Newmarkct D BLOUGE Richmond Hill and Vicinity Our Colored Fulani-Traveller. In Lhe last number of THE LIBERAL we. had the recollections of II colored person born in a free State. In this a sketch will be given of one whose birth occurred in a slave State, whose ex- perience may remind some of our readers of incidents in Mrs. Swwe’s “ Uncle Tom’s Cabin." American Negro slavery happily no longer exists, but the records of its “inhumanity to man " will ache down the ages t9 the 9nd of time. A number of years ago the writer on a visit, to a relative in one of mu- nortyheI-n townships, went by stage from the township of Osprey tothe town of Collingwood. It was on a beautiful summer day. The road was splendid, and the stage, an 0 en con- veyancg. was well filled wit,‘ passe]:- gers. Among us was a. Welld‘ressed, intellectual looking. white headed. colored man of pleasing manners, who entertained the company by his sage and oftentimes witty remarks. To relieve the tedinm of the journey one of the passengers suggested that he gfve us his his history. towhich he assented. On my arrival home I transmitted the narrative from mem- ory to manuscript. Recently with other old papers I was about to (Xm- sigu it to the flames, but on second thought spared if for a little longer lease of life. It may help to fill a leisure moment. My only apology for offering it to THE LIBERAL is that of the amateur author, “It has not hitherto appeared in print.” The story will be given in our fellow passengers’ own words. An autobiog. raphy in fonr chapter‘s. n. . p‘v 51" was born ii the State of Ver- mont. I did not know my Parents. My earliest recollections are m u fam- ily of the name of Page, who took care of me and treated me kindly. My gum-diam was a rigid Presbyterian and 1"! , r Os“.___.r,, was, I believe, a good man. When I could not go to church. Mr. Paige’s mother Would take me into her room and teach me by word of mouth many things that are in the Bible, such as, who was the first mun, who ‘wzis the oldest man. and who \ 'as the wisest man, giving me at the same time much good advice. A gentleman who lived near by :IISU’tuok much notice of me, and often invited me to his home, but the young ladies, his daughters, would not suffer me to come near the house, because I was not as White as they were. "A man of the, name of Gould, of York State, used to come occasionally on a visit to the Page family, and as it; was my duty to wait on visitors, I was frequently with him, and little chats often took place heLWeen us. Gould frequently asked me if I would like to live with him. At first I refused, but by continued kindness and gifts of candies, oranges, etc., I began to listen to him, and finall consented to go. \Vhen we arrived a his place I found that it was a. hotel. He used me very kindly for several days. Being of a. good natured disposition, I generally contrived to please those on Whom I waited, and grew rather fond of the landlord. One day, soon after I began to feel at home in my new quarters my old master came‘ on a vidib to Goulds. He was not long there before I became the subject of their conversa- tion. Gould asked Page if he would turn me over to him. Page said that he would do nothing without my con- sent. I was called in and on consider- able coaxin on the part of Gould I was induce to agree to it. The writ~ ings were drawn up and signed. In other words, I was sold. ‘.‘ From that day to me Gould was an entirely different man. He. did not abuse me. but I had to put up- with much hardships from my master’s family. He set the exam le of ill- treatment and they followe it. This however did not last the whole time that I was at the hotel. Acircum- stance arose which lessened the rigor with which I was treated to some ex- tent. Gould had several children, some very youn and one grown up to manhood. He ad also an adopted son called Lyman Holly who turned out a wild reckless young fellow. Sometime before I went to live at the hotel Lyman had become connected with a company of smugglers who car- ried on unlawful operations between the States and Canada a. short time be- fore the war of 1812. The authorities of the American government had de- termined to put a stop to the business. A part of the smugglers were dis- covere and hotly pursued. Among them was Lyman Holly. A toll-gate keeper seeing a number of men on horseback approaching rapidly and suspecting them to be outlaws in re- treat shut the gate. The smugglers came on with a dash breaking open the gate. In the melee the gate keepâ€" er wus shot and with his dying breath uttered the name of Lyman Holly. The murderer meantime escaped. De- tectives were sent in all directions but the search was unsuccessful. (TO BE COXTINUED.) “'M. HARRISON. For a number of years past until this your Dominion Day had been re- markably quiet in Richmond Hill. There being no celebration here of any kind the citizens were free to visit neighboring towns and Villa es and n where tht-ir inclinations le them. ‘his year. howevvr, the lacrosse team were fol-cod to play a scheduled match for the York District championship with the stars of St. Catharines on Dominion Day, and therefore many of our villages spent the day at home. The sports opened with a. football match between The Langstafl’ Rangers and the home team. As the game was late in starting only half time was played, the Hill team winning hy2 guills to 0. ' U The lacrusse match which followed was one of the best ever witnessed here, and that is saying a great deal, as some of the finest teams in the pmviuce have crossed sticks with the home men. The teams lined up as follows: St. Cutlmriuesâ€"Goal, W. Watson; Hint, H. McNulty; cover point. W. Elm-ding; defence field, W. Harris, F. Timmons, H. liculestone; centre, J. lameron ; home field. F. Bowman, F. Dixon, Ur. Lowe; outside home, Grv Devlin ; inside home, T. Crosby; field captain, J. Gates; umpire, A. Eccle- slnneA; Linne-keepe_r', A. Ecclestone. Richmond H1114Goa1, F. Sims -, point. J. Glass; cover point, W. Glass ; defgncge field, F. Ggaiggei', G._Sin}s, A. G. Beck; centre. J. McKenzie; home field, W. Trench, H. McKenzie, A. Glass; uutsidchmne, J. Glover; inside home, \V. Clifford; field captain, W. E. \Vilvy; umpire. M. Benson; time- keeper, \V. Suyfuge. Mr. Baker of Tux-onto, refereed the match, and although he did not, pre- tend to notice every call, he used good judgment, and when he blew the whistle the men knew he meant play to‘gtzpp. \Vhen the Stars came on the field, neatly (liessed in green shirts and white pants, it was plainly seen they were much heavier than their op- ponents. They are. a strong lot of young men, built just like lacrosse players should he, and when the game sturteclib was atom-e seen that they did not deceive their looks. Our re- porter riot, knowing their names cam- uot- speak of individual play, suffice it to say they haul no weak spots. they were good runners, and good catchers, and their combination play was al- most perfect. The home team did nohly. and their stock went up several notches during the progress of the match. F. Sims, J. Glass, W. Glass and F. Grainger madeastrong defence. and kept on duty all the time. G. Sims and A. G. Beck trumped over every foot cf their territory time and again, and finding their confines too small, occasionally ventured beyond their limits, Lhe latter transgressing so far on one oc- casion as to shoot the rubber through the St. Kits” goal. The McKenzie brothers held their well-earned repu- tation for good play, Will Trench bagged every ball that came within a reaSimable distance from him, and W. Clifford never disappointed his many admirers. Billy is a sure shot. and his opponents always realize danger as soon as the ball touches his stick. Albert Glass got a severe blow from an opponent’s stick, but pluckin ‘ kept to his big check to the end of the 1 match. Dominion Day at Home. The visitors scored the let and 3rd games, the home players the 2nd and 4th. and the sides were even. The Hill took the 5th, St. Catharines the 6th, and then they were even again. The home team captured the 7th and 8th, The Stars the 9th and 10th, and again honors were even. After some very fast play on both sides. Glover scored in a. neat shot, making one up for Richmond Hill, and leaving three minutes to play. The halunce of the time was spent in passing the sphere up and down the slope in quick order. The visitors Were bound to even up, but the home boys seemed equally anxious to leave well enough alone. When the whistle blew toqnit, the opposing sides gave the usual friendly cheers, and retired. ‘each player doubtless feeling that he knew his opponent much better than 1when the match started two hours 1 before. As the time draws near when. in the order of Providence, and by the turn- ing of the itinerant wheel, we are_ to separate, we feel bound to take the oppoxtunity of expressing-our joy and i sorrow as those feelings now mingle. I Joy for the pleasure which we have . had in our associations with you, and A large number of the congregation of the Methndisb Church met. at the parsonage W'eduesda. ni ht of last week and presented ev. .

If you, sir, {we not. going to the Metropolitan, you are going towards it. Sorrow, he- cnuse we feel that though we hz'we other good men in our beloved Meth- odism, yet, it is hard to find those who can so readily adapt themselvos_ :11: so many points to our many-sided ex- periencus in the church and home as you both have done. _-- ‘ . . n We have found you to be a tower of strength in all departments of our work. To the aged you have min- istered with eculizu-success, bl‘ll] ing comfort an consolation into ives who will remember you to the end. To the vigorous and energetic you huVe shown yourself to be a. master in handling all affairs coming under your care so as to develop manhood and Womanhood, not condoning any kind of wrong, but encouraging the faint» hearted so as to leave an impression which will be lasting. Our young peo- ple have appreciated a. sympathy which will long influence their lives, for your loving words, gentle leading and Christ-like example have been an inspiration). . . ... . y As a preacher, it will always be a record that strength, and eloquence of utterance, purity of style and doctrine, as well as richness of piety, have ever marked your deliverance-s. As a pastor you have given the circuit your best attention, resulting in a consol- idation of our work. Often as it has been repeated, what comfort you have brought into homes where sorrow, sickness and bereavement have been found. In the Leagues, and in the musical part of our circuit’s work your consecrated talent has born fruit. In most of these points,Mrs.Stewart, you have been of equle benefit to our work, but we must specially mention‘ how much we have appreciated your deep interest in our League, and the great advantage it; has been to have your advice and practical help in our W. M. S. work. We shall miss your happy smile and kindly voice, but your place in our hearts shall re- main the same. We regret to have to part, but since it is needful in our-work, we rejoice that another field is to be favored, whilst we sorrow. Let, us assure you that we shall ever be delighted to hear. as’ we are sure we shall, of your continued prosperity, and shall be glad to welcome you at any time into our midst. - We have met this evening that, we may attempt to express our apprecizh tion of you both, and your highly- esteemed family, and to bid you God~ speed. Accept these few expressions, and this table and lamp, not, as fully outlining our feelings, but as indicat- ing the. existence of thoughts. which are too sacred to be expressed in language.
