TERRIBLE RAILROAD ACCIDENT NEAR
LANCASTER—NINE PERSONS BILLED—
TEE SCENE OF THE DISASTER—SCENES,
INCIDENTS, &C.—One of the saddest and
most horrible railroad accidents we have
ever been called upon to chronicle occurred
on the Pennsylvania Itailroad, four miles
west of this city, on Saturday afternoon last,
a few minutes before 3 o'clock. The horri
ble nature of the disaster and the social
standing and position of several of the
persons killed give the affair a melancholy
interest to all our readers.
The Day Express due here at 2.55 P. 31.,
and the Erie Express, which was several
hours behind time, were united together at
Harrisburg, and the engines of both attach
ed. The trains consisted of nine passenger
cars and two baggage cars. It arrived on
time at Landisville, which is six miles from
this city. It was running at a rapid rate of
speed, and when rounding a curve near
Kauffman's Mill, the disaster occurred-
All the persons killed were in the third pas
senger car. The supposition is that the
truck of the front wheels by some means
became detached and swung around, the
wheels passing through the wood work un
derneath, tearing the middle of the floor
and three seats on each side entirely out.
The persons killed were all seated in the
middle of the ear, and they of course were
hurled through and met with almost instant
death. The train run perhaps GO or 70yards
before it could be slopped, and the mangled
'bodies were strewn along the track.
The news was brought to this city by the
engineer of engine :331, one of the engines
attached to the train, and it spread rapidly.
Hundreds of people were in the depot
awaiting the arrival of the train, for the
purpose of proceeding to Philadelphia to
witness the Firemen's parade which takes
place there to-day. ((f course such news as
this deterred the large niajority of them
from going. At five o'clock the train ar
rived in this city with the dead and wound
ed on board.' Phe dead bodies were hnine
diately taken into the gentlemen's saloon at
the depot, where they were washed and
properly prepared for burial.
Deputy Coroner Snyder meanwhile sum
moned a jury, consisting of the following
named gentlemen : Capt. David flair, Jr.,
'Capt. S. W. Rowe, Wayne (1. Bender, A. S.
Bard, John Baker and William 11. (:able.
A number of physicians in the city were
also notified, awl several of them were

Hon. James P. Barr, Surveyor General of
Pennsylvania; Mr. John K. Shryock of
Chambersburg, Capt. Isaac Mona of l'hila•
delphia, and two or three others, whose
names we have been unable to learn, re
ceived slight injuries. Mr. Slu•yock and
Capt. Moffit proceeded on the same night to
Philadelphia.
Mr. Barr was seated in the middle of the
car facing his wife. When the accident oc
curred he caught hold of the window, and
by this means saved Ins life. Cite of his
boots was torn front Ins foot, and the latter
was sprained a little.
Mr. Joseph Stewart, of Harrisburg, a
brother of James Stewart, Esq., of his city,
was standing in the rear of those killed.—
He caught hold of one of the brass bars
beneath the sky-light, tints saving his life.
The escape of any one in the car from in
stant death or the most serious injury is
truly miraculous and altogether Providen
tial.
In company with the coroner's jury we
Paid a visit to the scene of the disaster yes
terday. It was fortunate that it occurred
on so level a piece of ground. Had there
been an embankment tnere is'im estimat
ing the loss of life which might have oc
curred. Four passenger cars, immediately
behind the one in which the persons ,s ••n•
killed, were thrown off the track, and in
fact were more badly used up than it. In
the last car one of the wheels passed
through the floor. Yet strangeto relate not
_a person was injured in either bf these cars.
The car in which the persons were killed
was new, and built expressly for the use of
ladies.
After the bodies were carried into the de
pot, (with the exception of that of Mrs. Barr,
which was taken to Mel lrann's Hotel,) and
recognized, dispatches were sent by tele
graph to different points to their friends.
Mrs. James P. Barr was about 9) years
of age. She was an amiable and accom
plished woman, and a most devoted wife
and mother. She leaves a family of nine
children, the youngest of whom is less than
a year old. Mr. Barr left for Pittsburg in
the 1.55 train on Sunday morning, taking
the remains of his wife with him. It was a
crushing blow to hint.
Gen. James Potter, of Lewistown, Pa., an
intimate friend of the family, and who by
the Merest accident was fortunately not on
the train, came on yesterday morning, and
took charge of the remains of Col. Butler
and wife. He went on with them last night.
Col. B. was well known throughout the
State, and was highly esteemed by all who
knew him. His age was about 56 years.—
His wife, a beautiful and accomplished
woman, was about 30 years of age. On her
Verson were found the following lines, which
are written in a delicate female hand.—
They have a touching beauty and signifi
cance just now:
Friends so near my bosom ever,
Ye have rendered moments dear!
But, alas, when forced to sever,
Then the stroke, 0 how severe.
Mr. William H. Butler, better known as
." Barney" Butler, was the eldest son of the
late Rev. William Butler, of Carlisle, for
nearly half a century a well-known clergy
man of the Methodist Church. "Barney"
was likewise a brother-in-law of John B.
Beck, Esq . ., of Williamsport. Several years
ago he represented Carbon county in the
Legislature, and at the time of his death
was a clerk in the Surveyor General's Office
-.at Harrisburg. He was one of the kindest
4earted of men; had a great flow of wit and
iand was Sateepae4 by who Iciaew
him for his many-fite social qualities. His
remains were taken to Williamsport last
night in charge of Col. Frederick E. Em
bick, a son-in-law of Mr. Beck.
Mrs. Yetta, of Milwankie, Wisconsin
who was killed, was accompanied by her
three little children, neither of whom was
killed nor injured. The eldest is only.
seven years of age. They have been takesi
in charge by Mrs. Owen Hopple, who has
shown them every attention and is deserv
ing of all praise.
The other persons who were killed we
had no acquaintance With or knowledge of.
The friends of all can rest assured, how
ever, that every respect was paid their re
mains by Geo. F. Breneman, Esq., Solicitor
of the Company in this city; Capt. George
L. Boyle, Despatcher ; Mr. John Keller,
Mr. A. F. Hambright, Mr. Edward Kautz
and other railroad officials, and by our phy
sicians and citizens generally.
The bodies of Mrs. Yetta, and the sup
posed mother and daughters, whose names
and residences are not known, have bee
placed in the receiving vault of Woodward
Hill, to await the recognition and claims of
their friends.
The coroner's jury have not yet decided
to the cause of the disaster.
THE FUNERAL OF CAPT. HERR—MA
SON lc OnsEoutEs.--The funeral of the late
Capt. Daniel Herr, of Columbia, took place
on Thursday afternoon. It was the most
solemn and imposing pageant ever wit
nessed in that borough, conducted accord
ing to Masonic rites and ceremonies. Co
lumbia Commandery, No. 1.1, of Knights
Templar, and Lodge No. 43, A. N. M., of
this city, together with York Comumndery,
of York, and Columbia Lodge, No.
2z-41, took part in the ceremonies. Eminent
(010 wander Sir Charles M. Nowell, of this
city, was also present. Before the proces
sion left the house the hag. and sword as a
Sir Knight of the deceased were placed on
the coffin. The funeral services at the house
were conducted by Rev. John Cromlish,
Rector of the Episcopal Church of Colum
bia. At 3 o'clock the procession moved in
the following order:
City Cornet Band of Lancaster, playing
the " Bead March in Saul."
:Nlarshal—Sir Knight Charles K. Wentz,

The procession to the mournful dirge olk ,
the Band moved along Front to Locust
street, and out Locust to the cemetery. On
arriving at the grave the Sir Knights formed
around the same in the shape of Wtriangle,
and outside of these the Lodges formed in
a circle with clasped hands. 'Pule ritual or
funeral services of knight Ii ml was then read
by Eminent Commander, Sir Charles H.
Howell. The closing part of the ritual is in
the following beautiful words: "His sword,
vowed only to be drawn in the cause of
truth, justice and rational liberty, resposes
still in its scabbard, and our arms eon no
more shield him from wrong or oppression."
The Sir K nights at this point returned their
swords to their scabbards. The Prelate,
Sir llugh S. (lara, then read a lesson from
the Holy Scriptures, the responses being
made by the Sir Knights. A tribute of re
spect to the deceased, or " record monu
ment," was then read by the Recorder, Sir
J. M. WesthaetTer, of Columbia Comma nd
ery, No. 13. It is as follows:
This Record Monument is inscribed to
the memory of Sir Knight Daniel Herr, who
died October 11, 1865, and a member of l'o
bun bia Com mandery, so. 13, Lancaster,
Pennsylvania.
Arnied in the cause of Truth—of Justice
and the Constitution, he entered the army—
and fought valiantly and nobly in defeneeof
of his country's liberty and her institutions.
(fad has smiled upon us, and Peace has
spread her snow white wings over our here
tofore distracted and 4rleeding country.
The pilgriin warrior has exchanged the
scenes at the battle- field for the joys of
I leaven aid the crown of glory - which can
never fade away.
• A hymn was then sung by the Sir Knights,
and a prayer offered by the Prelate. The
Junior - Warden, Sir William A. Morton, of
Columbia Commandery, No. 1:;, then re
moved the hat and sword of the deceased
from the coffin. Another passage from the
ritual was then read by the Prelate, and
the Junior Warden presented the sword of
the deceased to the Eminent Commander,
who upon receiving the same read a passage
from the ritual, one sentence of which is as
"Our departed brother Sir Knight
was taught, while living, that this sword,
in his hands, as a true and courteous
Knight, was endowed with three most esti
mable qualities. Its hilt with fortitude un
daunted; its blade with juNtice impartial,
and its point With Mere)/ unrestrained. -
Senior Warden, Sir A. .1. Kauffman, of
Columbia Commandery, No. 13, then pre
sented a cross to the Prelate, who placed
the same on the coffin, and read a beautiful
extract from the ritual. A cross of steel
over the grave was then made in the shape
of a triangle by P. E. Coat., Sir U.S. Kauff
man of Commandery No. 13, E. Coin., Sir
Fitz J. Evans of No. 21, and Senior War

last report. The arrivals were only ii head
bought up in the county. 40 head were
shipped to Philadelphia market, leaving 7
head in the stables.
TEIE CORN Cieot•.—From all our exchan
ges and from all parts of the country we re
ceive information that the corn crop of the
present season will be unprecedently large.
This is a subject on which we hear no com
plaint from any quarter. The universal
warm weather which has so distinguished
the present month has contributed essent
ially to this result, and the intense heat of
which we all complained is thus proved to
have been ont of those blessings in disguise
which we are all taught to expect but never
see till they are past.
THE NEW COTTON FACTORY.—Operations
towards the erection of the new Cotton Fac
tory in this city were commenced last week,
and considerable progress has been made,
the digging of the foundation being com
pleted. The site selected is the southwest
corner of Duke and Lemon streets, directly
opposite Newton Lightner, Esq. We learn
that all the necessary arrangements have
been made and all materials towards the
early completion of the enterprise, such as
brick, machinery. etc., have been contract
ed for, and are now being constructed. The
name of the new firm is Wiley, Bituer
Co.
BURIAL OF TRADER:Us' RECONSTRUCTION
PLAN.—A very important event lately oc
curred in our midst which has entirely es
caped the notice of our " loyal" neighbor of
the Express. As a faithful 'chronicler of
public events, it is not our province to let
such things pass into oblivion unnoticed.
And further, because of our charitable dis
position, we are constrained to assist our
neighbor aforesaid out of his predicament,
and shall attempt a description of what we
observed, and "nothing extenuate nor aught
set down in malice."
On Saturday afternoon, October 14th,
1865, our citizens were somewhat startled
from thelethargy, to which„ they had re
signed themselves since the election, by the
shrill notes of the piercing fife and the meas
ured beat of the noisy drum, accompany
ing a somewhat novel and ludicrous pro
cession, quietly wending its snail-like pace
through Centre Square. We were greatly
puzzled to divine the meaning ot this gor
geous cavalcade, headed by a richly-orna
mented chariot, drawn by asingleprancing
steed, whose fiery curvetings and frolicsome
leaps drove the crimson flush from the obese
cheeks of the fat and frightened driver.--
Frontr the sad and serious faces of the boys
and men occupying the various equipages.
we at last concluded that'it was a funeral
procession engaged in the last sad obsequies
of consigning to oblivion the cherished hopes
of reconstruction on Stevens' plan. Four
mourners occupied the first carriage, and,
in order that Jit.stu-v may be done, we will
attempt impartially to describe them.
The driver, dubbed Uey in boyhood, but
latterly familiarly addressed as •S'etiator,
(which appellation would,be,perfectly appli
cable if favors were appreciated and justice
awarded to:a faithful servant,) seems to have
had sole control of the solemn and impos
ing pageant, for his restless eye would scan
the busy crowd of passers-by to note the
sympathetic tear or catch the cypress
wreath.
Next to Uny eat a le:other-typo of the Orp
(lain) or. ler, whose elongated visage, bronz
ed by a Southern sun and marked by the
fatigue and toil of war, spoke of battled
hopes of reconstruction on the Madras
plan.
The other two were so snugly ensconced
in the rear of the carriage, and had so close
ly thrown around them the habiliments of
mourning, that it was next to impossible to
catch a glimpse of their troubled faces.
Next in order Caine a furniture car load
ed with boys of small and larger growth.—
Conspicuous among them we noticed the
good-natured but pugnacious Chuck, sup
ported by the irascible and flatulent Fungy.
A third held aloft a placard or banner, on
which were caricatured the kind of animals
contained in the wagon.
In the rear of this, and which formed the
tail end of the funeral cortege, was a large
pistol drawn on wheels by two fish baskets,
followed by four large boys—the one, Old
Bill, bearing on his shoulder a long pole
with a bunch of wool on one end. Another,
Young Bill, held in his hand a huge club
shaped like a potato-masher. The third,
" Old Dmi, - looked as if he had been fright
ened at the ery of ',tort ;" while the fourth,
" Aoaey," seemed to exemplify the trite say
ing, " How P.M/ in human flesh." These
were evidently the chief mourners, for all
along the route of procession could be seen
the falling tears moistening the parched
earth, while the sorrow depicted on their
pale cheeks and the inclination of their
heavy heads gave token of their sad bereav
ment.
- We heard a small Loy, after gazing with
bewildered look at tie• huge paraphernalia,
utter the applicable saving, " lil name's
llaines, and I'm Mt" And we are per
haps rash in concluding that by looking at
these rear mourners through a Kale-ide
scope that the four would scarcely make a
/10U-titan.
What course the procession took after
passing up East King street we are unable
to say; hot, judging from the noise heard
shortly afterward, we imagine there roust
have been some weeping and wailing and
crashing of glass as the last sad rites were
being performed over the short-lived North
ern plan of reconstruction of the Southern
States.
Pleader, our task is finished.
I I onsE-Tu lEVES.—.ludging from the
number of advertisements in our exchan
ges, offeringlrewards for the recovery of sto
len horses, there must be a regular band of
organized thieves operating from one end of
the State to the other. These rascals do not
confine themselves to one county, as will be
inferred from the fact that we have within
the past few weeks seen many hand-bills and
advertisements for the recovery of horses
stolen in Lancaster, lierks, York, Chester,
Lebanon, Adams, Franklin and Cumber
land eounties. IMr police must be on the
alert, while farmers and livery stable men
must combine to protect themselves from
the operations of these evidently well or
ganized hands of horse-thieves
LAND SALES.—The farm of David Salmi,
deceased, in West Earl township, contain
ing, DM acres, was last week sold at puhlic
sale for $1!17.50 per iicre—Jacob L. Erb, pur

Fulton Hall wits sold yesterday afternoon
to Messrs. Hilaire Zaepfel and B. Yecker
for $16,300. This is a cheap property. The
gentlemen who have purchased it are en
terprising and energetic, and under their
ownership it will be made one of the most
convenient and beautiful halls in the State.
It is now the largest outside of Philadel
phia and Pittsburg. We wish them every
success.
SAD OccumtENcE.—A sad accident oc
curred to two men, named Samuel Cooper
and Daniel Lefevre, while engaged at work
in a stone quarry, near Quarryville, this
county, on Friday morning last. On Thurs
day afternoon, it appears, they had put In a
blast which did not go off, and on Friday
morning were in the act of boring it out
when it exploded, throwing them up, and
burning and mangling them in a shocking
manner. Mr. Lefevre had the little ringer
of his right hand blown off with a portion
of the hand; the palm was also blown out,
and one of his legs, between the knee and
thigh, burned to a crisp, and his clothing
burnt off. Mr. Cooper was badly burned
about the head, and had one of his eyes
blown out. Both men were taken. to their
homes at Quarryville. It is thought that
Mr. Lefevre's hand will have to be ampu
tated.
Mns. BARR, who lost her life in the late
Railroad accident,had on her person a Gold
Watch which we are anxious to recover for
her family. It is supposed to have had en
graved on it the name of Rose Duiller y, or
at least the initials R. D. The Watch was
torn from its - chain, which remained on the
body of Mrs. Barr. Any information con
cerning it will be thankfully received, and
the person furnishing it will be duly re
warded, at tne Lancaster IntelZigencer office.
To BE MUSTERED OUT.--The 195th Regi
ment, P. V. V., Col. Joseph W. Fisher,
now lying at Washington, D. C., and in
which are a number of companies from this
county, we learn, are about to be mustered
out of service, either to-morrow, or a few
days thereafter,
'MA LE AND FEMALE-. REEOVEL"—Mra.
.
Sarah J. Hale, the: eiccorEttOUShed editor of
the Lady's Book, is endeavarthg to cause a
reform by abolishing the use Of the * 6 rd
-" female" for woman and " male for matt.
She contends that these designatioNe
grade men and women by placing thereon
a level with the lower animals. They a."
never used in the Bible in the sense they
are now commonly used. There, human
beings are called "man" and "woman."
The words " male" and "female" are adjec
tives applicable alike to all animals, and it
is n t 9t, a little singular that they should be
corffe the specific designations of the sexes
of the highest species alone, by the common
usage ofeducated writers and speakers. And
so " firmly grounded" has thisbsage become
that we fear Mrs. Hale has undertaken a
hopeless task. There is no question that
she is right in her view of the matter—that
" man" and " woman" are the proper, as
they are the Bible dessgnations of human
beings, and that to call them by -names
common to all animals is to degrade them
to a level with the lowest. Writers, public
speakers and teachers can do much to work
the desired change in this matter, and it is
well they should make the effort.
SALE OF City PROPERTY.—The well
known business stand, situated on North
Queen street, east side, and occupied by
Messrs. Shultz ct Brother as a bat store tbr
a nuudiet of years, has been purchased
by that firm from Thos. E. Franklin, Esq.,
for $lO,OOO. It belonged to the estate of the
late I 'ol. Geo. Mayer.
Also, the well-known hotel property,
the "Western Hotel," situated in West
Orange street, the property of Adam Trout
has been sold to Phillip Morgret for $13,OOO•
Lit) or His .T.N.ItirRIES.—CA. James
Humphrey, of Downingtown, Chester co.,
who was seriously injured smut three or
four weeks since, and which was noticed in
these columns at the time, died from the
effects of his injuries on Saturday last. Col.
H. was well known in this portion of the
State. lie was a prominent and influential
Democrat, and in all the relations of life
was a most estimable gentleman.

Begging a Profitable Business
But few persons, perhaps, except those
having a direct knowledge of the secret
of police affairs, have any idea of the
frauds perpetrated upon the community
by a certain disreputable class known
to the initiated as "professional beggars,"
and whilst it is not our desire to do or
say aughtagainst praiseworthy charities
it is proper that the community should
be warned against the frauds of those
who trade upon their benevolence.
Doubtlessr many of our citizens are fa
miliar with the personal appearance of
two miserable-looking objects, both over
fifty years of age, who have been per
ambulating our streets asking alms, one
with a picture in his hands representing
a horse and cart and a man, the latter
being blinded by lightning, and the
other with an enormous cross and string
of beads upon his neck, both claiming
to be totally blind, and each carrying a
bundle. The parties in question first
made their appearance in Baltimore
about ten days since, and after canvas
sing this city thoroughly, left for Wash
ington and were absent for several days.
Having exhausted the charitable pa
tience of the Washingtonians, they
again returned to Baltimore on Wed
nesday last, and made application to
Marshal Carmichael to he sent on to
Philadelphia, stating that neither of
them had the means to pay their fare
thither. The Marshal was about to ac
cede to their request, when his suspi
cions were aroused by one of them, who,
in the exuberance of his delight,
"opened his eyes and saw;" whereupon
the Marshal ordered them to be searched
when upon the person of each were
found bags filled with postage currency,
amounting to several hundred dollars,
which they unhesitatingly stated was
the result of their Baltimore and Wash
ington operations. The Marshal . in
stantly ordered them out of the city, riu
the Philadelphia railroad, informing
them that if they entered it again they
would be sent to jail. It seems, upon
examination, that only one of them is
blind, the other being his accomplice.
The two impostors gave their names as
James Murphy and Henry Williams.—
Baltimore Gazelle.
The Atlantic Telegraph
A. Hamlin, a distinguished French
Savant. has made some suggestions
through the French Journals in rela-.
tion to the Atlantic Telegraph which if
correct will be of the greatest import
ance.
Instead of stretching the cable all the
distance between Ireland and New
foundland, he proposes to make use of
two small islands which lie between
them, and which, although laid down
upon the old French navigators' charts,
seem to have been utterly forgotten in
the calculations of the recent unsuccess
ful enterprise. In fact, they are even
omitted on most of our modern maps.
The one entitled the Isle Verte (or
Green Island,) is in longitude 47 deg.
north ; the other, called the Isle Jaquet,
is in 42 deg. west of Paris and 47 deg.
north latitude, and, availing itself of
these islets, the Telegraphic Company
would divide their cable into three sec
tions, as follows :
Ist, via Ireland and Newfoundland.
From Valentia, in Ireland, to the Ile
Verte-313 kilometric leagues. From
Ile Verte to Ile Jaquet-2-14. From Ile
Jaquet to Newfoundland-231. Total
leagues 790.
In a subsequent issue we shall devote
more space to the consideration of this
It seems astonishing that facilities so
obvious should have been overlooked by
men of so high a scientific character
as is usually accorded to the promoters
of the grandest enterprise of modern
times.

cated Dangerfield property in Alexandria,
valued at $50,000, to be restored to Mrs

MESSES. EDITORS year or LW° since
your columns contained certain hisiciriPil
documents showing the complicity of men
in the New England States, and Massschn
setts in particular, in slavery and the sla;e
trade in the olden times. - It is much to be
d e ,sired that those papers should be collect
ed aL.'d given to the public in a volume, they
serve tO
throw so much light upon the his
tory of a ,luestion of the grandest interest,
both in Liral and national point of view
and which,
- -
t totiks to Heaven, is now for
ever disposed a:. ,Now that this terrible
evil and wrong has' ceased to exist; let mu
tual enmination and denunciation, and all
ill-feeling cease, and s„'t parties, seeing and
acknowledging their p, vacillation in the
guilt, shake hands with a WPM"' confes
sion of blame, and, eherishi."kg only senti
ments of sorrow for the past, of broth
erhood for the present, move ( ;nward to a
happy and glorious future.
Spending sortie weeks in the venerable
and staid town of Medford, Mass., it half
dozen miles out of Boston, I unexpectedly
met with some ancient documents relaL'ng
to the early history of the town, from which
it appeared that slavery and theslave trade
existed even in this quiet, moral and intel
ligent town, from about the time of its set
tlement, in 1630, down to the commence
ment of the Revolutionary war, though
now I holed to see a solitary negro in the
streets, even the barber being "a full
blooded Caucasian. Slaves were brought
here and sold as early as the year 1631, only
eighteen years after the arrival of the Pil
grims at Plymouth, and eight years after
the settlement of the town by a colony from
Salem. In 1737 Captain William Pierce
was employed to carry captive requod
In
dians to the West Indies, and there sell
them for slaves! Slavery iu those days was
not limited by complexion, for the Puritans
would as readily reduce to bondage the red
men on this continent, who fought simply
for their firesides and liberty, as the black
race on another continent,
,--2; , he did not
light at all, but were simply'- stolen. Car
goes of slaves, however, were not brought
to this town, though a celebrated slave
trader had his almost princely house and
butte here, while his slaves were carried in
to 13,,5t0n and Bristol, It. 1., or wore gener
ally directly to Virginia and South Caro
lina.
Not long since, sometime last winter, I
believe, an individual, whose travels had
extended as far as Charleston, S. C., discov
ered in that city an auctioneer's block from
which negroes were sold. He procured it,
whether by purchase or in the way some

An irresistible curiosity impelled me to
search out and see with my own eyes this
strange relic, and humiliating as strange,
and setting oil' without a guide, I found it
in the outskirts of the large central village.
There stands an ancient, spacious and well
preserved hOUse, set far hack from the street,
in the centre of half a dozen acres of land,
with inside graveled walks leading to it, and
elegant trees embowering it and scattered
around the grounds, a handsome garden
and a summer house, the works of the first
owner, lying back of it, while in the rear of
the almost princely mansion, and near one
toner, stands a house for the domestics of
the successive owners, who were gentlemen
of wealth and position.
The slave-pen, which was just hack of the
house of the domestics, has been united
with it, and both now make one building,
while the slave-pen remains unimpaired
and entire. The odiousness and horror of
the " institution" are abate by the consoli
dation of the two edifices ; but still, in the
ear of the thoughtful and imaginative be
holder, the chains still rattle, and liefia-e his
eyes stand human beings, with downcast
looks, fresh from the coast of Afrfca; while
others, with manacled hands, are marching
down to the ship, under the whip of a Pil
grim driven, which is to take them to a
Southern market. It is painful to stand,
and gaze, and remember, but one cannot
help lingering, and I was obliged to go a
second time and spend another hour.
The Pilgrims had their virtues ; all homr
to their memories! But they also had their
defects, marked and painful, as this relic
testifies; and while it remains, and as long
as it is remembered, their descendants
should not be too boastful. When anv one
of them gets upon the " high-falutin" in
self-glorification, on some anniversary oc
casion, or public gathering, let some one
raise before his eyes a fragment of the old
slave-pen. Barnum might not only make
"a good thing of it," but "a big thing,"
and even "a fat thing," by adding it to his
collection of rarities and wonders ; or a less
enterprising genius, by carting it through
the country as a show. And wonders never
cease. Colonel Tsaac Royall was tile own
er of this estate, with which an extensive
farm was once connected. His father came
from the island of Antigua, where the son
was born, who with his father emigrated to
this country in 1735, and settled in Medford,
where the father died, who wits also a Colo
uel, and a rich planter and slaveholder in
his own island, and a 't'ory when he came
here. The son was simply a coward, and
upon the out lu.en k of the Revolution, tied to
Halifax, and thence to Ellglallll, where by
died in 1781. lie was a slave-trader on the
-coast of Africa and in the South till the
time he fled the country. In 1771 he wrote
from Halifax to his agent in Medford as
ollows:
"Please sell the following negroes:
Stephen and George ; each cost .rOO sterling,
and I would take ;C,50 apiece for them.
Hagar cost Z-15 sterling, but I will take £3O
for her. I gave for Mira £35, but will take
.-£2.5. If Mr. Benjamin Hale will give $lOO
for her, which he offered, he may have her,
it being a good place. As to Betsy and her
daughter Nancy, the former may tarry, or
take her freedom, as she may choose, and
Nancyyou may put out to any good family
by the year."
Again he wrote:
"I shall leave North America with great
reluctance, but my health and business re
quire it, and I hope, through the goodness
of God, if my life is spared, to be able to
return again soon."
Col. ROyall did not forget the country he
had made his home, even after be had de
serted it, and found another iu England.
By his will, he bequeathed 2,000 acres of
land to lay a foundation for a professorship
of law in Harvard University, while the
rest of his estate was confiscated. The pro
ceeds of the land were left to accumulate till
they were sufficient for the support of a
professor. The professorship bears his own
name, every annual catalogue proclaiming
to the world that the greatest anti-slavery
State in the Union educates at this very day
her sons by the endowment of a slave-hold
er and slave-trader, and the proceeds of the
sale of innocent men, women and children,
stolen on the coast of Africa, penned in
Medford, and sold again in Virginia and
South Carolina! So strangely are things
connected, and so littlehas even Massachu
setts and New England whereof to glory!
