sai ek CELEBRATION ON THE FIRST OF AUGUST. Avery large gathering will assemble -in Sandwich on that joyful day, to cele- brate the abolition of human slavery un- der the British Government, which was accomplished by an act of parliament, in -1834, and which destroyed the last ves- tige of chattel slavery in the West India' Islands. The annual meeting of the' Fugitives Union Society," will also meet at the same time and place, and hold their an- niversary, according to a resolution pass- ed by the society, last fall in Sandwich, at the Convention. We suggest that the celebration be at- tended to in the forenoon, and the annual meeting ofthe society be in the after- noon, so that they may not conflict, one with the other, as there will be business of vital importance to our elevation laid before the public on that occasion. In- teresting speakers will be engaged to ad- dress the meeting. COLORED JURYMEN IN CANADA. It has been but a short time since a colored gentleman was put on the Grand Jury in Toronto, C. W., which appears to have been very offensive to some of the "blue skin" yankees there, who complained and curled up their noses at it. But the following paragraph from the pen of John T. Fisher, which we clip from the Patriot, will show that this out- burst of ignorance and yankee prejudice found no favor with the Judge, Sheriff, &c., who look deeper than the color of the skin for honest, intelligent men to sit as jurors. _ Mr. E, Larwill, the disappointed pro- slavery aspirant, has again dipped his pen into the gall to kindle up the fire of pre- judice against color. Butit isa palpable failure, and this poor deluded man is po- litically dead, and_should not be spoken of. "Tn reply to Mr. Larwill's observa- 'tions upon the address of the jurors, I will only add, that [am happy to say to ithe gentleman, that the colored man in question has been appointed foreman of the jury three times in one day; that is, on three different cases. ~ Thus the com- plainers saw that their complaint origina- ted in prejudice and ignorance, which is the same case with Mr. Larwill. How revolting is it, to find any man, inthe middle of the nineteenth century, under the blazing sunshine of civiliza- tion and christianity, and in a land of bi- bles, engaged in propagating such doc- trines ? For the Voice of the Fugitive. THE NEW COSTUME. Mr. Eprror :--The subject of the new costume, ala turk, seems to engage the attention of the Press not: a little, who are with a few exceptions in favor of the new mode. Your neighbor of the Detroit Free Press seems to think those who oppose it, are troubled with ugly wives, and asks 'how a tall, lank, lean, vain, prying, mischievous and uncharita- ble woman could be improved?" , It's a hard case where so many bad qualities are combined. Now I am inclined to think that not a few of those in favor of the said new cos- tume, have ugly wives, and wives too, who ao: to its introduction, and their favor of it comes from opposition's sake. You know it's natural to be con- trary. But what are the serious objections to this new costume. The only one we have heard, is that it shocks the modest feelings, "'To the pure all things are pure," and I doubt much, whether the better half of creation should die for mo- desty's sake--false modesty--I mean.-- Fashion is all powerful, and has killed the world long enough with it's tightness, and now that looseness is getting to be the order of the day, is it not better to follow the fashion, and get a little chance to breathe once more freely--even fash- ionably, Anatomists and Physiologists know the evil of which tight waists and tight and heavy skirts are productive and they in obedience to their knowledge of the human system and its wants, hail the new costume, as the harbinger of healthie- and happier days. I noticed that Mrs. Mary Gove Nichols, a re Physician, and lecturer on Anatomy and Physiology, of much repute in New- York City, has invited the ladies of that city favorable to the new costume, to meet at Hope Chapel, to discuss the ques- tion of its immediate adoption on the score of health, comfort and usefulness, Mrs. N. is well aware that a large por- tion of those diseases peculiar to families, are the result of tight dressing, especial- ly that part which calls upon the most yielding portions of the system to with- stand the weight and compression of from three to eight and even ten skirts. This fashion in time will come in into use, after a few improvements, some of which I will venture to suggest. Let the pantaloons be loose and supported by the shoulders ; a waist or vest to be worn, reaching quite low, which should also be on the free and loose principle. Cover the whole with a ladies' sack, loose and flowing in its fit, and open in front, that it may be easily thrown off, as cireum- stances may require, then surmount the whole with a beautiful straw hat with broad brim, and flowing ribbons, and then the female portion of creation will be at- tired in a habit more conducive to health, sprightliness and animation of feeling. Yours &c, N. GREAT TEMPERANCE REFORMA- TION. We are indebted to the " Essex Advo- cate" for the following article : Rey. Farner Curievy has recently visited this section of Canada West as an Apostle of 'Temperance, and his labors have been crowned with wonderful and splendid success, equalling, at least, if not surpassing even those of the celebra- ted philanthropist, Farner Maturw. During his brief sojourn in this quar- ter, he has received here in Sandwich, 1,634, and in Malden 1,100 signatures to this pledge :--" For the love of Jesus Christ, and with the Grace of God, I promise to abstain from all intoxicating drinks, except only as a medicine. And I moreover pledge myself, by my advice and example, to induce my parents and friends to do the same." Father Chiniquy lectures and address- es his nnmerous hearers in French--of whom not less than 5,000 were in attend- ance here on Sunday last as we are in- formed--and his appeal to their reason, their conscience, and their own best and most valued interests, both social and spiritual, must have been surpassingly eloquent, persuasive and convincing. He distributes among his converts a manual ofthe Temperance Society, dedi- cated to the youth of Canada, which is recommended as a very useful and meri- torious work; and for a copy of which we tender him our thanks. MORE SLAVE CATCHING. We learn the following from the De- troit Tribune. Philadelphia June 28th. Fuertive Arremprine to MurpEr,-- Great excitement at Wilkesbarre yester- terday, growing out of the arrest of a fu- gitive slave, who drew a razor and cut several of his captors. No deaths. Wilkesbarre, Penn., June 27. Considerable excitement about a fugi- tive slave, Harvey, the person who em- ployed the slave, shut his doors and for- bid the entrance of the officers to capture him, at the peril of their lives. The own- ers of the slave have sued Harvey for har- boring and secreting him. Numeer or Staves ownep By Curis- TIANS.--President Blanchard, of Knox College, Ill., estimates, from calculations based upon the United States Census, and the statistics of religious bodies that the Methodists in the United States own 219,563 slaves ; Presbyterians (Old and New School,) 77,000'; Baptists, 125,000; Campbellites, 101,000 ; Episcopalians, 88,000; other Protestants, 50,000 ; ma- king a sum total of 660,553 slaves owned by ministers and members of Protestant churches in the United States. At $400 (a low estimate) for each slave, this makes a property fund vested in human bodies and souls of $264,221,200, owned by the Protestant churches. Derrorr AND HER Ram, Roaps.--De- troit will soon have five rail ways radia- ting from her. The Central from Chi- cago, the Pontiac to be continued to Lake Michigan, the Canada road, the Port Huron road, and a charter will be asked for one from this city to Monroe, to intersect the Southern Michigan and the South shore road around Lake Erie. Our citizens should encourage all of them. They are all needed--all will pay, and when finished, no city in the Union wil be in a better position to advance to greatness in wealth and population.-- De- troit Tribune. ie" Ice is produzed by steam at the London Ehxibition. The apparatus is ca- pable of freezing more than one hundred quarts of desert ices (six different sorts are produced in one machine) every quar- ter of an hour, of a perfectly smooth qual- ity. Cylinders of solid ice are also pro- duced ,capaple of holding decanters of wa- ter, and many bottles of wine. Prorueric Muskrars.--The Burling- ton (Lowa) Hawkeye says it is reported that the muskrats in the Mississippi bot- tom, in anticipation of the late flood, con- structed their houses several feet higher than usual. 'Their mounds are an aston- ishment to all who behold ihem 0<-A bill authorizing the construction of a Suspension Bridge over the Niagara River, has been unanimously reported in the Canadian Pariiament, and no opposi- tion manifested towards it. No doubt is entertained of its passage through that body at an early day. INFERNAL MACHINE. The box which exploded on Sunday in the depot of the Central Rail Road Company, was, we understand, found upon the dock by the watchman late on Saturday night, and was by him placed in the depot for safe keeping. 'There is no evidence, or even probability, that it was brought up by the Mayflower or any other steamer. It was left on the dock some time Saturday night, for what pur- pose seems a mystery. 'The facts deve- loped would seem to rebut any presump- tion of intention to fire any part of the premises. It was placed outside the buil- ding--then, the noise it made in the ex- plosion, was sufficient to alarm the neigh- bordood--and, in the third place, the contents of the box were valuable, and not (aside from a small amount of che- micals), any more inflamable or combus- tible than the ordinary contents of a tra- veling box, These things would seem to destroy any probability of an intention to burn or destroy property. There were, we understand, chemicals inside of the box, and it may bave been that in moving it about and placing it inside the depot, a spontaneous combustion took place.--Del. Daily Free Press.
