have been led to the conclusion, that
among all, those of glass only are val
liable; and that the glass bottle with a
large mouth, possesses the following
advantages: s
"Being glass it will not corrode, or
poison the fruit: it is transparent, and
the condition of the fruit can be seen
at any time: it can be more easily
sealed and opened than any other in
use: the shape of the neck is such that
the fruit comes out readily, and of such
length that the contraction of the fruit
in the bottle by cooling will not bring
it below the neck, so that if there be a
slight mould on the surface as there
will be sometimes, it can be removed
with very little inconvenience from so
small surface and with very little loss;
while the most important feature of the
bottle is, that it has a jog in the neck
which prevents the cork from being
pressed in by atmospheric pressure
while the fruit contructs by cooling.
"With view to obviate the defects
and objections which are manifest in
the cans heretofore in use, and to fur
nish an article at price below the cost
of tin or any other material fit for use,
| was led to Introduce this bottle last
year as the Yeonadns Fruit Bottle, and
the experience of thousands who have
used it the past year will award it the
merits above named.
With such facilities for preserving
them the prudent housewife will COM
mence in May to put up her rhubarb

secure a supply of strawberries, cur
rants, rasberries, cherries, gooseber.

plums, pears, ounces, &C., &C., so that
these fruits will assume greater value
and Importance, both to the producer

their season, to be enjoyed out of sea

appreciate.

Daring Abduction of Negroes-A Whole
Family Kidnapped.

The Carlisle pennsylvania american,
of last week, says: One of the most
outrageous cases of Kidnapping ever
done in Cumberland county, occurred
on Friday night last, in dickinson
Township. A colored man named But
Ter, his wife and two children, residing
near Weakley's saw mill, were captur-
I'd between the hours of 9 and 10
o'clock, P. NJ, by parties unknown, and
forcibly carried Off A carriage track
was found leading to the honse and
from thence to Papertown, where it
was lost. Late in the evening, carri-
age supposed to be the same, frcoed its
way through the Holly tongate. The
secresy with which the affair was con-
Quoted, leaves little room to doubt but
that the parties were well acquainted
with both the neighborhood and their
nafarious business. Although the
cabin from which the abduction took
place is in Il thickly settled spot, four
Or five families of whites being within
4 stones throw, not the. slightest alarm
was raised, and the fact was not dis
covered till the next day, when the
house was found entirely deserted (; the
articles of clothing strewn about the
halfruinpled bed of the little girl, the
bread left to rise on the hearth, show
ing that this outrage had been perpe-
trated ii. the most sudden and precipit-
ate manner. The Butler family came
into this county from Adams about
year ago, and are highly esteemed by
their neighbors for sobriety, industry
and general good conduct.

Another Dred Scott Decision.

Chief Justice fancy has been ventil-
ating the Constitution with another de-
cision on the status of negro slaves, and
their relations to white men as persons
and property. The case was that of
The United States as. The Stare girl
Amy, charged with robbing the mail
1t was brought on writ of error be-
fore the United States Circuit Court
for the Eastern District of Virginia,
(Judgc Taney presided at Richmond.
The counsel for the defence-employed
Of course, by the girls master-made
very strong argument from the prem
ises of the Dred Scott decision, hold
ing:
l. That slaves are not lie gal persons,
because l, they cannot be fined or de-
prived of their liberty; being incapable
of holding property and having no lib
erty to be deprived of, the proposition
shows an absurdity at once and 2,
they cannot be tried by jury of their
peers, as required by the Constitution
in the criminal prosecution Of persons;
their peers being slaves like themselves
we fall straightway into another absur-
dity.
II. That the Court had no jurisdic-
ton (cide Dred Scott case, PIP 1-3), if
negro cannot sue or be sued civily,
neither can he be tried in a cause where
conviction would impose fine and de-
privation of liberty; and 2. because if
the negro has no personal rights he can
not be saddled with any personal re-
sponsibiIities.
III. That the girl Amy being simple
property her imprisonment would in
volve on infraction of that clause in
the Constitution wichh declares that
private property shall not be taken for
public uses without just compensation.
". That the relations of slaves to
the community were question exclusive
| ly of State Jurisdiction.
Frequent citations were made to the
Dred Scott decision in support of these
views. m
The learned Judge seems to have
comprehended that if this sort of logic
were to prevail, the mails of the Uni
ted States were a: the mercy of every
thief who had the wit to employ a ne
gro to do the robbing. If the girl Amy
was not sufficiently person to be
amenable to the law, and the United
States were not the proper administra.
tors Of the law, the boy Cuffee and the
boy Sambo might be employed by their
masters to waylay the mail bags and
carry off their contents with impunity.
Therefore he holds that though the
slave Amy is not a person in the degree
of having any legal rights, she is still
sufficiently person to be legally pun
ishsd! But in answering the point
made by the defense, that the law pro-
vided fine and Imprisonment for certain
degrees of crininality in robbing the
mails, and that inasmuch as a slave
could hold no property and pay no fine
the law could not have contemplated
her os on oy,nenabIe narfx. The Ch,eI

Little Rose.

She comes with fairy footsteps;
Softly their echoes fall,
And her shadow plays like a summer shade
Across the garden wall.
The golden light is dancing bright,
Mid the mazes of her hair,
And her fair young locks are waving free
To the wooing of the air.
Like a sportful fawn she boundeth
So gleefully along,
As wild bird she caroleth
The burden of a song.
The summer flowers are clustering thick
Around her dancing feet,
And on her cheek the summer breeze
Is breathing soft and sweet
The very sunbeams seem to linger
Above that holy head,
And the wild flowers at her coming
Their richest fragrance shed.
And oh. how lovely light and fragrance
Mingle in the light withiul
Oh how fondly do they nestle
Round the soul that knows no sin!
She comes, the spirit Of our childhood
A thing of mortal birth,
Yet bearing still the breath of heaven,
To redeem her from the earth.
She comes in bright-robed innocence,
Unsoiled by spot or blight,
And passeth by our wayward path,
A gleam of angel light.
Oh blessed things are children.
The gifts of heavenly love;
They stand betwixt our world-hearts
And better things above,
They link us with the spirit-world
BY purity and TRUTH
And keep our hearts still fresh and young
With the presence of their youth.

He is DEAD.-Yes-the friend who
was by our side but Yesterday-whose
laugh was as loud as our own, and
whose spirits were light as the most
active-is now dressed in the habli-
ments of the tomb. His voice will en-
livenno more-no more will his presence
cheer-no more will JOY and gladness
spring up in the hearts of those who
wont to be relieved from the benevo-
lence of his heart. He is dead! He
has looked his last on field and flower
spoken the last kind word and given
the last kiss of affection. The flowers
of spring will bloom and wither upon
his grave-the birds will sing above
his resting place, and the merry voices
of children will float upon the air-but
the sleeper will not awake till the sound
of the archangel's trumpet shall call
the dead to life. May we learn use-
tul lesson from the sudden departure of
one who so recently was engaged in
the active scenes of life. May we SO
live that if called SO suddenly from the
pursuits of time, We may be prepared
for that better world where the weary
are forever at rest.
