A WAGER.


Last summer, H. f. Sickles, Esq, Of
Moline, in this State, met Eldad N.
Whitford, a slave holder of St. Louis,
and during political discussion, bet
was made Of a certain amount of -four,
the manufacture of Mr. Sickles, against
one of Mr.. Whitford's negroes, on the
result of the election in this State and
New York Nothing more was heard of
the bet by M. Sickles till after the cleo.
ton, when he received letter from Mr.
Whitford informing him that the negro
was rightfully his, and that he must
como and take possession of him. Mr.
Sickles Immediately went to St. Louis,
took possession Of his pwprty and went
before the City Recorder, obtained Char.
ley's free papers and handed them to him,
telling him at the same time that he was
free man, and could do with himself as
he pleased. The joy of the negro was un-
bounded at the thought of his being able
to say that he owned himself! The ne
gro is about thirty five years of age, and
is what they term down South "a good
likely negro active and smart, and
would have broght in the Southern mar
ket from 81, 200 to 81 500.
These facts we gather from the Rock
Island Reyister.-Nicayo Tribune.
