A Hard Case,
And a Man with no Conscience. A negro
woman named Rebecca Garret, and her
sis children, were taken Irom Ualtimore,
Maryland, about 18 months since, by
rhomas Anderson, of Howard Uistrict,
ho claimed ihem as slaves. The case
was tried, and the court gave a verdict
against Anderson. He carried it lo the
Court of Appeals, which nas reversed tne
judgment of the County Court, on the
ground that the law requires tne issue oi
Ireedom to be tried where the master re
sides. The case will now be disposed oi
bv the Howard District Court, where Mr.
Anderson desired it to be tried irom tne
first. It appears that the woman had been
allowed by her mistress, ihe mother of
Mrs. Anderson, to live as a free woman
in Baltimore, where she married and resi
ded for 21 years, and where the children
she has were born lo her by a free father.
There is no doubt that her mistress inten
ded shehould be for ever free; and this
o!an of raking up such old claims against
the freedom of a whole family is heartless
in the extreme. The unfortunate Garret
family still remain in ihe custody of Mr.
Anderson, who has given a bond ol $5,
000 to produce them when required.

She is about eighteen years ofage. Her ac- j
complishments are many and varied, and :
her independent, self-reliant character is
exhibited in the fact thai she is now.or was
very recently, a teacher in one of the free
public schools in Buffalo. She is one of the

more reason to be proad than of all the gay,

An Irishman had taken lo reading his
Bible. "And indeed it is true, and a blessed
book it ia."
"But," said the ptiesi, "you are an igno
rant man, and you ought not to read ihe
Bible."
"Well," said Pat. "but your rtverence j
must prove that before I'll give up reading J
my Bible."
And so the priest turned to the place
where it reads, "As new born babes, desire
the sincere milk of ihe word."
"There," sai J the pricst,"you are a babe,
and you ought lo go lo somebody who can
tell you what the sincere milk of ihe word
is."
Pat was a milkman and he replied,
"Your riverence, I was sick and employed
a man to carry my milk, and he cheated
n F he put water in it ; and how do I
know (saving your riverence,) but the
priest may do the same?''
The priest was discomfited, and said.
Well.Pat.I see ye're not quite so much
of a babe as I thought you. You may read
your B.ble, but don't show it to your neigh
bors." "Indeed jour rivercne," says Pat, "I've
one cow that I know gives good milk ; and
while my neighbor has none, sure I'll give
him a oart of it whether your riverence
likes it or not.''

nj appeared to communicate with the
leader. This produced a movement in tfce
'roop. Command were issued, and fa-
gue parties were detailed, and marched
to the Iront. Meanwhile several ol the
comadrejns engineers, no doubt ran
nlong the bank, examining ihe trees on
both sides of the arrovo.
At length they all collected around a
tall cotton wood.that grew over the narrow.
est part of the stream, and 20 or 30 ol
them scampered up its trunk. On reach
ing a high point, the foremost a strong',
fellow ran out upon a limb, and, takiog
several turns of his tail around it, slipped
off, and hung head downwards. The next
on the limb, also a stout one.climbed down
the body of the first, and whipping" bis tail
tightly around the neck and forearm of
the latter.dropped off in his turn, and hung
head down. The third repeated this man
oeuvre upon the second, and the fourth
upon the third, and so on, until the las', one
upon the string rested his forepaws upon

ermost monkey striking his hands violently
on the tarth as he passed the tangent of
the oscillating curve. Several others up- .
on the limbs above aided the movement .
This continued until the moukey at ihe
end of the chatu was thrown among the
branches of a tree on the opposite bank.
Hure, after two or three vibrations, h .
clutched a limb, and held fast. This
movement was executed adroitly, just at
the culminating poiut of the oscillation, irfi
order to save the intermediate links from
the violence of a too sudden jerk !
The chain was now fast both ends, form-
ing a complete suspension bridge, oVer
which the whole troop, to the number of
four or five hundred passed with the rapid

It was one of the most comical sights I

Here, then, was a ploMeoi, and we wai-
