gusted, (we are credibly informed) with his politi
cal associates here, and satisfied that all attemps
to turn the Democracy of Bradford fmm their cher

more "ii:zreeahle and profitable poet wherever lie
may see fit to locate—and if he is now Pallslied we
told. him the truth in. that memorable ride in the
stage horn NVavetly hi re, we will bury the past in
oblivion. IVe . have no doubt he was the victim of
rireumsamp:es—that pro Mises and professions
hrought him here, whin ere never intended-to
be fulfilled, and thou- may have been limiest
himself, he fell int very Ira company.. '

are made which will in time be made public.—

Democracy of Bradford the fraud attemped to. be
imictipe.l upon them, in the North Pearrsy/cen'irrn

Abstract of the Fugitive Slave Law.
The new law for the vecaptuse of logitive slaves,
'which is now in full force, is drawn up with such
verbosity as to make
.it a.task !linking, considera
ble patience to sift out its proviAnns-. This is done
in the following abstract which we find in the Bos-
soft PraseHer. The provisions of the law are strin
gent, as the penalties are severe. It is designed to
give•every possible facility for the recovery of the•
fugitive slave, and if it fails of this object, it will'
not be because its terms are not sufftriently harsh
an exacting:
" 1. The Uttiied States Com, warmers are au
ihorixed and required to discharge all the powers
and duties conferred Ig this act. 2. 3, and . 4. The
second, third ; and fourth sections provide, that the
Superior Court of each territory of the tnited States
phall have power to appoint commi,gtionera, who
are tote. invested with concurrent juriailiction in
relation to fugitivell, with the judges with the Cir-
enit and .District Courts of the United States. 5
ittarshalls antl Deputies are required to execute all
warrants and preeeptt., or other procestes ler the ar•
rest and detection of fugitives, under penally of a
fine of .-:'1000 fur the nee of the claimant of finchfu
g.jtire ; Pmd in case of the escape of a fugitive from
the cu.tokly of a Marshal, whether with or whhobt
his knowledge and connivance, said Marshal is to
Ire liable to a prosecution for the lull value of the
said fugitive. The Commissioners have alao'1ow•
er to appoint suitable persons from time to lime, to
execute all suet Warrants Warrants and,other processes need
' fel for the arrest %Ind detention of fogitives, with
power to call on the pour condirma for assistance;
if needed. 1. The owner, or the attorney of any
owner of any fugitive slave, is stuthorized to seize
such fugitive, with or without warrantor process,
and take him before the commissioner, whose du
ty it shall be to determine the case in is summary
mariner and on proof, by deposition or affidavit or
other satisfactory testimony, of the escape and iden
tity of sail fugitive, and of the right of said claim
. ant to the service of said fugitive, the,cominission
er shall make out and deliver to said claimant, a
certificate,- setting forth the substantial facts in the
ease, with authority to use necessary force and ma
,
traint to-take and remove such fugitive to the state
• or territory from which he has escaped. The les
' timony of the fugitive is in no case to be admitted.
7. Any person who shall knowingly hinder the ar
rest or. a fugitive, or shall conceal him, or attempt
to rescue him after arrest, or assist such fugitive, di
rectly or indirectly, to escape, shall be liable to a
fine of $1033 and six nrinths imprisonment and to
n suit for damands of 1-10.00 for each fu,gitivelost to
his owner by said obstruction or' rescue, the same
to be recovered-by civil process. B. This section
relates to fees, &c., to be pant those concerned in
the arrest of fugitives. 9. In case a rescue is ap
prehended, after fiat -delivery of a fugitive to his
master, the officer dlio effected the arrest may . be
required to take tho slave to the place from whence
he escaped, and to emiiloy, at the expense of the
U. S. Treasury, as many persons as-may be neces
sary to prevent a rescue until he can be delivered
to his master in the Kate from which he fled. 10.
The last section prescribes 'that on the escape of
- slave, the master, or his attorney, may make,satis
fietory proof to some court or judge., in vacation, of
his owner-ship of an escaped shave, whereupon die
court are required to issue an authenticated copy of
raid testimony, with a description of the person of
the fugitive, and this authenticated copy being ex
' hibited to any judje, commissioner or other offi
cer authorised to act in the premises, shall beheld
as conclusive evidence of the escape of said slate,
and of the cLorn.uit's right to said fugitive, oho
shall be delivered up on this testimony to his.mas.

were not whalers, and that epaulets were worn, by
some of the white men, that part of the crews were
drowned ; Mot the remainder were sometime in
houses or tents, apart from the natives; that they
hail 2uns, but no balls, and that being in a weak
- and exhausted condition, they were subsequently
killed by the natives with darts or arrows. The

A THRILLuic isciDeNT—Lick: ORTAIRIO CROSSED
IN AR OPEN BOAT DURIND A STORM.—On Wearies
day lacy as one of the heaviest gales of the season
was sweeping over the broad bosom of Lake Onta.
rni, the little schooner Prosperity was riding safeiy
41 anchor under the Canadian sitore..at the mouth
Of Dofrralscreek, about 25 Miles east of Tormetn„—
The Prosperity was manned by Capt, Harrington,
! the owner, his son , and one man'; although' ,a
'mall crew in number, they were equal to tW-ir
L ltask, as the sequel will show. Some ship stores
"being wanted, the captain and crew went on shore
in their only small boat, a (flat bottomed WOO*,
r•about 15 feet I. ng, and 4 feet wide, commonly call.
red a punt,) to procure them. BP the time they
were ready to return to the schooner, the Wind had
greatly increased in violence, but did not deter
them from attempting a passage.
They put off from the shore in their frail craft,
which soon became unmanageable to a great ex
tent, and they were carried past the vessel ink, the
Lake, despite of all their efforts. The people on
the :bore who saw them were unable to render any
assistance, and of course gave them up for lost.—
Not so with captain Harrington ; he resolved to
puke the most he could o[ his craft, and test his
powers as a navigator. Many brave men would
have despaired at such a time, and with such pros
pects ; a wide warts of waters before, lashed into
fury by the violent "Nor'wester" from behind, and
only a miserable wo-den trough without sail, and
poorly soppliea with oars, between him and the
tumbling waves that threatened momentarily to en•
gulf them.
Captain H. saw that his only chance of safely
was in running directly before the wind and waves.
He ordered his man and boy to lie down ir. the
bottom of the boat, and trim it as well as possible,
while he took an oar and steered the little bark be
fore the gale. She dashed on amid the white caps,
:aboring hard to withstand the fury of the waves,
which she nobly braved fur eleven hours--long
hours io the captain, who sat at the steering oar,
and his companions who were lying in the bottom
of the boat expecting every momenttb be engulfed
by each wave, which rolled successiiely by. Af
ter eleven hours of anxiety arid imminent danger
thus passed the captain discovered the American
shore, and effected a landing in safety, with great
hazard.
Caps. 'Harrington, on taking a brief, reckoning
found himself sixteen miles east of Niagara River,
having drifted across, the Lake a little west of the
widest part. He hail probably sailed fifty miles in
his (Fab craft, amid a heavy storm—a teat, we
think, unparalelled in the history of Lake naviga
gation. It was that an act worth telling of a hero,
that "Bill Johnson of the Thousand Isles" crasser]
the lake in a good yawl at the risk of a storm, but
to cross in a punt while a storm was raging, as did
Capt. H. and his crew, makes Johnson's feat dwin
dle into significance.
Capt. Harrington was not scrovercome by the fa
tigue of his voyage, but that he immediathly started
for Niagara, and there took the steamer for Toron
to, and on Thursday appeared at Data's, to the
great statonishment of the good people there, Who
had
. given him up' for lost.—Rocherfer Advertises.

Samaria DtSCASC or rim Eve.—A girl of six
teen years age, having applied on account cd tom
sight of her left eye, the cane was ascertained to
be the presence of a living worm or haytid (the
rystirrereus of scientific naturalists) in the eye, close .
before the pupil, which is completely obstructed.—
This species of animal consist of a round bug about
the size of a pea, from which, on nno side, !rings
its body, which is a filament, consisting 'of nume
rous rings, and capable of being elongated and re
tracted at the creature's will. The body ends in a
neck and head, and the latter is supplied with four
latteral sockets. All this is plain to the naked eye
bat appeared stid more"so when the animal was
viewed through a microscope. As the existence
of such a creature in the interior of toe eye, not only
prevents vision, but ultimately destroys the whole
textures of the organ, it was resolved to remove it
by o p eration. This was successfully effected late.
ly. The patient behaved with per fe ct steadiness,
and' found her vision imMediately restored. The
hydatid continued to live for more than half an
hour after being extracted. Only four similar cases
are on record.—Giasgmo Chronsck..
