Teu years, ago saj-s a Louisana writer, a young mulatto ran away from the plan tation of 3Ir. Charles Ambrose, a sugar Lord at Bayou Fourche, La., stealing himself a piece of property worth a thousand dollars. lu the North he amassed a fourtune of a quarter of a mil- Hon. A few days ago he went back to his old home, travelling in onen dav- ljht w;th as little fear of bloodhounds and fugitive slave laws as if he were a white man, found his aged father aud mother among the freed folks, and settlc cd them comfortably, aud prosentcd a cot tage and a piece of land to his widowed mistress, whose family had been beg gared by thc war.

Ilis partner blushed, said nothing, but took his arm for the next dance. To Remove Stumps. A correspondent of the Rural Register says Mr. John Barnes, of Baltimore, re moved a troublesome stump from near his house in the following manner : "Last fall, with an inch auger, he bored a hole in the centre of the stamp ten inches deep, and into it put about half a pound of oil of vitriol, aud corked thc hole up tight. This spring, the whole stump and roots, extending through all their rami fications, were so rotten that they were easily eradicated."

A supplement to the school law has been introduced in the State Legislature, which proposes some changes in the school law of the State. Instead of six, hereaf-; tcr only three Directors are to be elected' in each district. The account of the School Board are to be submitted annu ally to the Auditor for settlement. They are to elect a district treasurer, who is to' give notice as soon as the duplicate is' placed in his hands that he will receive the taxes, ou which au abatement will be made for the speedy payment thereof. Thc office of Secretary of the Board is a bolished, and the duties thereof are to be performed by the Town Clerk of each dis trict, and he is to receive the same com pensation therefore as he now receives for other services. Should this bill be come a law, it will be observed that the' office of "Town Clerk" will become a much more importaut ouc than it has' been horctofore considered to be. lie is' to sign all papers emanating from the School Board.- The School Directors are' to be sworn.
