YANKEE SCHOOL TEACHER CAREFUL
LY RETURNED To the NORTH.

The Boston Transcript has full particulars
of the return Of Wood, the "Y ankee" school
teacher. The facts are as follows;
There came passengers on the South Caro-
lima, Mr.. Wm q. Wood and Mr.. Blodgett, a
produce dealer. Mr.. Wood, it appears, went
South for the purpose Of teaching. He was
graduate Of Harvard College. He was dc.
stined for Four Mile Branch, Barnwell Dis.
trict, S. 9. He took passage in the cars
from Charleston for his destination, in com.
paDy with Mr.. Blodgett. On the way, mad.
vertently, he expressed bis preference for
Lincoln as President. An individual was
noticed, intently listening to his conversation,
and at the next stopping place where the
ears tarried for three quarters OF an hour. be
was waited upon by committee, who ques.
toned him as to his politics, but he declined
to give them any satisfaction.
Mr. Wood thought no more of the ques-
tioning to which he had been subjected, and
continued on his journey. On arriving at
-Four Mile Branch" the place was found te
be terribly excited. telegraphic despatch
having probably informed the citizens of the
opinions Of the new conner among them. lie
was Immediately waited upon by commit
| tee, who told him it would be impossible tc
permit his stay in the place, and advising bin
| to leave as his best course. They, however
did not insist on his immediate departure
and offered to defray the entire expenses O.
his return to this city.
! MIR. Wood concluded that he would retracs
his steps without delay. He experienced nc
insults in the cars on the way to Charleston
except from q few rough customers, as al
officer had been provided to protect him =
On reaching that city, at the suggestion o
friends, he occupied apartments in the Guart
House, the night previous to the sailing o
the steamer, that being the safest retrea
during the existing excitement The mex
morning an officer OF the city came down will
NJ. w ood to the steamer, and put him safel!
on board. The produce dealer, so far as We
could learn, effected the object Of his southern
visit.

ICE AND rTs SUPPLY.

There ia one institution wanting in this
place, and that is an Ice House. large enough
to supply the public, and from which custom
ers should be served daily, during the sum-
mer, at so much per week. We know that
doubts will be raised at once whether such 40
enterprise would pay. We know that II will
pay well, judging from other places where
it has been introduced. 1t may be said that
there are too many private ice houses to
warrant such On enterprise. In reply, we
have to say that many Of these would not be
filed, if the owners could be sure Of regular
supply Of ice from other sources as they
wanted it. Besides, it would enable many
others to indulge in what lie now not only q
luxury, but in many respects a necessity, who
cannot afford to build and 6ll en- ice house.
Suppose only eighty persons would take
ice, paying, say, cents day, or 30 cents
per week, limiting the season to four months
The aggregate for the season would amount
to the snug sum Of three hundred and eighty
four dollars, to say nothing about the supply
to outsiders and others, besides regular Gus
toners. That somebody will start the bust
ness is certainty, aud it is only a question o
time But be who goes frst into it, vii
secure the field of enterprise.

Yesterday the Mayor of this city received
a telegraphic dispatch from Chambersburg,
directing him to arrest a white woman and
black man, who would reach here on the
Cumberland Valley train. The parties came
from the vicinity Of Hagerstown, Maryland
and had through tickets from that point to
Philadelphia. The dispatch, although from
an authentic source, made no specific charge,
and the suppositioD here was that .be woman
had abducted negro. rbe Mayor and Chiei
of Police proceeded to the depot, aud on the
arrival Of the train recognized the woman
and her dusky companion. The whole sp.
pearance of the latter uumistakably indicated
his slave origin. There being no slave Com.
missioner in this city, and the Mayor fearing
that the arrest OF the parties would be forcibly
resisted by the crowd of eoored people con
gregated at the depot, and give rise to scene
Of disorder and violence, very properly direct
ed the Chief to accompany the pair to Phila
del lphia and make the arrest there. In the
mesatime the Mayor telegraphed to the
Chief Of Police in that city to be at the Rail
road depot on the arrival Of the evening train
from Harrisburg. When the cars reached
Philadelphia Chief Waterbury took the tugi
tives in custody, and with the assistance o.
some officers who where in waiting conveyed

Since writing the above we have learned
some further particulars relative to this dsrl
affair. This forenoon the father OF the wo

He states that she is married, and left hus

of her parents. and lived very unhappily with
her husband, whom she deserted shor. tim,

THERE is no opposition more trying than
that OF Union man, standing up in the Cot
ton States for the Union; therefore, let US do
all honor to such men as Crittenden OF Ken
tucky, and Gardner of Georgia In late nr'
ticle in Gardner's ConStitutiOnalist, he states
a great truth as follows:
"But immediate secession would be injuri-
ous to oil, and disastrous to many interests
in Georgia. Yet Georgia could secede with
as little detrinent to her immediate interest,
and to her permanent prosperity, as any other
Southern State. The fact is, they oil require
time and preparation for so important step

out of the Union when no others were ready

SUNBURY sTOR ES.

We copy the following from the Shamokin
Register, Of this week. We ought, perhaps
to make great allowances for the exhilarating
effects Of the recent election, but then this
extravaganza is a most tremendous crow
too much, we think, even for the lungs of q
live Republican of friend Johns dimensions.
We know that, the winds sweep down the
mountain gorges, through the streets of Sha.
mokip, with tremendous force, and, perhaps
ambitious humanity should not be deemed too
oulpable 10 eudeavoring to initiate, il not to
excel, nature 10 its most terrific efforts. But
hear what the editor of the Register says of
our merchants
"The Sunbury papers are cracking up their
stores as the places to buy cheap goods. We
a few days since examined the prices 10 seve.
raj of their boasted cheap stores and having
on advantage Of over twenty years experience
in buying and selling goods, we soon came to
the conclusion that we have q Hoover, q
Fegely, Weimer, Clark and a Heilner,
tha. can undersell them both in quality and
prices. Our Hardware and Drug Stores are
upon an equality with theirs, and Mrs.
Shissler, Mrs. Eaton and Mrs. Moore sells
and trims boDDets which will make the home
liest female look handsome az church. and
:be pretty ones will be beauideals. Can
Sunbury beat that"
Beat what, friend John The story or the
stores? If the former is meant, we collapse
at once, but if you refer to our stores, we can
only say that we have stores in this place
that could stock half dozen village stores
like those Of Shamokin, without making any
apparent dminution in their stock. They dc
not attempt to mderseH "in quality" bul
endeavor to ercel. As to prices, it is vel
known that wholesale houses can afford &c
sell much cheaper than small retail shops
The merchants Of Shamokin, we know arc
clever aud obliging folks, but they are alst
modest, and would make no pretensions t.
such extravagant ideas as are ascrbed I,
them by the Register.
