before they will be benefited by the labor
of the $4,000 (nearer 9o,oo0) free blacks

MARROW ESCAPE OF TWENTY-FIVE Cru.-
DnEN FROM DRowNlNG.-On Monday twenty
two l'tlc children narrowly escaped a watcry
grave in the harbor Of Boston The Herald

their escape:

a large number of children have been in the
habit playing outstanding tie vigilance
of The railroad employees and the police
On Monday, taking advantage of the absence
Of the men from work, larger number than
usual were at play, when, about one clock
the ice gave way and went out with the tide,
carrying with it twenty-five Of the children,
all between the ages Of seven and nine years.
Finding the position they were in, they
screamed for asss'an cc, but were rot heard
or noticed by any one on the shore Mr.
William Haslom was fol tunatcly ont in a
boat, and seeing the Dc spcrate condition Of
the little crowd pulled to their assistance as
quick as possible, and fortunately succeeded
in reaching them, the strong ehb tide, how
ever, making ita matter ofmuchditicnlty.-
When his boat touched the ice the greatest
GOODNESS was necessary on the part Of Mr.
llasom. as, Notwithstanding his warning t.
the children to keep back. they crowded to
the edge of the trcachcrous cake. Seeing the
Importance of immediate action, IlaSlem
commenced taking the little folks into his
