j the public at a time when all civilized . humanity were hesitating between their , prejudices and their established im>drs i of thought and the growing conviction j felt in their innermost heart that ; slavery was all wrong. One result was j the testimony of many colored persons and fugirive slave* who «;nd b> Mrs friends everywhere." “It s wonderful how kind everybody is ” In England many demonstrations wore tn«W‘‘by anti -htvery soviet d and many addresses were presented the author, and even when the civil war i was initiated the workingmen of Eng- ; land did not lend themselves to any j crush the oppressed in America, al 1 though this war brought hardship to j, their very door.

to enlist the war like power of England ; against the Northern States.

A BURGLAR ON THE ROOF. e Some sneak thief was prowling around Mrs. Vincent’s residence last Wednesday evening. About 10 o’clock Mrs. Vincent, l> the children and hired girl, Miss Ida 1 Wenner, were in the sitting room when they heard a noise on the tin roof above t them. Listening attentively they t thought the noise sounded like a ]s»r son’s footsteps. Mrs. Vincent locked the house while Miss Wenner slipped over to their next door neighbor's, H. Granger, to awaken him. Mr. Granger then slipped out of the house and went over and awakened Charlie Bose and William Jarrell. In the meantime Mrs. Vincent had become alarmed at Miss Wenner’s long absence, and thought there might be two of the men aliout the house and that one of them might be standing on guard and had sandbagged I or gagged her. She went to the back door and called, and Miss Wenner who was standing on Mr. Granger's porch watching the man on the roof, answered. The man heard her, and he immediately whirled around and ran down the lad der and fn running towards the street he almost ran against Mi w Wenner who had started for the house. The man dinppvarvd up the street running north towards the schoil building. He had just barely got away when Messrs. Granger, Jarrell and Bose ar rived on the scene. The thief was pre paring to enter the main part of the house through a window from the kitchen roof. He had torn away the screen from the window. It is evident that the fellow intended to secrete him self upstairs and in the night when all was quiet ransack the house. Mise Wenner, who got a very imperfect I glimpse of the man, says ho appeared to be a small slender man and was dressed in dark clothes Take advantage of the Independent's ! premium offers.
