Page 2 Column 2  Simon Pulliam, a blacksmith, who has been residing here two or three years, absconded week before last, apprehending an arrest for perjury, and assisting runaway Negroes to escape from their owners�both of which he was guilty of.  As a matter of course, he was last seen at Madison. 

 

Page 2, column 4  More Slaves, --six of the �personal property, goods, and chattels� of a Mr. Glitner, of Carroll Countym, Ky., passed over the river yesterday.  Some three years ago this person brought an action in the Supreme Court against a gentleman in Marshall, we believe, for aiding some of his �property� in their journey Canadawards.  He recovered $3,000.  Since that time he has lost 28 slaves, and the band that passed over yesterday are the last of an entire plantation�s stock.  He was here last week looking for them, but the engineers on the underground were altogether too cunning for him.

Page 2 Column 2  Distressing Accident, -- A lad by the name of Williams, while engaged in pressing hay on the farm of Mr. W. Springfellow, three miles south-east of this place, met with a fearful if not fatal accident on Tuesday evening last.  He was seen on the platform for feeding the press, and it is presumed by those near by, that he climbed up one of the posts, near the top, where his head was caught by the turning sweep and jammed against the post, literally tearing off one entire side of his face.  He instantly fell to the ground, and was conveyed to the nearest house, where he received medical attendance as soon as it could be obtained from town.

Since the above was in type, we have learned that Young Williams died on Thursday morning.
