"fow gentlemen." says the auc

3000 acres of land, 98 negroes of all

seen on the grounds. After sale of

About this time the handsome, well
dressed stranger with silk hat in oie
hand and a bundle of papers in the
other, was observed pushing his wa y
through the throng, from the clerk's
office, and walking beside the auc
tioneer, said:
Mc. Auctioneer, can I have the

Col. Linton advancing towards the
stranger, and looking - him . in the
shouts of joy. Everybody was happy,
but Col. Linton, whose face had
brightened up, was the happiest uf all
as ne ordered his negroes back te
their cabins. They left shouting
and singing a happy crowd.
"Now, Mr. McDonald," says Col.
Linton, "Call me Jimmio, Col., it
sounds sweeter." "Wll Jimmi,
we will now go up to my friends
house where we. will find my wife
and daughter. They will be as de

theglorious news." But the good
news had preceded them, and Mrs.
Linton and Mirtie met them at the
gate. Mrs. Linton for a while was
too full to speak. Bhe fell on Jim

for joy. Jimmie informed them
that he knew nothing of their trou
