three years ago, by which so many lives were
lost and damage to the extent Of millions OF

Kellogg, who was employed for that purpose by
J. p Jones, the superintendent OF the mine. Hub

of running Jones, and that he refused to Sign IL,

HIS RETURN To PES.siLhaSlA AFTER AN ABSENCE
OF 2l YEARS.
Although more than two decades have passed
since the memorable riot between the slave
hunters and escaped slaves, aided by their
friends, took place at Christiana, the event
is fresh in the minds Of many Of our readers.
1t will be remembered that William Parker, a
colored man. took conspicuous part in the riot
and became the slayer of a notorious slaye-hun-
ter named Gorzuch. He was compelled, for hlH
own safety to doe his country, and sought ref
uge in Canada, where he has since remained, ol
until few days ago, when he returned to his OLE
home and acquaintances. The weight of year
has bowed him down somewhat but his heart re-
ioices in the knowledge that the bonds have
been stricken from the slave, and he has been
elevated to the dignity of manhood.
Parker was present at the commencement al
Lincoln University last week.

drafted and must obey the summons. The
colored boy demurred at first, but believing
that he was in duty bound to do the budding of
his master, entered the army and there remain
