The Somerset Reporter says one of the
workmen on the Somerset Railroad took a
novel way to return to his boarding house at
the village from mile above where he was at
work, the other evening. Providing himself
with pole he embarked upon floating cake
of ice about ten feet square and navigated him
self down the river, running within ten feet of
the pier which, if he had struck itwould have
wrecked his novel craft and sent him to the
bottom. He would have worked his ice float
to the shore, but friend went out with boat
and relieved him. An interested crowd wit
messed the adventure from the shore.

We. were much surprised to learn by a
communication handed us the other day
that the writer encounters mud every day
in his travels to and from the centre of
business in this city. Has anybody else
seen any mud? Is there any mud in any
other part of the city? Has there been
any in any other city or town in the State
this springP Atthis season of the year il
is remarkable that n4Q-holes should exist
in this vicinity. We hope the City Coun-
ell will make due inquiry about this m'4a-
DE- ym;atter. and attend particularly to it.
Let the Street Commissioner be examined
as to his responsibility in the case, and at

P,,S, Since the above was written we
have seen a team stuck fast in Winthrop
street in the mud, and we hear reports of
mud in other parts of the city. If the
Street Commissioner is going to attend to
them all at once he will have to spread
himself out exceedingly thin.

A machine for scraping the roads, which
promises to be Of great utility has been inven-

the perches of an ordinary two horse wagon,
and acting on the principle of plane. This
shaves off the inequalities above certain

By request ofFriend Eli Jones, formerly
of this county, we insert the following
minute, which was unanimously adopted
at q nleetingof the Committee OF the
British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society,
held ut London on the 4th ofJanuary last.
We trilst the fears which are expressedi In
| relation, to Cinnamon in this country are
without foundation. We need their labor
and under our present laws we hope they
Will escape oppression and become good
ctizens.O .-. 80 ,Jt'r
The attention of this Committee has
been turned To a report, which has gained
currency in several ofthe American news
papers, to the effect that immigration ON
an extensive scale, from China to the
Southern States, is in contemplation.
t'Whilst this Committee diSclaims all
desire to interfere with immigration when
it is perfectly free and conducted upon
fair aud lust principles, it has great cause
to view with alarm and tlistHtst Immi-
grafton from less enlightened and less civ
ilized nations into countries where slavery
has recently bad an existence.
- nc past tNptllCitc W tiC'I blit'
has painfully shown that it is almost inn
possiblesin such cases to prevent kitlnap-
ping, oppression, and fraud. Is
This has been iomd-especially the case
where contracts, made with such persons
in their own county, are legally binding
in the country in which such contracts are
to be fulfilled. s4kI
sin such cases it has frequently hap
pened that Immigrants become marketable
property-are openly bought aud sold and
thus many of evils of slavery are re-intro-
duced
There is also q danger that native
labour may be deprecated and displaced,
and caste introduced into the country,
by which labour itself may be degraded.
This Committee, therefore. ventures
very respectfully to suggest to the friends
of freedon,in the United States the neces-
sity of great vigilance, in order that evils
of such magnitude may be effectually
prevented"
