Curious Railroad acknowledgements
Robbed


Tho Cincinnati Tymes relates the following ;nc;.
dent. said to have occurred on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, few days ago:
Mr.. John Lindawood of Cadix, Henry county
Ind, was passenger on the train, and ~ through
passengers are apt to do, dropped into snooze
soon after dark. He occupied seat near the rear.
After ,no5zing while, jolt of the cars awaken
ed him. and looking up saw. Just above his
shoulder the head Of n passenger occupying the
seat Just behind him, and at the time he OBJ
served that a-senger slip his pocket book from
his breast pocket and Instantly arise and make
for the door Mr.. l.. cndeavored 10 catch the dis

"a the door he caught of the skirts of hi. coat
The thief pulled hard and 80 did Mr.. Lindawmd
aud II came the skirt. The thief was u,t outside
the door when Mr. Lindawood caught the other
skirt Of the coat. and off 1t came. The ears were
then under full Roadway
The drowsy passengers in the car Just began to
unde stand the nature Of the i ficuty between the
Two parties when the thief parted with his entire
G. nj tail. Several OF them ran h. the assistance
Of Mr. Lindawo"d, but too late. The thief pre-
fe red 10 risk broken neck 10 the State Prison,

way. Whether ne killed, hurt or escaped
uniniurcd We did not learn. hot it il said he
must have went down 10 or 20 feet before he reach
ed bottom.
The pocket-book which he stole from Mr.. Lind
tainin. 5000 he failed To reach Mr.. Lindawood
was rcgretting his loss when the conductor pro-
posed an examination ofthc thicfs coat tail. This
was done. and to the surprise and qualification of
rhe passengers. two elegant gold watches were
found in the pockets It was unanimously voted
that 10 steal from thief is crime, and thee con-
due or passed the watches over To Mr. Dneawood
to / ,pay him for his loss. There is no danger of
the owner ever calling for them. The time pieces
nre valuable ones. and Mr.. Lindawood made fully
500 by being robbed that time.

they are most valuable in their connexion
with the New York garden and market
agriculture
The social position of the colored people
of this town has decidedly improved with
in few years. Their religious position
averages well with that of our New York
and Brooklyn friends.
The Reformed Dutch, Presbyterian,
Episcopalian, Baptist, and Methodist pull
pits (white) are we'll sustained by able
preachers. In the mornings and evenings
of the Sabbath the people distribute them
selves in these different churches. In the
afternoon they meet in their own church.
This arrangement gives their pastor two
thirds of the time for Iabors elsewhere,
while it gives them time to indulge a rea-
sonable taste for variety This spot has
facilities, and is destined to be the locality
of an important institution of education
for colored youths
3 The proprietors of the Flushing Rail
road, which runs within stones throw of
the desk where | now write, have made,
within this season, great improvements in
the time, prices, and other regulations of
their road. The road now connects with
the fine Thirty -fouth street ferry on this
side, and sits you down at Winfield for ten
cents, or Newtown for fifteen. Thus con-
Meeting with Flushing and the upper part
of New York you travel with good class
of passengers, in good cars, and under
gentlemanly conductors. A pleasing fact
is, that one of their depots is in charge Of
a respectable colored man of this town, who,
l believe, has also the care or inspection of
one section of the rails This is certainly
an advancement in the right direction.
May the day soon come when we shall see
other roads do likewise

di, Johnson, Turpin & Dunbar owners of
vessel and cargo; the cargo being valued
at S4O,000-the vessel being 400 tons bur-
den; arriving here on Monday, the 18th
instant, after passage of forty-six days
from port to port. Among the cabin pas
sengers were the three owners; the family
of Hon. j. D. johnson, one of the owners;
Rev. w. G. Monroe, lady and two child
rem; Samuel t. Ray, Esq, lady and
child and B. E. Castendyk, German
gentleman travelling for pleasure. Among
the steerage passengers were preacher
and many good mechanics.
On our voyage we spoke Portuguese
vessel in the night; were signalized by one
which was too stupid to give her nationali-
ty; spoke an English trader, the Tweed
side, of London" from Sierra Leone, in
daylight; and the " Sunbeam propeller
of the Niger River Expedition" outward
bound, July 7th-latitude Z deg. AZ min,

Sunday, the 18th, after lying in the
roadstead of Grand Cape Mount 36 hours,
we sailed out at dusk, just as the NJ. G.
Stevens approached, which left Baltimore
twelve days before the Mendi, We beating
her SO hours to the coast of Africa, and
two days into Monrovia
In the roadstead of Cape Measurable,
{ Monrovia Harbor,) lay at anchor the
Moses Shepard" vessel belonging to
McGill Brothers, Monrovia firm of black
gentlemen, and the EQUAL" schooner of
war belonging to the Liberian navy, conn.,
manded by Captain Cooper, a Liberian.
Shortly after anchoring Capt. an
English naval officer retained for the pur-
pose of teaching naval tactics, and Lieut..
VIM. Mongo, young Liberian gentleman,
and second in command, said to be a
promising young officer, paid the Mendi
visit.
On Wednesday, the 14th inst, l receiv-
ed from his Excellency, President Benson,
by the hand of his private Secretary-an
accomplished young gentleman, and son of
distinguished Liberian now deceased
an official dispatch pertaining to my mis-
sion; but he having to leave on an official
tour down the coast next day, was Off
cially commended to the Secretary of State,

were we to do2 I felt something push by
me on the steps, and then for the first time
noticed that Jourdan had reioined us. A
paroxysm of coughing had kept him below
stairs when Brown and / hurried into the
ward. / saw his eyes sparkling and heard
his rough breathing as the little fellow said:
" Hold these and put pair of half-Wel-
hngtons into my hand. Was he mad too,
taking off his boots in such place?
" Why, Jourdan, WHAT
=" Hush !" said he, as he raised himself
through the trap and stood on the roof
We now Esaw he was going to seize the
mailman. @
The latter, as l have said, was a tall,
stout man, in state of acute mania; our
friend was diminutiye, and his naturally
small frame was wasted by disease. He
got on the sharp apex of the sloping roof;
blast of wind came, and down he went;
but he caught something, raised himself,
and walked along like one on tight-rope.
The mailman does not seem to notice
lin We watch them both, and our hearts
beat not only with anxiety, but shame.
The possibility of such feat had never
entered our imaginations. Now he nears
the maniac, who notices him, turns half
round, and throws his arms up in defiance.
But on Jourdan goes. The shadows now
mingle on the roof. The wind seems to
howl louder, and our eyes are less able to
distinguish objects.
2" Great heavens they're down p said
Brown, squeezing my arm, as something
ratified over the roof.
Not was only tile.
What are they doing? They are near
er us now-Jourdan walking warily back
ward, and leading the maniac, whom he
has grasped by the breast of the night
shirt. Still are those mad hands held out
threateningly over the frail figure guiding
himto safety They reach the trap. Brown
and l descend the steps so as to make room
for the strange pair. Down they come.
We seize the great mad arms and pin them
down, and put the man to bed
We turn to look for Jourdan. He is
quietly putting on his boots again; and SO
we all return to the house-surgeon's room,
/ shall not trouble the reader with any
moral reflections, which he may draw as
we'll as myself from this little adventure.
Poor Jourdan's brave spirit is now, trust,
where he obtains clearer insight into those
great truths he so enthusiastically in his
short and useful life. The patient whose
life he saved was only suffering from tenn
porary mental excitement, and is now a
strong and useful man

instincts, is as clearly demonstrated as the
plainest mathematical problem. Either
the two Become one-one in nature, one
in sympathy, one to all intents and pur-
poses-or one or the other must cease to
exist
Then how absurd it is to attempt to ig-
more the issue And how inconsistent the
endeavor TO oppose the further spread of
slavery, while refusing to assume the po-
sition of hostility to its continuance in a
certain locality! One might as well ex-
pect to thaw an iceberg by the cold, pale
beams of winter moon, as to expect to
promote the peace and happiness of the ma
ton by such course of procedure.
The dividing line is already drawn 1t
may not be perceptible to the contracted
and darkened vision of the mere politician;
but no great truth ever evolved in the
world of matter or of mind, stands out in
more bold relief than this He qcho as not

station accordingly. Under which king,
