Its appearance indicated wealth, and commanded the attention of passers-by, being a noble-looking house surrounded with rich and valuable lands. As I approached the premises all the hands entered the house. Looking behind me I discovered a large body of birds flying towards me, and I thought it not unlikely that the parties had gone into the house to prepare them- selves to have a shot at the feathery tribe ; but I was soon undeceived in my sup- position. I found no white people in tlie house, ...but seven darkies, protruding their woolly cocoa-nuts through the windows. The doors were all locked, and I was told that I was an object of terror, as it had been reported that there were bad white people roving through the country, whose object was to take colored per- sons from a good home, and to take them to the north to die with cold and want. My stay was as brief as possible. As I was leaving the farm-yard an aged and white-headed son of Africa said to me, " What your objeci, please, gentleman ?" I told him I wished to see his master, in order to pay a few htmdred dollars that I was indebted to him.
