now write merely to CRAFTY
idle curiosity; but / consider the circum-
stances connected with the death Of my
child of such marvellous nature that do
not hesitate to give the world its truth. In
the first place, then, the child had three Of
the most horrid fits that were ever witness
ed, and as she came out of the third one,
she excIaimed-"Oh! mother, sister has
come and will tell me what to take so that
shall have no more fils-let me get of
the bed and fix the nedicine." She then
called for the nitric acid, blood root, sweet
oil, winter green, rose water, camphor and
slippery elm. She mixed the medicine
herself, in accordance with her sisters d.
rection, and took it, and, strange to say, she
had no more fits. She commenced taking
the medicine about O'Clock in the even
ing, and died about 8 in the morning. She
continued to say that her sister was with
her up to the moment she died. One cir
cunstance witch IS connected, is moro
strange than all the rest. Soon after TAX
inp the first dose of the medicine, she said,
"Pa, you must pull one of my teeth for sis
ter says the tooth is poison l asked her
to wait until morning, but the little inno-
cent child looked up with tears in her
eyes and said, "Oh, Pa, sister says
you are afraid l will bite you but
1 won't bite nor scratch you, but if you
will not pull it out sister says she will put
something on it to eat it out" She was
then standing upon the floor, with some
five or six of the neighbors in the room =
she placed her hand by her side and stood
motionless for two or three minutes, and
one of her teeth dropped upon the floor
She exclaimed "I told YOU sister would eat
it out" She not more than five minutes
before she died sat in my lap, put her
arms around my neck and kissed ms; want
ed to lay Oh the bed with her mother; turn
I'd to her and laughed, and died without
struggle or groan. We're to write the
history of the child's life, it would t!l vol
ume, but have given you brief outline
Of her latest hours.
Yours with respect,
HENRY 8. WOODARD.

FOrney on the Washington Union

When l spoke to the electors at Tarry-
town, N. Y. did so upon the deliberate
expectation, that from the impenitent cal
umniator and convict of the New York
Herald, down to the pensioners of the
Washington Union. would be abundant
ly traduced and misrepresented. An Ad-
mnistration which assisted, not inconsid-
erably, to elevate to the power which it
has basely abused, has not hesitated to
make an honest difference of opinion the
pretext for prescription extending TO my
business, and to my most intimate relations; :;
and l am not surprised at the spirit which
my remarks at Tarrytown have created 10
that quarter. This is to state that l shall
calmly await the accumulation Of all the &C
cusations of the Administration and its
agents, when, in my own way, and IN my
own good time, will prove all that have
written and spoken as to the gross betrayal
of great principle and solemn pledge:
and still further establish the justice and
strength Of the position Of the Press, and of
myself.

Rev. J. j. Brayton, pastor ofa Univer-
salist Church at Lawrence, Mass, is ma
king trouble in his denomination by prech-
ing theology akin to Parkerism in its es-
innate of the Scriptures. He believes In
present inspiration and does not allow that
Matthew or Paul had any higher inspira-
ton than is now possible, or are to be re-
ceived as infallible guides in matters Of
faith. The Trumpet denies that man
holding these views can be recognized as
Universalist or be allowed to occupy spul-
pit.

SUCKING Up WATER FROM SAND
Livingston, the African traveller, de-
scribes an ingenious plan by which the
Africans obtain water in the desert:
"The women tie bunch of grass to
the end of reed about two feet long
insert it in hole dug as deep as the
arm will reach, then ram down the wet
sand firmly around it. Applying the
mouth to the free end of the reed, they
form vacuum in the grass beneath, in
which the water collects, and lin short
time rises to the mouth 1t will be
perceived that this simple, but truly
philosophical and effectual method, might
have been applied in many cases, in diff
emf countries, where water was greatly
needed, to the saving of life. 1t seems
wonderful that it should have been now
first made known to the world, and that
it should have been habitually practiced
in Africa probably for centuries. It
seems worthy of being particularly no.
ticed, that it may be no longer neglected
from ignorance. 1t may be highly i'm
portant to travellers on our western
deserts and prairies, in some parts of
which water is known to exist below the
surface"

false wretch who lured her from the true
path only to fling her aside after a brief
season as a worthless thing
"Thank God for misfortune" ex-
claimed Mr.. lIeston, in the silence of
his swelling heart, when intelligence of
this sad event reached his ears. 1t came
to him first from the lips of his own true
wife, who had grown daily dearer to him
since the blessed hour when she had
given her hand and heart together
Misfortune Oh, no" he said, cit was
not misfortune, but blessing. The sun
was shining still in the sky ;a,only few
clouds haG hid from me his living face.''
Almost tearfully did Morris Heston
gather his little children into his arms
that evening-looking from them to their
mother with such loving glances that
half wondering and half joyful the happy
spouse felt new delight swelling in her
heart that gave new beauty to her pure
countenance.
=" bless God, dear Mary" said the
young man, as she came to his side by
the magnetism of his love, ''that you are
my wife-my true, loving, faithful wife,
and the mother of my precious babe"
Very softly that happy wife and moth
er laid her lips upon the forehead of her
husband, the touch thrilled him to the
utmost of his spirit.
Was it misfortune that clouded our
young friends life ? No, no. Not mis-
fortune in the darker scnse-the seem
ing evil was only blessing disguised.
And SO, to the right thinking, the right
feeling, the true-hearted, will in all the
darker dispensations of life prove them
selves blessings. Let us be patient,
hopeful, trusting, when the sky is shad-
owed, nor tremble 1.-THE storm that seems
desolating the earth. The cloudy ten.
pest is only transient condition of ma.
ture-there is above all the perpetual
sunshine.
