is previous
master was his own father (John Quantence), who had always acknowledged
Pascal as his child, whom he did not scruple to tell people he should
set free; that he did not intend that he should serve anybody else. But,
while out riding one day, he was thrown from his horse and instantly
killed. Naturally enough, no will being found, his effects were all
administered upon and Pascal was sold with the farm. Bannon and Brady
were the purchasers, at least of Pascal. In their power, immediately the
time of trouble began with Pascal, and so continued until he could no
longer endure it. "Hoggishness," according to Pascal's phraseology, was
the most predominant trait in the character of his new masters. In his
mournful situation and grief he looked toward Canada and started with
courage and hope, and thus succeeded. Such deliverances always afforded
very great joy to the Committee.

ARRIVAL FROM NORTH CAROLINA, 1857.

HARRY GRIMES, GEORGE UPSHER, AND EDWARD LEWIS.

FEET SLIT FOR RUNNING AWAY, FLOGGED, STABBED, STAYED IN THE HOLLOW OF A
BIG POPLAR TREE, VISITED BY A SNAKE, ABODE IN A CAVE. The coming of the
passengers here noticed was announced in the subjoined letter from
Thomas Garrett:

WILMINGTON, 11th Mo. 25th, 1857.

RESPECTED FRIEND, WILLIAM STILL:--I write to inform thee, that
Captain Fountain has arrived this evening from the South with
three men, one of which is nearly naked, and very lousy. He has
been in the swamps of Carolina for eighteen months past. One of
the others has been some time out. I would send them on
to-night, but will have to provide two of them with some clothes
before they can be sent by rail road. I have forgotten the
number of thy house. As most likely all are more or less lousy,
having been compelled to sleep together, I thought best to write
thee so that thee may get a suitable place to take them to, and
meet them at Broad and Prime streets on the arrival of the cars,
about 11 o'clock to-morrow evening. I have engaged one of our
men to take them to his house, and go to Philadelphia with them
to-morrow evening. Johnson who will accompany them is a man in
whom we can confide. Please send me the number of thy house when
thee writes.

THOMAS GARRETT.
