common sense enough left not to go very
far in any one direction, but kept widen-

halted, in the hope of meeting with the
traces of some one of the party ; at last,
to my great relief, I came upon an-old dis-

particular, yet went to show that could
not be very far from some habitation. I

shying of my horse made me raise my
eyes—and by Heaven, it was enough to
to have ‘strrmpeded’ a regiment of dragoons.
Just before me on the right, with one
foot advanced, as if it had paused in the
act of stepping across -the road, stood a
tall, ghastly, skeleton like figure, dressed
in skins with the hair out-—a confqunded
long ‘beard-—and such eyes! It. is impos-
sible to imagine them. They dit_l’nt move
at all in the shaggy, hollow sockets, more
than if they were frozen in them ; and the
glare that streamed out from them \vas so
stilland freezing! It startled my nerves so
strangely, that_I come near-'_ dropping my
gun, though he wasjust swinging a long
rifle down to the level, bearing On _me-
‘Wliy did’nt you shoot 7.’ ‘Ay! why did’nt
I’! I did not tfiinlc of self defence, but of
those eyes. The rifle was suspended, but
they continued fairly to cling upon my fea-
t-‘ur-es*till I- conceived I could feel the ice
spots ciirdle beneath my skin asthey crept
slowly along each lineauient. The fact is,
I caught myself sliuddering—-‘it was so
ghostly! After regardi_ng me in this way
about ten seconds, he seemed to be satis-
fied; the rifle was slowly thrown back. on
the shoulder, and with an impatient twitch
at his long grisly heard with his bony fin-
gers, and a single stride which carried him
across the road, he plunged into the bush-
es without a word. I started in vexation
at my stupidity and shouted. He did not
turn his head. I was now enraged, and
spurred my horse into the thicket after
him as far as we could penetrate, but lost
sight of him in a moment. I felt as if I
iad seen the devil sure enough, and actu-
ally went back to where he stood to see
if heliadflcft any tracks behin I. Every
body drew‘ a" long breath. ‘I warrant you
found ’eui'- cloven !’ sa-i-I one.—‘Did’nt you

I should have been convinced that I had
seen something supernatural. I think he
must be some maniac wildman.’ ‘He’s. a
strange animal anyhow.’ ‘Singular affair,’
was buzzed around the table. ‘Hear me
out !’ said Henry. ‘After this incident I
continued to follow the devious windings
of this road, which seemed to turn toward
each of the Cardinal poin's in the hour,
until my patience was perfectly exhausted,
and it was not.’ till after sunset that it fi.nal- ,
ly led me out into a prarie, the features of
which I thought I recognized. .
I looked around for the purpose ofsatisf
ing myself, when suddenly a horse burst
from the tliic‘-et behind me, and went tear-
ing off over the plan with eve y indication
'-
head turned back and stirrups flying in the
air.’ ‘What sort ofa horse 1’ ‘\Vhat col-
or was he I several broke in, with breath-
less impatience. ‘He’ tvas too‘ far for me
to tell in the dusk more than that he was a
dark horse—-say about the color of mine.’
‘Stoner’s horse was a dark brown!’ some
one said in a low voice, while the party
moved uneasily in their seats and looked
at each Qt.-list‘.
These was it pause. The Squire got
up an-'2 walked with a fidgety manner to-
ward the window to look out, and turning
with a serious face toward Henry, remar-
ked, This is a very curious story of
yours, and ifl did not know you too well,
I should suspect you were quizzing. Did
you hear a gun after you parted with this
lank sided fellow you describe I’ ‘I thought
I did once, but the sound was so distant,
that I was too lll'lCe'l'l.a‘lH‘1't’I)0llIE it being a»

some of yours.’ ‘It may be, this madman,
or whatever he is, has danger in him,’ con-
tinued the Squire. ‘I can explain about
the winding oftliat road which puzzled
you so. It is a road I had cut to anumber
of board trees we had rived on the ground.
They were scattered about a good deal,
but none of them far from any given place
where you would strike the road, so that
you were no great distance at any time
from where this meeting occured. VVe

boys.’ ‘I expected" to find the horse here
—-he came on in this direction," said I~1"en--
ry. ‘No,’ said the Squire, ‘Stoner’s house
is beyond here.’
Henry now seated himself at the table,
and great as was the uncertainty attending
the fate of Stoner, these men were too
much accustomed to the vicissitudes and
accidents common in the life of the fron-
tier hunter to be affected by it for more
than a few moments, and the joke and the
laugh very soon went round as carelessly
and pleasantly as if nothing had occurred
at all unusual.
In the midst of this, the rapid‘ tramp of
a. horse at full gallop was heard approach-
ing. The Squire rose hastily and went
out, while the room was oppressively.still._
In a few moments he entered with con-
tracted browsand quite pale: ‘Stoner’s ne-
gro has been~sent~over by his wife to let
us know that his horse has returned with

for the humane and fatherly care of the

are still locafed’ at nuinerous points in both

with us is humiliating. The lords ofthe

Tiuu‘ EXCURSION.-\Ve suppose something’
must be said or sung about the Excursion to?’
Newport; and as no_one of the party has favored
us with a written account, we must inform ‘our ‘
readers what we have learned verbally, of the’:
affair. The run both‘ ways was fiivorable be-
yond expectation, and the sum of enjoyment be-
yond the hopes of the company, and with scarce-
ly a draw back. While some amused iheiii-=
selves with fishing, others were sight-seeing and
strolling about, and enjoying the objects of in-‘
terest and pleasure, in and about Newport and
Providence. OIhcr’s again ‘visited the “city of.
Notions,’ and ministered to their pleasure, look-
ing about this second city of the country. The
company in fine Spiflls, left Newport on their
return on Friday morning- In rounding point
,.ludiih, the wind fell away, and left the vessel‘
.mu:h to the sport ofa heavy swell. This last-'

kc-piup, and we are to be constrained, by the
gravity with which these preliminary steps are
taken, to put on a seemly deportinent, and to re-
sist the inclinaiion,—however strong, which
‘prompts the raising of the thumb to the end of
and fattening laugh.
\Ve hope our New I-laven friends will not be
frightened oulof their propriety by the above
announcement, as they set.-med to be during ilic
setting ofthe Legislature. It is our very dim),
crate opinion, that the loss of any very large
amount oftranquility of mind, on account ofthe
execution of said enterprize would be quite gra-
tuitous, ifnot quite silly. ‘
The Naugatiick Road, is new in the course of
survey by Prof. Twiniiig, assisted by Elizur

A correspondent ofthe Hartford Couraut calls
more particular attention to the following para-
graph which has gone the rounds of most of the

l ‘''About one liundred slaves lately com-
fbined and escaped together, from three
;countics in Maryland. They started for
?Pennsylvania. ' The mariners at the Navy
3 Yard in Washington were sent out in
icliase of the fugitives.—'Ilicy were over-
_takcn in l‘t‘Iarylaiid, mid a fight ensued.-—-
§The negroes were fired upon, and several
fwoundetl severely. About 30 were taken
«jllle rest effecting their escape.”
i \Vliat is a slave? A human being—a man-
one ofiliose who were born with inalienable
righisto life, liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness. He is robbed of these rights, and by phys-
'cal foice held in servitude. In the progress of
judicial investigation of his rights and Cllill:Il(.‘I€I',
Judge '.‘u‘cLcan of the Supreme Court of the U-

that he has a perfect right to run away at pleas-
ure; and when he has escaped, he is a freeman
like the rest ofus, until re-captured and again
brought under the same forced subjection. He
was a .sIave—li:is been a ficeman—and is new

These slaves then, had a perfect right to run
away. 'l'licy were feitercd by no obligations to
their masters. Their character as slaves, was
nothing inherent, but depended solely on out-
ward bonds, which shaken off, they were free-
in_en. They had lived on the soil of freedom,
under the very shadow of_ the lofty porches of
F reedom’s own temple, the capitol at Washing-

they every day heard was the inalienable right
of every man. They burst their fetters and fled-
So far, it was an everyday occurrence. South.
era papers have their columns filled Willi 1'0-

not make ourselves ridiculous before such cen-
