A Hard Case.

About six months ago q colored
man named Waggoner was carried
across tho river from this city and
found his way into the Newport Jail,
as a fugitive from labor. About
the same time two men were arrested
and committed to the same Jail, up.
on the charge Of kidnapping Wag.
goner. When these men were
brought up for trial no one appeared
against them, and they were dis.
charged. Waggoner remained in
Jail, however. No one claimed his
service but the law requires that he
shall prove his freedom. This he
has not done, and hence he is to be
sold on Monday next to the highest
bidder. II a man commits murder,
or is arrested upon the charge OF
murder, tho state is required to provo
him guilty, failing in which the
prisoner is set at liberty; but if a
negro is charged with the crime Of
being a slave he is required to prove
that he is a freeman, failing IN which
he is sold at auction, and consigned
to slavery for life! Waggoner, it
appears, has warked in this city
His parents reside in Bantam, Cler-
mont county, Ohio. They have
visited him, and recognized him rs
their son. But being black, their
testimony is worthless. To Prevent
the sale, the right of Waggoner to
freedom must be established by the
evidence of white citizens; and even
then it will require Two or three
hundred dollars to get him out OF
the net that tho svaricious officials
Of Kentucky have thrown around
him. 1t is hardly possible that the
citizens Of Kentucky will counter.
ance this impending outrage; but.
however this may be, the friends OF
humanity should see that Waggoner
does not losc his freedom, if two or
three hundred dollars will save him
from the auction block. Ctncin-

him about three years. While living
with them the grace Of his person
attracted the attention Of the young
daughter of tho Indian Chief, and
he married her, and in their wcdlock
they had "a son and daughter. Soon
tired, however, Of this uncivilized
life, he sought a favorable oppor

RAvAGEs OF WORMS. Complaints
reach us from every quarter OF the
country in regard to the destruction
of the growing crops by grub or
light brown worm, in size about / of
an inch in dia ,.eter, and one inch in
length. They have appeared sim
ultancously in vast numbers through
out this section, infcsting the plow-
ed fields. pastures, woodlands and
gardens. They are very voracious,
eating up all entire piece Of corn in
two Or three days. They also attack
wheat, oats, grass, and garden vege-
tables Of all descriptions. They
work Just under the surface Of the
ground; their movements are slug.
gish; they are easily found about an
inch below the surface, wherever a
spear OF corn appears to be wilted or
dying. Many lear the destruction
their crops by this new enemy. No

to check to their movements.- Rdl-
