AhhEsr OF Fuerrivr..-Five fugitive
Slaves were arrested iu Chicag @, last week
carried to spridefeld by an extra train,
Tried, handed over TO their masters, who
returned TO ST. Louis with them. The ar.
rest was made quietly, but as soon as il
was known. the negro population became
quite excited, and psraded about in threat.
suihg manner. They suspected one Of
their number as the person who gave infot.
nation which led to the arrests. and were
about laying violent hahds upon him, when
the police interferred, took charge of the
darkey who wss in danger. and arrested
some of the head men Of the mob. Although
the arrest was accomplished secretly, and
at great cost, yet il could not have been
done at all, with broken Union and the
absence of the fugitive slave law. The
Union, therefore, is yet worth something 10

dates thus become qualified, the same year, it may
be proper and productive of good effects on the
other Teachers of the county TO distinguish the de-
livery of the certificates with some formality. The
close of the Annual County Institute or some
other general meeting of Teachers, would be a
proper occasion for this ceremony, when written
thesis on some educational topic might be read
by each of the successful candidates, and an ad-
dress be delivered BY the County Superintendent,
suitable to the occasion.
