HABEAs OoRPUs. Moses Davis Us. Emma
Davis. Before Judge Storer. This was a
contest between father and mother in rela-
ton to the custody of their child, Cassius W.
Davis, little boy aged seven years.
II appeared the parties were married ten
years, and had been separated about two;
but nothing was disclosed showing any real
cause of difficulty. The statement Of each
party was heard, besides other testimony in
the case.
Judge Storer said he never heard of case
in which parties had separated upon such
trivial grounds. He thought, considering
the present age of the child, while its man
ners and morals were in a plastic condition,
the mother was the most proper custodian,
and awarded the care TO her, with liberty to
the father TO see it when he thought proper;
but strongly recommended both parties to
return to their early affection and live to-
gether. -..-.. ..-.....

the people of this country, and of the whole
civilized world. Europe courts this COM
merce, and America is beginning to desire
it.
!: The enterprise of this society has in
troducec Law, Letters and Religion into Pa
gan Africa. 1t has established free Chris
tan Republic in the very heart of the once
slave trading region and conferred the bless
ings of civilized life upon thousands of igno-
rant and degraded natives. 1t has erected
churches and school-houses upon the sites
of s!ave-factores and driven the plow through
the ground SO long redeemed with the black
mans blood. 1t has planted the seeds of ag-
riculture and the arts, of learning and Chris
t!anlly, where formerly neither missions nor
commerce thrived. Enterprising colored en-
igrants, with the blessings of Christian civil.
cation, are now pushing into the interior of
this long-neslected quarter of the earth,
where as yet, 1t appears, the life Of the white
man must be comparatively brief Missions
are prospecting, commerce is rapidly increas-
ing, and Ethiopia is beginning to "stre:ch
out her hands unto God"
Now, Mr.. Editor, whether all this, and
muck more Of like character, is "of no prac
teal value" and whether benevolent socie-
ty, engaged in works like these, for the high
est elevation and blessedness Of the colored
race is Justly to be regarded as "grand
hum5ug,' and whether an enterprise that &C
complishes these things is a "handmaid of
slavery" and an "auxiliary to the slave pow
en-" in any bal sense, are questions
which | leave to the judgment Of intelligent
and candid minds
Yours, for VERMONT.
