Meeiting Slave Tragedy—A Mother Sacrificing
her Child.
A party of seventeen slaves escaped from
Boone and Kenton counties, in Kentucky,
(about sixteen miles from the Ohio) on Sunday
night, Jan. 27th, and taking with them two
,horses and a sleigh, drove that night to the
— DUO — River, opposite to Western Row, Cincin
nag, Leaving the horses and sled standing
there, they crossed the river on foot on the ice.
Five of them were the slaves of Archibald K.
Gaines, three of John Marshall, both living in
Boone County, and six of Levi F. Daugherty,
of Kenton County. The claimants of the other
three are not mentioned. In Cincinnati the
fugitives took refuge in the house of a colored
man named Jo. Kite,.formerly himself a slave.
About 7 o'clock - in the morning the masters of
the slaves arrived in pursuit, swore out a war
rant, and about 10 o'clock the Deputy U. S.
Itfarshal proceeded there with his posse, includ
ing the slave-owners and their agent and Major
Murphy, a Kentuckian. Hite was called out
and agreed to open the door, hut afterward re
fused, when two Kentucky officers, assisted by
some of the Deputy Marshals, forced it, where
upon the young negro man Simon, the father
of the children, fired a revolver three times be
fore he was overpowered. By one of . these
shots Special Marshall John Patterson had two ,
of his fingers of his right hand shot off, the ball
afterwards striking his lip. In the house were
found old Simon and wife, and young Simon
and his wife, and four child - ban of the latter, the
oldest near six years and the youngest a babe
of about nine months. One of these - , named r
Mary Garner, aged three years, was lying on
the floor dying. its head cut almost entirely off.
There was also a gash about four inches long
in the throat of the eldest. end a wound on the
head of the other boy. The other nine of the ;
fugitive slaves had been aided to escape before
the arrival of the officers. The slave woman.'.
mother of the child. whose name is Margaret
Garner, has acknowledged that she killed her
child with a butcher knife. and that her deter
mination was to have killed all the children.;
and then destroyed herself, rather than returtvf
to slavery. She and the others complain of
cruel treatment On the part of their master,
and allege that as the cause of their attempt to ;
escape. She is held for examination on a
charge of murder, and two of the fugitives are
also held as accessories.
Mammoth Trees.
John T. Haines, Esq., of 'West Chester. who
is now in California. in a letter to his friends
here, dated Sonora. Nov. 16, It•'ss. gives an ;
count of a visit to the " Mammoth Trt e Grove,"
in Calaveras county, California. We make the !
following extract : This grove contains eighty
five
monster trees in an area of tiff acres.— !
The most perfect one is 95 feet in circumfer.
ence, and measured after it was cut down, 300
feet in length ; it'is estimated by the grains in
the stump to be 3000 years old. It required
five men 25 days to fell the tree, which was
done by boring ; the same number of men were
employed three weeks longer. in stripping the
bark off 52 feet high. On the Upper Trail, the
first tree of note is 80 feet high. No 2, " the'
Three Sisters," is a group, evidently g-own
from the same root and together measure 92
feet to the first limb of the centre tree. No. 3
18.150 feet high and 70 feet in circumference.—'
No. 4 is nearly 600 feet high and 70 feet in
circumference. No. sis 320 feet high and 75
feet in circumference. No. 0, Hercules" is
550 feet high and 107 feet in circumference.—
It is the largest tree in the grove, and would
make 725.000 feet of lumber : it is very imper
fect, being burned on one side. No. 7, the
" Husband and Wife." are about 250 feet high.l
and each sixty feet in circumference, bearing
towards each other very affectionately at the
top. No. 8, the " Family Group, of 26 trees.

trees, among which are the Old Maid," 260
feet. high and 60 feet in circumference. she
stands single and alone in her grief, and her
head, unlike any other tree in the grove, is bare
and slightly bowing. " Ada and Mary." are
other noted trees. called after two young ladies
who made their first buggy drive to the grove.

ir - ?'A Monica AND Two C011.D100: FROZEN
TO DEATIL—In the town of Droonie, New York, I
last week, a Mrs Thomson. with three child-
ren. a boy, girl, and an infant, went to a
neighbor's by the name of Reed to spend the I
-evening at a quilting, her husband promising I
to come after them - and accompany them home.
Reed came home drunk and abused them so j
badly that she dare not stay longer. Mrs.'
Thomson left for home across lots about Q
o'clock in the evening. The night was intense•
ly cold, and when about half way from her 'J
house, the little boy became so cold as to be
unable to go farther, and lay down in the snow.
The mother with her babe crouched down be
side hiin, and told the little girl to lay down
with her. The girl did so., and they all lay
there till morning. Mr. Thomson, on arriving I
home, took a lantern and went in search of his j
wife and children. The girl who survived, said
she saw a light in the night at some distance j
from them, but she dared not make a noise, for 1
feat• Reed would come to kill them. At day
light the girl was still able to walk, and wan
dered off till she was discovered ,And brought
into Judge llagadorn's house.. When able to
speak, she informed the family where and how
she had passed the night. Mrs. Thompson and
the little boy were found froien to death ; the
infant; when found, was not frozen, but dead.
Tho little girl survived, with the loss of two of
her toes on each of her feet.
11:7'QuInnt TIIOO3II SIIOCKIkG Revr.tiGlS.—We
read in the Western papers an account of a
curious affair which happened recently en the
Mississippi near St. Louis. It appears that a
young Italian became enamored of the young
daughter of a German citizen, and wished to
marry her. The father, was willing, but the
girl steadily refused; Last week the fellow
called at the house and requested to see her at
the door ; when she appeared he seized her by
the end of the nose, and with his pocketknife
cut it off close up to the bridge. The poor girl
screamed and fainted, and while the family
rushed to her assistance and tried to staunch
the blood, the ruffian took leg•bail across the
Mississippi, and has not since been heard of.
iIa•FAT STAKE:B.—The grain crop. of Illinois
fee 1855 is estimated at 180,000,000 bushels.of
Indian corn, 20,000,000 bushels of wheat, and
50,000,000 bushels of oats, barley and rye.—
This amount would be valued in the New York
market at about .two hundred and twenty mil
lion dollars. To this add the hog crop, and
Illinois mey . , certainly be called a fat State, Ohio
we believe equals, if it • doei not exceed Illinois
in this respect.

ZINC. ORE IN NEIV JERSEY.—The zinc ores of
New Jersey aro believed to be the richest in the
world, A single block of the real oxyd, weigh
ing 16,400 lbs., obtained from the Sterling Hill
mine, was exhibited at the London World's
Fair, and surprised all who saw it. The Ame
rican Zinc Manufacturing Company at Newark,
N. J., which was established a few years since,
promised to flourish ; yet we have been informed
that it has not been so successful as to compete
with the Vielle Montague Company, at whose
works the smelting is conducted with great
skill. Its success, however, is simply a ques
tion of time, where the ore is rich and abundant
and fuel plenty, as is the case in our country.

'Ca...STATISTICAL FACTS.-Within the last five
years, in this country, two million five hundred
thousand emigrants have arrived and settled--
considerable numbers having left the Atlantic
States for the fertile lands of the West—sso,-
000,000 have been paid for new lands, public
and private : $300,000,000 have been spent on
the construction of railroads; $100,000,000 have
been spent for tonnage, internal and external :
$100,000,000 of the capital has been organized

fr7OAN any one yet doubt it, when the evi
deuce all around is so plain and convincing.—
We aver that no medicine ever yet discovered
has received such general cemmendation as Dr.
L. B. Wright's " Liquid Cathartic," or Pleas
ant Vegetable Family Physic. It has become
the sole medicine of thousands, and is anxious
ly looked up to as the only source of life and
health, and inveterate enemy of all billions dis
eases, from whiCh arise such a list of fevers,
complaints and aches as would fill a column.—
If any still doubt' its virtues let them give it
one trial, and our word for it, they will do so
no longer. Seeing is believing, but feeling is
said to be truth itself ; and we trust that when
they feel relieved from all pain by this health
invigorating medicine, they will at least ho con
vinced of the entire truth of what is asserted of
it. See advertisement.
0:711olloway's Pills, the most celebrated
Remedy in the Union for the cure of diseases of
the Liver and Stomach. Edmund Alga, of
Cooperstown, New York, was for the period of
nineteen years a complete misery to himself,
and a burden to his friends, he suffered so se
verely and continuously from liver complaint,
and a disorder 6d stomach,' that he was con
stantly for weeks together confined to-his bed.
The doctors did him no good, and ho therefore
Teft off consulting them. Nine weeks ago he
commenced using Holloway's Pills, and his
wife called last weeklt the store of Professor
Holloway, to acknowledge most gratefully that
her husband is quite cured. • Professor Hollo
way hopes that the thousand others in the Union
who have been benotltted will now come for
ward.
THE 'LEIIIGH REGISTER, FEBRUARY 20, 1866.
11:7We see by the Court Records that the
two Counterfeiters, White of Buffalo, and Law
rence'of Epping, N. H., have been placed under
ten thousand dollar bonds, each, for making
and selling imitations of Ayer's Cherry Pecto
ral. This is right. If the Law should protect
men from imposition at all it 'certainly should
protect them from being imposed upon by a
worthless counterfeit of such a medicine as
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. We can only complain
that the punishment is not half enough. The
villain, who would for paltry gain, deliberately
trifle with the health of his fellow man, by
taking from their lips the cup of hope, when
they are sinking and substituting a falsehood--
an utter delusion, should be punished at least
as severely as ho who counterfeits the coin of
his country.—Green Co. Banner, Carrolton 111.
NICARAGITA.-A letter from Washington says :
—" The relations between the United States
and Central America become from day to day
more intricate. Appearances now indicate that
Walker will sustain himself, chiefly through
the divisions of his enemies. In that event the
Government hero will be compelled to recog
nize his administration.
[ --- "CATII0 LAICISM IN TM: UNITED STATES. —The
number of priests in 1785 in this country was
23, now there are•l76l ; at that time also there
were rio Archbishops or Bishop, while now there
are 7 of the former• and 35 of the latter ; from
four churches there are now 1910, besides 895
stations for worship ; also 37 Seminaries to
train up youth, 24 Colleges, and 130 Female
Academies.
Persons laboring under this distressing malady will
find Pr. 11.tscif's Epileptic Pills to be the only reme
dy ever discovered for curing Epilepsy of Falling
Fite. These Pills possess a specific action on the ner
vous system; and although prepared especially for
the purpose of curing Fits, they will be found of os
peeial benefit to all persons afflicted with weak nerves,
or whose nervous system has been prostrated or
shattered from any cause whatever. The dyspeptic
patient, whose stomach has lost the power of duly
converting food into a life sustaining element, is re
lieved by a single course of the extraordinary Pills.
The gastric fluid re-acquires its solvent power, and
the crude nutriment which was a load and in burden
to the sufferer, while his digestive organization was
paralyzed and unstrung, becomes under the whole
some revolution created in the system, the basis of
strength, activity. and henith.

This is rapidly superseding the use of all other hinds
of roolS, whersicr.it has been introduced, giving gen

who Mira tested its utility. These roofs requiee uw
inclination of nut more titan one inch to the Pout,
which is of 0,/,,,,th, g c iu c , lefe fire, and for
drying purphes. They arc uttered at a price consid
erably less than any other roof in use, while the
amount of material saved, which would other‘N ism be
used in extending up the walls and framing fir a
steep roof, often makes a still tardier importaid re
duction in the cost of buiidimg. Gutters may be
fortmal of the Sam , : material as the roof, at much less
expense than any ether. In ease of defect ur injury,
