A KKSTVCK1A5 IN AN EASY FIX.
Col. H., returning from his northern
tour, encountered on his way to Cincin
nati, a large number of Quakers, of both
sexes, returning from an anti-slavery cel
ebration at Cleveland, Ohio. As the
cars moved on, the Colonel became en
gaged in conversation with. one of the
Friends, and in its course the subject of
slavery naturally arose. The conversa
tion increased in warmth and interest,
and enlisted the attention of every one
present the Quakers asserting their utter
horror of slavery, and the Southerner
maintaining, with equal feeling, its jus
tice and humanity. Stopping, finally at
a way station, a new passenger entered
a large, fine looking mulatto woman, hold
ing a baby in her arms. Looking around
to find a seat, and observing one of the
few vacant occupied in part by Col. H.,
she proceeded to seat herself. The Col.
with characteristic courtesy, made room
for an ample display of crinoline. A
few moments had elapsed when the dark
skinned Venus turned suddenly to the
Colonel, and inquired: . .
'Mister did you see my yaller trunk
put aboard this train?" : '
'Well, really, madam', rejoined the
Kentuckian, there are so many yellow
trunks that I am unable to say whether
the one which you allude to was put
aboard or not.' ,
This did not suffice our heroine. In
a moment or two the Colonel having
declined an invitation to go out and
look up her yaller trunk she arose sud
denly, and, extending the infant African
in her arms in the direction of our friend:
'Mister will you hold this 'ere baby
while I go and see after that 'ere trunk
of mine?'
The Colonel, assuring her with
ineffable grace and dignity, that he
would be only too happy to oblige her,
proceeded to dandle in his arms the sooty
offspring of my lady. By this time mirth
pervaded every countenance, and an
effectual effort to suppress a general titter
told of the amusement the picture af
forded. Moments '"" fled the whistle
sounded but Venus did not make her
appearance. Matters seemed coming to
a crisis. :i ri -. ..:
At last one. of the' venerable broad
brims, inspired by a benevolent compre
hension of the burden the Kentuckian's
politeness seemed to entail upon him,
and, perhaps, not unwilling; to add to
the slightly malicious and excusable mer
riment of his anti-Southern associates,
crept up to the seat occupied by the subr
ject of this anecdote, and whispered in a
tone audible to all: -
'Friend, art thou not afraid she will
leave it with thee?
'Leave it with me, dear sir?' rejoined
the Colonel, turning around, so that he
could be distinctly heard by all present,
and dropping his voice to a loud whisper;
'Why that is just what I should like.
It's worth a hundred dollars iu Ken
tucky! The few Southerners present shouted
with laughter, and the discomfiture of
the disciple of brotherly love and sly
fun was highly amusing.
STATE TEMPERANCE CONVENTION.
1 By a resolution adopted by the last
State. Temperance Convention, held in
this city January 14, 1857, the under
signed were appointed a committee, with
instructions to call a State Temperance
Convention in Columbus at such times as
they should think best.
We do," therefore, in accordance with
the abeve resolution, appoint Wednesday
the 14th day of March next, at 10 o'clock
A. M., as the time for holding said Con
vention. And we would call upon the
various Orders of temperance men in
Ohio, the gre at army of W ashingtonians,
and all who desires to see the accursed
traffic In intoxicating drinks destroyed
forever among us, to meet in every vil
lage, city and township throughout the
State, on the Saturday preceding the day
for holding the Convention, for the pur
pose of appointing delegates and engag
ing in such exercises as are adapted to en
kindle anew the zeal of the friends of
temperance, and lead them to renewed
and determined effort.
The greatest exertion will be made to
have many of the most distinguished
temperance "men of our land present at
the Convention, among whom we would
name, Neal Dow, of Maine, Gen. S. F.
Carey, of Ohio, and E. C. Delevan, of
New York.
Friends of temperance and humanity;
the enemy has , been gaining upon us
fearfully the past few years, and unless
we arouse ourselves, will overwhelm us
and our children. Long, long enough
have we rested from our labors in, this
blessed reform. Awake! Go to work
again, and come up here on the four
teenth of next month in your might and
strength, and such an impetus will be
given to our cause as shall lead, under
the blessing and guidance of Heaven, to
ultimate and glorious triumphs.

The Lemon Slave Case.
This celebrated case is again brought
to public notice by its coming up for ar
gument in the New York Court of Ap
peals, where it has just been reached.
The leading facts of the case are as fol
lows: In Novemper, 1850, Jonathan Lemon,
with his wife and eight slaves came to
New York from Virginia to seek a direct
passage to Texas, where they proposed
to settle. The presence of the slaves
having been discovered, a writ of habeas
corpus was obtained from Hon. Elisha.
Paine, then a Justice of the Superior
Court, but since deceased, inquiring why
the negroes were deprived of liberty.
Upon the return of the writ, and after a
full hearing of the arguments presented
by Mr. Lemon's counsel, Judge Paine
ordered the slaves to be discharged, and
they were discharged accordingly.
Mr. Lemon at once carried the order to
the Superior Judge into the Supreme
Court, upon a writ of certiorari, where,
after a contest of years, the General Term
affirmed, the original order. The case
was, in 1857 appealed to the present ju
risdiction. , ,
The case was ably argued by Mr. O'
Connor' for plaintiff, (Lemon,) and by
Messrs. Blunt and Evarts for the defence.
The argument was closed on Wednesday
of last week, and the Court reserved its
decision. It remains to be seen whether
that decision will cnferin to the "Dred
Scott opinions whether this new step in
the advance df the Slave Power will be
taken by our Northern Courts, in opposi
tion to the almost universal practice of
siuylar tribunals even in the Slave States.

BLOOD FOOD.
Dr. "Rronson. having ben so far reduced by con
sumption, as to be considered beyond all hope of re
covery by the most eminent of the medical profes
sion, and also by himself a regular physician of
twenty years practice as a last resort, conceived
the idea of ANALYZING THE BLOOD, and apply
ing the subject of physiology to the more imui"d"i
ate connection, and effect of the state of the blood
upon the health and system. The result has ben
the production of this "BLOOD FOOD." from the
use of which Dr. Bronson was restored to perfect
health. Within six months after its introduction,
over two thousand eonaumptives were effectually
cured by It. If jou have any complaints of a con
sumptive tendency. Cough, Cold, Head-ache, Pal
pitation of the Heart, Less of Appetite or Pain in
the side, lose no time in procuring a bottle of the
"BLOOD FOOD." If yon are suffering from Ner
vous Debility, or your sleep is broken and dis
tarbed, if your spirits are depressed or your organs
relaxed, you will find in this an unfailing remedy, by
commencing with ten drops. If your Liver Is tor
pid or diseased in any manner whatever, one or two
bottles will be sure to invigorate. ai ' bring it into
lively and healthful action. In the most inveterate
cases of Dyspepsia the patient can here find the
most efficient and grateful relief. A benefit is al
waysexperienced after taking one bottle. In Male
or Female Complaints and Weaknesses, the suf
ferer, after trying other remedies in vain, mav rest
assured, that a certain cure will result from tlie use
of two or thrue bottles. The "BLOOD FOOD" is
effectual in all cases of Eruptions, Salt Rheum.
Scrofulas and ether like complaints. Palw and
emaciated children and adults are imi.1ediatily
benefited bv its use. It gives strength to the bodv.
and color and beauty to the skin. Physicians of all
schools are using it with' wonderful success.

rightly use, as per directions, will not have occasion
to contradict my statements. I am a citizen of this
city and a resident here for the last fifteen years, and
am known to nearly everyone here and adjoining
