The STRONGEST MAN IN THE WoRLD.-
"Acorn," who astonished our readers some
lime since BY his description of the mar.
velous fests Of strength of DR.. George
B, Winship, of Roxbury, Massachusetts,
writing to the Spirit of the Times on the
same subject, says:
"Our young giant, DR.. George B. Win
ship, Of Roxbury, continues to increase in
strength, and now lifts with his hands, un-
aided by any straps or bands except fhose
given to him by the Almightys,ten hun
dred and thirty two pounds! This / have
seen him do, with as much apparent ease
as an ordinary man can lift three hundred
and fifty pounds! This extraordinary
young man only weighs one hundred and
forty Two pounds, and is but twenty live
years old. If he keeps increasing his
strengh as he has the past year, By the
time be is thirty years old be win be in-
deed aSamson." He has delivered his
lecture in Portland, Me-, in Amhers Mass,
in Springfield, in Worcester, and in vari-
Gus other towns and cities to overfowing
audiences, and will repeat it in Albany,
Troy and Buffalo, and has invitations from
more towns and cities than he can possibly
respond to for months to come. He hopes
however, to be able to deliver the lecture
and give illustrations in New York, Phila-
delphis, Baltimore, and some of the other
sosthsrn cities, during the coming winter.
This young msn is not only physically
strong. but has and intellect equal To bis
Extraordinary muscular powers. He is o
giant more ways than one."

A Page from a Patriarch's Life
A correspondent of the New York 1ri6
une, writing from St. Louis, relates the fol
lowing:
We had in this city not long since, ,
striking illustration of the patriarchal in
stitution of Slavery. A Mississippi gentle.
man came 10 this State to supply his plant.
ations, and made his headquarters in this
city. Among the two or three dozen be
bought, was little girl, about nine years
old, whose complexion was as fair as the
average of white children. She attracted
some attention, and the purchaser related
her history. She was the child of hand
some mulatto woman, and her father was
the Hon. Mr., Member of Congress
from this State. Her mother was not the
slave of Mr., but owned by neigh
Dor, for l believe it is the custom among
the patriarchs to make an interchange of
civilities of this kind. A strange coinci-
dence happened in bringing her to this city.
She came with others down the river in a
steamboat with her master, and among
the passengers was her father He con-
versed with her owner about her, and said
be would have bought her himself, were it
not for bis wife. l had this information
from the owner of the girl. The girl was
kept in slave-pen on Sixth street, and
was visited by numbers who had learned
her history. The purchaser was very re-
spectacle getleman, who bought her for a
nurse in his family. But who cannot
guess her destiny? Here was q child of
tender age, apparently white, herding with
a lot of common negroes, torn from her
mother, and doomed to Mississippi plant
alton, while her father, in the august Sen
ate of the United States, declaims of lib
erty. He stands cody by, while his own
child, bearing his own lineaments, is taken
forcibly from her mother and driven off
with gang of slaves to a distant land,
among strangers, never again to know a
