inn areoratiar meta etre ye remember, it has not been quite two years since Mr. Tuckett left Canada, and went to the States. pee Tam sorry to have to inform you, also, that a melancholy occurrence transpired near this place, on the afternoon of the 23rd inst., the particulars of which seem to be as fol- lows:--A man by the name of John Wood, occupying a house near the Railroad, about two miles from this place, had gone to his work, and left his wife and two children at home. In the course of the afternoon, Mrs. Wood having 6ccasion to go to Lefroy, left the children at the house, and was absent a few hours, during which her husband return- ed from his work, and found the children amusing themselves at the door. Having concluded to take a walk across the lot (100 acres,) and look at a piece of work there, which he has on hand, he locked the two children (one over four, and the other over six years of age) in the house, to pre- vent their going too near the Railway in his absence ; before he got back, however, the house took fire, and although he arrived in time to save the lives of his children, by expos- ing his own to danger, he either could not find them or could not get at them without be- ing absolutely burned to death in the at- tempt. The house was burned to the ground, notwithstanding the strenuous efforts made to save it; and it was afterwards found that the children had crept under the bed, which had fallen upon them, and protected that part of them from the flames, which lay next the floor. The poor little creatures perished, locked in each others embrace, which could be seen from what remained of them. A feeling of mtense pity pervades our little community, and the.mental condition of the parents and relatives may be far better magined than described. The religious people of this region seem to be quite active in their proceedings; num- bers have arrived here within the last few days, for the purpose of attending a Camp- meeting in this vicinity. Yours, truly, Z. H. M. To the Editress of the Provincial Freeman : Dzar Mapsm,--I stated to you some time since, that after making a tour of observation through the Northern and Western States, I should then make a similar one through the Provinces; and in the mean time would re- exhibit the bleeding back of " Uncle Tom," &c. ; and, in addition, add what. I might deem best to promote our common cause. ring expeditions in this vicinity, preparatory to the ultimate undertaking. I find that by a little observation and attention, that volumes of useful information relative to our people, their pursuits, inclinations, circumstances, condition and progress, may be readily ob- | tained. The most that will be required will be to collect it, and arrange it in such a way as to make it useful to the public in general, | and the travelling portion in particular, 1 propose todo this, as well as I can, and transmit the same, from time to time, for the columns of the Freeman, i.e., should you deem it worthy. I shall endeavour to extend my observations, first to Society, in general ; secondly, Churches, Schools, &c., and Busi- ness pursuits, in which the colored people are now, or may engage in; and, thirdly, a brief notice of the principle Colored Men and Women in public or private life, &c., &c., under the following heading :--'InciDENTS, INTERVIEWS, AND OBSERVATIONS." By a Colored Tourist. To be numbered in regu- lar succession. : What I have already met with, seen, and heard, affords ample material for several arti- cles, for which I have taken notes, until a more convenient season. My first observa- tion is, that we need 'more public men and women more devoted and better informed; that is what has struck me most forcibly, as 'yet. I think now that I will be in Canada in August; but I will be more definite in future. ; Yours, &e, ae Jeo N.S. Newburgh, 15th June, 1855. To the Editress of the Provincial Freeman : My Dear Manam,--I have been a constant reader of the Freeman, ever since its existence, but shall not say anything about its value, neees- sity, &c., they being qualities which, I opine, are at the present inseparable from it, and without which it could not possibly live through these dull times; neither is it to say much about the | times, state of the crops, and such matters of | every day observation, that I have presumed to | aspire toa place in your columns, but for the } purpose of congratulating you on the re-appear- ance in your columns of such an extensive cor- respondence. In the few first months of the ex- istence of your Journal, your correspondents were quite numerous: ' Benjamin, of Chat-| ham," " Henrietta S--.," and a " Dolly Bangs," I recollect distinctly, as among those who fur- nished wit and humour, which was much appre- ciated, in connection with the more sober articles: In a short time, however, the zeal of the writers began to wane. " Cannuck," the " eloquent," ceased to appear. "Henrietta" and " Dolly," I believe, appeared but once ;'and ' Benjamin," the inimitable Benjamin, certainly must have lost his pen. I must, Madam Editor, really come to that conclusion, for it is not surely in the nature of that gentleman to remain silent, while pens, ink and paper are in his reach, and matters of such interest transpiring around him. I was much pleased with the article from " 7. H. M.," which appeared June 9th, "7, H. M." is quite an enterprising gentleman, one in whom poetry and business tact are combined-- by-the-way, he is a poet, of that fact I have had an occular demonstration ; but I need not tell you that, for his description of Lefroy, where 'the ear" 'is held in sweet suspension" by the * wild sonesters,"' tells us much. Then there is " X. Y. Z.," of course there is no use of asking who he is, for it seems he does 'not want us to know; but he, to my mind, is a 'trne blue ;" just the one for the times, precisely. Ab! 1 feel like having a hearty shake of his hand just at" this present." Z-would walk all the way from our village to Chatham--supposing there was no railroad--just to get a glimpse of his phiz. 'Indeed, there a real brotherly affection already, Since | that time, I have been on several reconnoit- | He is so well encased in the armour of truth, that all the thunder of the opposites, affects him not abit. He does not get angry, not he; those who are in the right, seldom do; and the way he did rap the knuckles of Fairfield, and his adhe- rents, just nipping them in the right spot, and then hopping off, while they kick up a "tempest," re- minds me of the little insect that takes such long leaps; you know his right name, propably. I know not what entomologists call him, but we old fashioned people down here, between the Lakes, say flea. Then, I perceive, that you have a regular, in- stead of an occasional, Philadelphia Correspon- dence. " W.S.'s" articles always contain matter of much interest, to myself, at least; however, I must say that in his last, he seems to be possessed of the spirit which, has been said, actuates a colored lady in --, but you remember the old copy book warning: " Evil communications," &c. After all, [think he is right. Ihave been not a lit- tle surprised that'ho one had given "J. N.S." a lecturing" about his course, ere this; for I had understood, from good authority, that he advocated measures in a Rochester paper which he strongly opposed in the Freeman. Still, I hope the gentle- man will exonerate himself from any charges of inconsistency. = I, and no doubt others, who, like myself, are unfortunately possessed of a large share of curi- osity, will thank * W.S." for the last disclosure he has made; namely, as towho "S." is. J had been told that S. was a gentleman by the name of Smith, who resided in your-city ; but now it comes out that it is a lady; and as "' W.S." was so ac- commodating as to point to the very number of the paper where the name could be found, I lost no time in hunting it up. With 'W. S.," I hope that 'S." will not find her new field of operations encumbered with duties so onerous, that she can- not find time to give us some thoughts on matters and things occasionally, and so make dim the bright idea that crossed the gentleman's brain, which implied that it was only " shining pros- pects" in view which nerved her pen, an idea which I must make so free as to say I cannot for a moment entertain, as it is so contrary to the effect which prospects of the kind are generally said to have upon young ladies. If able to write at all,sin such cases, itis generally something re- lative to Matrimony, Woman's Rights, Baby Shows, or Love Stories, and other kindred topics very different from those npon which 'S." de- lighted to dwell. Intending, should this meet with your approbation, to present myself to your notice again, ere long, Iam, &c., A Specrarer. Villa Nova, June 19, 1855. | i "Arrest of Fugitive Slaves: On Saturday, the 9th inst., Charles H' Shields, Esq., Recorder of the City, was informed by one of our merchants, that a drayman named Sales, had applied to the Captain of a Northern vessel bound, to a Northern port, to obtain passage for a fugi- tive slave. 'The captain, under the direc- tion of Mr. Shields, agreed to the proposi- tion of Sales, and appointed 11 o'clock that night as the time for them to come aboard. Further arrangements were made for the capture, and at the appointed time a suffi- cient constabulary force was in readiness, who proceeded to the vessel, which was lying in the stream, arriving a few moments after the fugitives had gotten well aboard. | There they found no less than six negroes, five men and one woman, dressed in male attire, who were immediately hand-cuffed and lodged in jail. The party then pro- ceeded to the residence of Sales, and placed him in company with those whom he had altempted to get off, Their case is now undergoing inves iza- tion, and it is hoped that some information will be obtained which will be instrumental in preventing any future attempt at escape on the part of our slaves. The captured fugitives were owned severally by Mr. W. C. Shields, Mr. Eber Shaw, Mr. Guyot, two belonging to Capt. Gilbert's estate, and one owned in the coun- try. he captain of the vessel, through whose instrumentality our citizens were saved from a loss of several thousand dol- Jars, is entitled to the thanks of the commu- nity, which we think ought to be expressed in some tangible and valuable form.--Vor- folk Herald, 12th inst. Another Stampede. Another party of negroes, some 15 in num- ber disappeared from} Norfolk, on Sunday morning last, and as soon as the fact be- came known, efforts were made to charter a steamer togo in pursuit of the Northern vessel. No steamer could be obtained, how- ever, SO, as soon as possible, some half dozen citizens, well armed and equipped, proceeded to Hampton, where the Pilot boat Reindeer, celebrated for speed, was chartered for the pursuit. 'The Argus says: A. very determined and persevering effort will be made to overtake and bring back the slaves, and those who have carried them off The chase and search will be vigorously kept up for two or three weeks, if necessary, along the coast, as far north at least as New Bedford. A suitable number of muskets, revolvers, &c., as well as a good supply of provisions, were taken by the pursuing party. If the coaster, with the slaves on board, should be found, and _ resistance shoud be made, there may be some hot work. Last week two other slaves escaped, one of whom belonged to Mr. Seth March, who has gone to the North, determined if possi- ble, to secure him and bring him back.-- Riehmond Whig, June 20, 1855. Unper Grounp Rait Roap.--Again we notice that this line is in operation, and we are led to believe that it has legions of officers from Massachusetts at every station.

A@ A set of Missouri scoundrels came into Kansas City, and threatened the lives of several citizens. One innocent young man was clubbed over the shoulders, because he would not deny that he was an abolitionist. The landlord of the American Hotel was an object of attack, but he frightened away the ctowd very easily by the use of a bowie knife. The citizens of the place were finally so outraged, that they arrested the villains, and they were to have a trial. oe ba Lyxcu Law in Dona Ana Countr-~Four Men Hune.--We learn by a letter from the United States Marshal, that towards the last of March four men were hung in Dona (Utah) by a party of citizens forrobbery. The facte, Las far as we have been able to gather them, are as follows: Mr. Louis Greek, who lives in the town of Dona Ana, has a store in the Mesilla which was robbed, and that the rob- bers abused his wife. Four Mexicans were arrested on suspicion and confined in the Coun- ty jail to answer at the term of the United States District Court then about to be held. The same night they were confined, however, they were taken from the jail by a party of men and hung upon a neighboring tree, where they were found the next morning. Such are substantially the facts of the case. Aa A strange story, is current, and generally believed at Athens (Greece,) which may be recommended to the attention of the Anti-Slavery Society. It is confident- ly affirmed that a consular agent, who has since been appointed to a European station, bought some time back, an Arab boy in Egypt for 500 francs. He subsequently made a present of the boy to a lady of high station and influence--so high that it is con- sidered inexpedient to name her--who has now got him. This story, in connection with the recent abduction of a Turkish girl by the authorities of Eubeea, who refuse to give her up, though ordered to do so by their government ( at the request of the British Legation,) has caused a strong and painful excitement among the foreigners resident in Athens.

Each person sending $300 before the 5th of July, will, in addition to commissions, be Presented with a Gold Watch, valued at $50. The person who shall send, before the 5th of July, the largest amount above $500, will, in ad- dition to commissions, be Presented with a Piano, valued at $200. I have been induced to make the above liberal offers in order to remove a Settled objection in the minds of your committee, to having the distribu- tion take place while there remain in my hands tickets unsold, and for which cause they seem fit to defer the partition of the gifts, which was fixed for the 27th inst., to the 5th of July, as will be seen by reference to their proceedings, published below. I assure you that the postponement is as vexatious to me as it is to those who have pur- chased tickets. I therefore hope that each and every one now interested, will co-operate with me in the effort to dispose of the few thousand tickets remaining unsold, and thus: advance the interests of the whole body of shareholders. Respectfully yours "J, PERHAM. * TO THE PATRONS OF Perham's Third Gift Enterprise. At a meeting of the Committee of Shareholders of Perham's Gift Enterprise, held atthe Academy Hall, Broadway, on Wednesday Evening, April 18th, 1855, the following preamble and resolutions were adopted and ordered to be printed :-- Whereas, in view of the fact that several enter- prises have been started and carried on with a seeming positive purpose of defrauding those who could be persuaded to purchase tickets therein ; and such fraudulent proceedings have exerted an injurious influence in the gale of tickets in the enterprise of Mr, Perham; and whereas, it is deerned essential that all the tickets should be eee of before the distribution takes place, be it therefore Resolved, That in order to allow time for that purpose, the distribution be postponed until the Sth of July, at such place as may hereafter be determined on. Resolved, That the committee have undimin- ished confidence in the integrity of Mr. Perham, and in his disposition to conform to all his pub- lished promises to his patrons. ROBT.

PERHAM'S GIFT ENTERPRISE. The committee appointed by the Shareholders in this affair, to distribute the 100,000 Gifts amongst the ticket holders, have deferred the dis- tribution until the 5th of July, on account of there refaining unsold some few thousands of tickets. Mr. Perham, ever anxious to meet the views of his patrons, offers extraordinary inducements to Agents toengagein the sale of the remaining tickets, so that there may be no mere delays, which are unquestionably as vexatiovs tohim as to those who have purchased tickets in his en- terprise.

HE Undersigned proposes exhibiting the Diorama of Uncle Tom's Cabin, in the principal Cities, Towns, and Villages in | the Northern States and Canada: and to accom- pany them with abundant evidence as to the truth. fulness of the facts assumed by the author, in the work known by that name, which will include the recital of some most mysterious and thrilling incidents in the history ef his own family. The flight of his parents for freedom--their capttire, and return to slavery and their second flight; a history of their lost boys, who were stolen and sold into slavery--the death of one of them, and the redemption of the other by the purchae of himself ; and the final purchase for the enormous sum of five thousand dollars. The paintings, comprising the scenes of " Un- cle Tom's Cabin," are the production of an emi- nent French artist, and show.as large as life, and represent the most prominent scenes and charac- ters in the work. in order to render our labors more effectual and create more general interest and benefit, we propose the following arrangements, viz:--To give one half of the receipts to any Church or Society, or regularly appointed committee by the puplic, who will provide a place, secure an audience, and defray the expenses incident to the meeting. An arrangement by which every Church or Society in the country may replenish their funds, aid their pastors, or whatever other benevolent object that commends itself to public patro- nage, Let such then who would help the cause, help themselves, and help us in our feeble endeavours to enlist the public ear to the cries of bleeding humanity ; go at once to work, communicate im- mediately with us preparatory to an exhibition. We shall not however confine ourselves to that deplorable and humiliating aspect of the co- lored man's case, repesented in that work. But we promise at no distant date, a new pro- gramme of very different scenes, representing not only an entirely original, but a far more hopeful aspect of the black man, than has ever been pre- sented to the American public. It is neither egotism, nor yet flattery, in us to say that this mode of giving instruction pos- sesses the double merit of engaging those two most important faculties tnat man possesses-- the mind and the sight at the same time, and making an ineflacable impression, Itis not as being necessarily dependent and degraded, then that, we shall confine our exhibitions of his character. There have been places where, and times when the black man of modern times has' proven him- self the patriot, the statesman, and the warrior. As such, then, let him be known to the world, that it may acknowledge it, and to our youth, that they may iuettate their example and copy their virtues.. , We suffer more perhaps, from false represen- tation, than all other ills put together. Those amongst us who have acted the part of patriot are represented to be vicious and ungov- ernable: and those whom the most direful and crushing prejudices have debarred from the op- portunities for higher development are represent- ed as submissive willing underlings. Generation after generation are stamped with the same false impressions, and learn to assume it on the one hand, and regard it as a fixed inevitable fact on the other. We are arranging-a new and a very extensive programme of Distinguished Colored Men and the incidents with which they have been connect- ed and acquitted themselves honorably--such as Articus, "the first martyr of the Revolution," the "Colored Regiments at the Battle of New Orleans," and the distinguished and most promi- nent " black leaders" who freed the first spot dis- covered by Columbus, that was first desecrated to slavery--Hispanola--now Hayti. I have endeavored to make the arrangements sufficiently liberal to meet the patronage and-en- gage the attention of all who have an interest in our common cause.
