A SLAVE ENTIcED FROM HER MASTER IN MIN
EEsorA BEGs HER WAY BACK TO MISSISSIPPI
Last summer, negro servant, named Eliza
Winston, the property of Colonel Chrisman,
of Mississippi, was taken from her master,
while temporarily sojourning near Minneapolis,
for the benefit of the health of his family.
The servant was induced to leave kind and
indulgent master, and an invalid distress, by
the solicitations and promises of certain noto-
~rious Abolitionists, who, soon after her rescue,
threw her upon the charity of the comm nifty.
A fitting commentary on this whole business
we find in the Sank Rapids Era, q Republican
journal, which states that ga letter had been
received at st Anthony, from Col. Chrisman,
stating that Eliza Winston, rescued last sum
mer from her master, Col. Chrisman, near
Minneapolis, has begged her way back TO her
master in Mississippi, and is again at her old
home in the South, minus everything save II
very thankful heart" The Era adds III
this report Is true, of which we have no
doubt, what must be now thought OF those
affidayits alleged to have been made by her
Can any one now tell which Eliza prefers
the South or the eNOrth-;Slavery or Freedom -

Law SUIT BETWEEN HORSE TAMERs.-An ac-
tion for $780, 900 damages has been commenced
in the Supreme Court in New York, by Den
ton Ofutt, of New Orleans, against John S.
Rarey, the famous horse tanner, for an alleged
violation of a contract Mr.. O1futt claims
that he is the originator of this system of
horse tanning, and that in the year 1850 he
taught it to Rarey, who bound himself in the
penalty OF $50 in each case in which he should
lmpart the secret to any other person that he
gave Rarey book of the system, which he
(Rarey) has since republshed, and has fur
ther violated the contract by imparting the
secret of the system to divers persons in Eu-
rope and the United States.

PREFERRINa DEATH TO NEW JERsEY-One
terrible stormy night, in bleak December,
United States vessel was wrecked off the coast
of Jersey, and every soul. save one, went
down wiz the doomed craft. This one sur
vivor, q western gentleman, seized floating
spar, and was washed toward the shore, while
innumerable kind hearted tools of the Cam
d, n and Amboy Railroad stood clustered on
the beach with ropes and boats. Slowly but
surely the unhappy mariner drfted to land,
and as he exhaustedly caught ut the rope
thrown to him, the kindly natives uttered an
encouraging cheer. 'You are saved,' they
shouted. "You are saved, and must show
the conductor your ticket" With the sea still
boiling about him, and floating straw tick
ling his nose, the drowning stranger suddenly
resisted the efforts to haul him ashore.
"Stop ~ said he, in a faint tone. "Tnll me
where / am! What country is this?'' And
they answered .New Jersey" Scarcely had
the name been uttered, when the wretched
stranger let 60 the rope, calculating as he did
so. II guess I'll float little farther" He
WAS never seen again

4nr. HoUeS Benedt.-Mr. Burdett Howe the
author OF the new piece W hich has been played
with remarkable success for several nights
past, takes a benefit tonight, and we bespeak
for him Il crowded house. Mr.. Howe made
his first appearance on our stage at the COM
mencement of the present season. and at once
commended himself to popular favor. We do
not pay him a higher compliment than he de-
serves, when we say he is an ctor of excellent
talent and capacity. He performs his parts
with fidelity, and maintains an ease and dig
of the spectator an impression that what he
sees is reality. The play of the Necromancer
which possesses merits of no common order,
furnishes ample evidence of his literary abili-
ty. We feel assured that the patrons of the
Theatre will give Mr.. Howe cordial and sub
stdattal greeting.
