AN ANTI-SLANEhf SOLbEOs IN
school has beeen established in Beroa, Kentucky
under the patronage of the ministers and church
es sustained by the American Missionary Assooia-
ton. 1t is decidedly and practically anti-slavery

half.
ToucuING.-Mr. Backus. a mute, editor of the
Canajoharie Radii, opens its editorial columns Of
Thursday, with this touching obituary
I'VE cannot this week fill our usual column.
Every time hitherto, before this. that we have sat
in the old place, to the now regular recurring du-
ty, we have had dear little fingers rambling along
our knees, or making stray snatches at the paper.
A little face. all lit with happy eyes bopeeping in
to ours. A little head, nodding as it shook its
curls, a mock 'by by, papa" and turning back
again to the sweet childish teasing. But now,
alas the little fingers are no longer here. The
littlo eyes are dim with a dimness that shall never
know the old lustre again, and the little curls are
yonder, beneath the sod that CLEANS so greenly
between the trees and the glimmering white tomb

An important decision was rendered in New
York city, by Judge Culver, on Friday, acknowl-
edging the inValidity of slave marriages. b.. N.
Warwick a colored NJ. E. preacher, was formerly
a slave in North Carolina, and was married, in tho
method of the slaves, to Winnie, also a slave, by
whom he had TIVE We children. In 1928 he was
set free. came to Williamsburg in 1881, and mar
ried another woman. His first wife has since be-
come free. and prosecuted him for bigamy. The
defence was that Warwick had no expectation OF
her ever becoming free, or he would have felt NOR

The Judge ruled that slaves being chattles could
not make contracts, and the first marriage was
therefore a nullity. AS Judge Culver is opposed
to slavery, this decision is regarded as very impor'
tant, because based entirely on the local laws Of
the Southern States.

The Worcester Spy publishes extracts from
letter from the Hon. Chas. Sumner, dated Paris
May 81, in which be says:
"At last, ! feel happy in health, which, il no
entirely assured. yet is such as to allow me b
walk naturally. unconsciously. and without pail
unless when l strike into my old gait, which 20,
may remember, was always the fastest Of the fas
test. ! hope | have not lost this so that l canno
get it back again. One must have been for thre'
years an invalid to know the happiness in my new
found strength"
