A Strange Experience.

In the course of his long fight against
slavery General Hawley and his old friend
John Hooker-had one experience which
is probably unique among New England
citizens. Hawley bought and Hooker
owned a doctor Of divinity. A scholarly
colored man-James Pennington-who had
received at Heidelberg the degree of ID. ID.
was settled over the Talcott Street church
In this city. 1t came out that he ran away
from slavery when boy He was owned"
at the south, and when the fugitive slave
law was passed there was danger of his cap
ture and servitude. So Lawyer Joe Haw-
ley went to his owners for Mr.. Hooker,
bought this doctor of divinity and brought
Mr.. Hooker back the bill of sale. Mr..
Hooker tried for a day the feeling of own
ing minister and then put on record in
the town clerks office deed giving the
Rev. DR.. James Pennington the ownership
of himself.-Hartford Courant.

State Normal school.

EDITOR HERALD-It has well been said
that the glory of state is in her free
laws, free citizens and her educational
institutions. Ii is also well settled fact
that all popular governments rest upon
the intelligence OF the people. IL it not
well then that one of the pillars for the
education of the coming generations
should be broad and deeply laid by the
establishment of a state normal school
in the central city of Washington?
The new school year beholds one OF the
most magnificent educational edifices in
the state, lifting its lofty domes, piercing
the ethereal of Gods infinite space.
This year the curriculum has been en- =
larged, taking in music, drawing and
penmsnship; now making q school Pc
culiarly adapted for the fitting of teachers
for school work.
The building occupies an elevated posi-
ton in the northern part of the city and
with its we'll lighted, well heated and
thoroughly ventilated arrangements; its
beautiful grounds, its spacious Railways,
its gymnasium, class rooms, recitation
rooms, etc, would require an extensive
article in itself.
The school is growing in popularity
daily, and Prot. Getz has by his ability
and fitness entirely won the hearts of all
the students and both teachers and pupils
are working with might and main to win
new laurels and hearty plaudits.
