The Browns and COppOc in AshtabuIa.
From the account in the Ashtabula Sentinel
of the meeting at Jefferson the evening Of the

Asthma, this disease had been much aggravated
of late by exposure while on his way from
Maryland. And here he would take occasion
TO correct a false impression which prevailed
in regard to those fugitives from Harpers
Ferry--as they are call. Merriam, CoppOc and
| Owen Brown, were at the time of the outbreak
at the Ferry, at a place called the Kennedy
Farm miles distant in the State of Maryland.
| Whatever then may have been their object or
purposes, they were at that time engaged in
other business not in Virginia, but in Mary
land. Virginia was now on the track Of these
fugitiyes, had pursued young COppoc to the
State of IOwa-tO the home of his mother, a

Provinces would be required to surrender him

Mr.. Beech, ofAndover, made some excellent
remarks. Among other things, he put the
following question:

attempt was made to take them; all who viii,

Terrible scene of starvation and Misery.

Terrible scene OF starvation aHd Mlsefy'
Actual horror exceeds fiction in some of the
tenement houses IN New York The Evening
Post depicts a case in point. Officers were
informed that family was on the verge Of
starvation in rear tenement house corner of
Avenue B. and l4th street. They found the
room dark, and light was obtained from an
adjoining room. The Post says
The scene that presented itseif was terrible
20 look upon. The man, too inanimAte to rise
was seated on the floor. By his side lay his
wife, holding in her arms an infant two months
old The mother and child were perfectly
nude; an old and faded quilt was their only
covering.
The wife was too III to speak above whis
per- In bedroom adjoining were three child
rem lying sound asleep boy and two girls,
their ages varying from four to nine years
They were lying on the stats Of bedstead
with not particle of b0dclOthing upon them.
No food or fuel was in the room. The only
furniture was a stove, q shackly table, and the
miserable apology for cOveTlid which covered
the wife and child Through the kindness OF
the officer, FIRE was soon klndled in the stove,
nourishing soup provided foF the sick wife and
proper food obtained for the husband and child
ren, with abundant supplies of clothing.

Ia his admirable Lecture on "WOman and

Grating telegraph wires has been to a great
extent placed in the hands of young ladies', who
6nd it very agreeable employment. The
inland department Of the Electric Telegraph
Company in London, now employs one hundred
young ladies, who receive and transmit the
messages irOm all parts Of the United Kingdom.
The room in which they are engaged is lofty,
spacious, and admirably lighted and ventilated
A number Of long tables are placed across the
room, upon which the instruments are placed,
sn attendant being seated opposite each one
There is one table for Liverpool, another for
Manchsster, third for Birmingham and Glas-
gov, and so on for the whole Of the chief
towns. When not engaged at the instruments,
the girls employ themselves with needlewOrk
or reading. The room is in charge of mAtrOn
The compensation ranges from los. to 25s

graphing, but longer practice is required TO i'm
part efficiency and rapidity Of execution. There
Is a kitchen IN which the young ladies cook
their dinners, and a servant to wait upon them,
with lavatory and other appliances for their
comfort and convenience The access to the
room is by q staircase exclusively devoted to
the ladies, and no person of the ruder sex is
upon any account admitted into their depart
msnt except upon special order. To the
honor OF ''the fair SEX" the experiment has
proved to a denomination that the proverbial
inespacitY Of women to keep a secret is a
great untruth. OF the thousands of important
and valuable secrets which must yearly come
to the knowledge Of these young ladies, not a
single one has ever transpirel. Many of the
fair operatives are closely related to individuals
distinguished in literature, science and art.
