FREEDOM.
Frank Douglass, the escaped convict may
be patriotic, but neither he nor the brace of
boys who were sentenced to Jail for one
year, were born in the town of Freedom.

miles from Freedom village, in the town of
Unity Asher and Elisha, the two serv-
ing sentences in the Belfast Jail, are broth
ers of Frank, not sons. We wish to give
every town all honors (?) due it, and as
none of the family ever lived in Freedom
