From s. p Chase, chief Justice Of U. S. Su-
prone Court:
No one probably has had equal opportunities
with yourself Of listening TO the narratives of
fugitive slaves No one will repeat them more
truthiully. and no stories can be more fraught
with interest than theirs.

We have been reliably informed that
on the 3rd inst, the 'city fathers" made
a conditional purchase from the Bah
cock Manufacturing Company, through
their gentlemanly agent, MIR. 5. @. Shat
fer, of Lancaster, Ohio, of fine, i'm
proved Chemical Engine. A test of the
slime will be made here within two
months. and upon the result of this test
we presune, will hinge the question As
n whe her we can ri!htfnllv claim her
a. "our own"
We have no personal knowledge OF
these engines; but from the favorable
mention which they have received from
the press of some of the towns and vii
lagos using them. we are inclined to
think favorably of them. However, the
test will be more likely TO satisfy "the
tax-pavers' as to their utility in ceases
of emergency" likely to arise in villages
of this class, than any recommendations
emanating from newspapers, circulars or
agents.
We must congratulate the Council on
the venture they have made in this re-
spect, for it is step, at least, in the di-
rection of providing, our village with a
greatly needed improvement"
