Curious Eject-—\Ve are credibly inform-
ed that a colored boy named Andrew Jack-
son,_of this vilage, drank a quantity of oil
of vitriol, the other day, in mistake for water,
at Messrs. Page's Paper Mill. Sweet oil
was immediately administered as an anti-
dote, and his life was saved. But another
effect, perhaps less grace to the boy, but more
curious to the public, has made its appear-
ance. His skin is bleached out in spots,
completely white, mnkingii picbald human

restored to him again, it will be a terrible

During thewlast « week 2-thecity of Boston
has witnessed _a repetition of the some dis-

quiet limits, as were recently enacted ll'tel'.l8'

The hero of the present movement is Thom-
as Simms, who secreted himself on board. a .
vessel while lying at Savannah,and who
was clearly proved to be the property of a
Mr. Potter, living abouttwelve miles from
that ‘city. . The defence set up-and principal-
ly relied on, was, as usual, the unconstitu-
tionality of the law. \Ve only wonder that
when,so miserable a subterfuge is thus can-
tinually resorted to, after the settlement
of'tli"at ‘long mooted point. that more summa-
ry progcess is not at once rigidly enforced,
instead of permitting the ends of ptiblicjus-
tice to be baffled, and the rights of honest
claimants to be withheld, through the par-
tinacious interference of such as thus seek to
distinguish theuiselves in the most iiiglorious
cause. We are happy to see, however, that
in the old “cradle of Liberty” may yet be
found a spirit that will not tolerate such
high handed measures of aggression upon
the officers ofjusttce as there practised by
the infurate colored populace, although they
are by no means as obnoxious to public cui-
sureas their designing or perhaps deluded
instigators. That the reader may see how
these things are regarded, we subjoin the
following : ‘ '

VVe understand that the military have re-
ceived orders to be on hand this evening,with
bullaiid cartridges. Ari attempton part ofthe
blacks, to rescue the slave Simms, ti night,
has been whispered about the Court House
lirougliout the day, but we trust that that
game will not be tried a second time. If it
is, there will be no child's play on the part
of the city authorities. VVe are rejoiced to
learn that our good Mayor is dteturtiiiried to
put things through this time, and his call up-
on t-he military, let us assure him, will re-
ceive a prompt response.

Some of the members of our volunteer
military are as much opposed to slavery as
the most rabid abolitionist among us; but
thank‘ God! There is not a man among
them all, but stands ready at a moment’s
warning to shoulder his musket, and if need
be, to fire a ball cartridge in defence of law
and order.

Singuar Rise in. the lVorl.l. —Some thirty
years ago-, there used to stand on Bloc-kfriar’s
Bridge inlthe city of London,from day to day
an apparently poor, lialf-wittedyouih; who
clothed in rags assumed a piteous, vacant
stare, and said to each who passed him,
“ Please to give me a half-penny, I’m not so
sharp as I should be.” Every one was amus-

while the lad retired to improve by coin-
merce the large sum he had collected. He
now lives in his splendid mansion, sporting
his hunters, and recei'v°mg “ all due honor.”

Democratic Initiation.

The dcniocrats of this town, had a very
intert.-sting time of it at their nieeting
on Saturday evening, to nominate a CilllLll-
date for R».~presentativc and Justices. ln ad-
dition to the usual C(‘l'(’.l!l0nleS on such occu-
sions, there was a formal iiiitiation, into the
tletnocratic housclioltl, of a gt-ntleman who
was fortiierly ti pl‘Ul‘l‘lln€‘l1l mt-mhcr oti the
wliig side. The ntlllle of the gr'l'lllr'lllllll al-
luded to, is Mr. Joseph 'l‘hotiipsnn. He
was prnpountled and presented by Col. 0.
B. Hall, whose rt.-tiiarlss were received with
great applause by the l’llt.‘t~llng'. On being
conducted to the stand, Mr. 'l'liomps0n dc-
live-red a short address, giving his rt.-asotis

stated that Mr. T. being a psychtilogictil sub-
ject and under his control, probably woultl
not be able to sing, except by his pcrtnission.
Ho theretiprin gave him special pt-rrriissiori,
and the Poem was then sting, in Mt‘

remained in the hold a few hours longer, it
is probable that a fearful explosion would
