During my anti-slavery experience two notable cases took place, where this test of.conscience occurred: The first arose out of the following causes: The place where we used to secrete the flying fugitive, and which constituted our up perground depot was the cellar of a house owned.by, and where xesided a colored man and wife. Near the residsnce of Charles and Rachel (for such were their names,) was the little old school house, bought by a few German Lutherans, with the intention of partially rebuilding, and fixing up into a church.
