‘ Jacob S.- 1 Harden was exeonted .at Belvidere,
Warren county, New Jersey, yesterday afternoon,
for,the murder of his wife, by administering poison
to tter .about the first .of March, 1859. The position
of the , parties implicated In this awfol affairj tho
-previous history of Harden, the fact that he was a
generally recognised member of the holiest of hu
man catlings, and the romance that centres around
bis history, have all contributed to create in the
mind of the people an intense feeling of interest in
the - AV complete narrative of bis life,
and execution we how lay before tbe
. readers of 27*4 Press.
SKBCCB ox HARDKft'a LIFE.
Jacob S. Harden was born at Blairstovrn, New
Jersey, in Hay, 1837. Blairstovrn fa about 15 miles
fromßejTidere, attd ia still tho residence of the
Harden - Id his early youth we learn that
be developed, peculiarities of temperament and
?disposUit>n/ : wbioh, ; U properly controlled or di
rected, .would hare aided-his ready talent, and pos
sibly have banded hij| name down to future gene
rations! crowned with honorable fame, but whloh,
xniaditeciUd, haYea|ded greatly in destroying his’
reputation, undermining his .oharaoter, and con
sighing him to a felon’s grave. As a boy, he was
leafier amongst his fellows, whether in ihe school-;
room or on the, p/ay-ground. HU early training
teems, ’however, to have developed his; naturally
inordinate vanity, and while ,his academic course
heaped honor upoh his head as. a writer, speaker,
ind student, it also sent him forth into a sacred
balling,twlib craftiness in his. heart, vanity and
pride in bis deoeitfnl holiness upon his
tongue. ;ile was filways snoceesfui. As a school'
teacher in the county of Sosbox, where, in 1855, he
labored faithfully to, all outward appearance, he
was particularly able and efficient, and bad not
befiiji fpr his weakness of nerve, and his undue and
improper fondness for ihe society of his female pu
pils, he might have won for himself the love and
admiration of all intelligent and refined people.
At this time, findiog his vocation too circumscribed!
ho become u colporteur,' and fur two years tramped
a Circuit as snob, giving great satisfaction to bis
superiors and to these whom he visited. Indeed,
eo great was his popularity at this time, to success
fully did he qonpeal from the pnblio .eye his true
character, and so completely did he hoodwink the
authorities of tbe churoh, that while a villain at
heart be wasasaint in appearance. • Hewasnever.
regularly licensed, so that the title “ Reverend n
did not properly belong to him.
jAllhough bis .intrigues were.mush talked of
vrhJlo die-was yet’quite young, .and his course
deprecated,'his friends wore hopeful that as be
grew older;he .would grow wiser, and that lu time
he would become a shining light in the literary and
religious world. In the spring of 1857 he was ap
pointed colporteur, and used to travel from post to
post,- teaching, talking, praying, and selling good
books'to the people whose spiritual interests were
iohlsobarge. He was here, as everywhere, sue
obssful, ah& is aald to have Accomplished a great
deal of good for his Master’s caoso. Indeed, bis
roCceBS so certain, and so unprecedented, that
his friehda insisted upon his taking eh&rge of the
ohorehat Moant Lebanon; and yielding to their
desire, though not togularly lleensed, he became a
minister of the Gospel, and engaged to break the
bread of life to suffering humanity, i and point
sinners the way to forgiveness of sin and joy
unspeakable,’ eternal, and full of glory. . En
tering with seal and fervency upon his work, he
became at onoe the favorite preacher in .the town.
His churoh was crowded with the young and the
gay. By his impassioned eloquence he harrowed
up the sinful soul to a consciousness of its wioked
ness, ihe certainty of Its future punishment, and
the ingratitude of continuance, and then in con
trast, bolding u]) the life, sufferings, and death
of the Redeemer, disclosed the possibility of for
giveness, the certainty of life here and life forever,
and pictured, as few others can do, the beauty of
holiness and the desirability of suoh a life, Con
verts were multiplied, the ohnroh list grew apace,
and Harden’s friends congratulated themselves
that they had been instrumental in thus aiding the
work of the Lord. As a revivalist be'has rarely,
been excelled; his descriptive power was very fine, 1
bis imagination powerful,, and tbe, magnetic in
fluence exerted by him upon bis eager listeners if
said to haye,been wonderful. He became a great)
fayorUe, not only with bis' own; congregation, but
with young people generally, and more particularly
with charge. 7 - •>.
HABDEH’a WAURtAGR
■ On tha 28th day of, October, 1858, Harden, then
just having passed his 2ist year, was married to
fttiss Haanah L. Dorlng, the daughter of a miller
IA the'vielnifty named John H. Dorlng. He met
Miss Doripg during bis travels as a colporteur, and
"while stopping at the bouse of her father, at Ander*'
.sontewn, New Jersey. The acquaintance grew
into'lfliimtoy, and ft’appears he had promised to
’marry bar, whloh he afterwards regretted; but in
f his position as a minister he knew not how to avoid
young lady and her parents bolding him to
Ibis promise. Letters that were found in his pos
-1 session,'arid produced by her parents, showed a
correspondence of a very unfavorable oharaoter
1 for the future happiness of pemohs who propose to
unite together for lib. In one written
he wished to be released bom hU engagement. He
stated In the letter that If they married they would
neither of them see another day’s happiness, and
said oa much as though be would put an end to his
own existhnoe;, but they held him to bis promise,

TBB TRGCBLE WITH HIS WIVE.
. WbAt ;tfcV immediate trouble'betwecn Harden
kndh\B,wlUye»a has never been definitely ascer
tained, but it .would seem that after his marriage,
as before, he’ paid great attention to other ladies,
paying them frequent visits, making and receiving
presents, and preferring their society to that of
iua wife. To; Mrs. Harden this was naturally un
pleasant ;ibe remonstrated, he replied, and from
.one thing to another they proceeded, until their
home life became a perfect hell on earth-
DEATH OF IIIS SVIFE.
Harden lived with his wife at a boaxdlng-bouse>
where shedled, About a week previous to her death
she was taken violent)yslck, and was very 111 for
some days, but- recovered so that she was out at
church on the next Sabbath. On .the following
Monday she was out In' the village, cheerful and
lively.; On' Monday, Harden went to Easton and
procured soma arsenic, stating that he wanted to
kill rats. - After purchasing it he sat down and
entered. Into conversation with the .druggist, and
stated, ihat .a. woman over In Jersey had taken
arsenic once or twioe and it had not killed her/ He
Inquired whether, if she took another dose, it would
not cauie her to throw it all ur. The druggist told
him that where poison wastaken onoo and repeated
it would, be certain . death. This conversation
caused the druggist to notice him very particularly,
(so mnohso that he selected hisdaguorreotype.from
seven! others which a person took to him after*
wardsJ \ .! /;
On Monday, evening, after be returned home, he
went totbo store in the village and bought a vial
of Ctodfrey’s cordial, which he opened before he
went up to the room whero his wife was, and, test*
Ing it himself, remarked bow pleasant it was, and
it arouod among the. family, and
pressed them all to taste it. After this he went up
'to his room 1 , and It Is supposed he put the powder
. in the remainder of the cordial andgave it to his
wife. About eleven o’oloek that night she was
iakeh aick again; and died about eight* o'clock on
Wednesday morning. The neighboßTwho were
with her wished to'aend for a r physiclao, -but he
objected, stating that he thought would get
-along without one. After she died, be wished,her
. barled soooer than eustemary, stating that she had
died id full strength, and that it would hot do to
keep *. This created some suspicion that all
was not right,-and a postmortem examination was
proposed,- to-' wbieh .he objected ; but, upon the
examihkttdn by physicians, they elated that there
were symptoias of ,her being poisoned two'or throe
times, and all her sickness indicated the same
fact*. <- ,

a reason the difference botween her mother and

HARDEN DURING CONFINEMENT.
A Newark paper before thi exeouUon ofHardsn
said: “ One of the remarkable characteristics of,
tbit man is his apparently total freedom from any.
thing like dread; he ; seems entirely reconciled to
his destiny, and expresses himself as prepared end
willing to sneetit. The only time be hasevidenced
any depression of spirits was immediately jifter the,
rendering of. the^verdict, r and that waa partially,
the effect of prostration. In a few hours
he had so far recovered as to have a decirWtosoe,
And to actually send for, copies of' the illustrated
papers containlng the accounts of tbo prlte fight!
To show tho state of his physical system, We may
mention that he has actually, gained flesh, aid is
heavier to-day than on the day of his oonfinemeat.-
Sinae his conviction tbe ,’Bqv. Afr. Day, of th» AI.
E. Church, and tbe Rev. Mr. Kirk of the Presby
terian Churob, have been unremitting in their at
tontions 4 to him ; but if wo have correct information,
they do not regard his eternal prospeots/as very
oncoureglngi In fact, we learn one of these river
end gentlomen po .ipforraed the copdemuedafew
; days, since. Harden, however, thinks differently,
and oiaima to believe inhis ultimato salvation.”
On Monday he handed to tbe sheriff a letter,
written in a fine, 'bold style, returning thanks to
him for bis kind treatment during his incarcera
tion, and telling him. he. would like to. give him
some substantial token of his regard, and re
gretting his inability, on account of his poverty, to
do so. He also admonished the sheriff to. take
good care ef bis growing children, to keep them
oat of the paths of vice and immorality, so that
they might not, like him, become a disgraoe to
their parents and thoir country. It is d&ubtiul
whether he has’written out a confession, and if he
has,,it is Baid an effort will be made by the clergy
to suppress it.
THE Niaqt BJSPOUS ,tuk execution.
Upon arriving at Belvldere on Thursday eve
ning, about 9 o’clock, our reparter was greatly sur-r
prised to find so many persons collected from va
rious parts of New Jersey and [Pocnsyl vania, Eas
ton, Bethlehem, Trenton, MUford, Philadelphia,
New York, and numerous other places, which were
largely represented. The five hotels in Beividore
were filled to their utmost capacity, and many
.wore compelled to seek lodgings at private dwell
ings. It was with great difficulty that our report
er oould find ..accommodations. Every .accessible
spot had been taken np hours before his arrival.
After some persuasion, however, “mine host” of
one of ihe Beividore hotels condescended to per
mit, him to tarry with him daring his sojourn, and
kindly appropriated an entire room to his oxolu
slve use.
: The Washington Blues, Capt. W. Stout, from
Washington, a email village about eight miles
south,of Belvldere, arrived on Thursday afternoon,
accompanied by a baud of music.. They noted as a
guard for the prisoner, and some of them were
quartered at the prison on Thursday night, the
bqlanoe at one of the Belvldere hotels.
Great excitement prevailed In Belvldere through
out Thursday evening. Groups of men arid boys
might hare been seen standing iri and about all the
bar-rooms discussing the murder, the trial; the up*
preaching’execution, and tho probable import o*
the confession whloh Harden is supposed to have
Judging from the remarks heard in re
ference to the matter, one would suppose there was
very little sympathy felt for the condemned.
PBXPABATIOMS FOR TUB EXECUTION.
From one o’clock A. M. yesterday until fiobn,
the roads leading to Belvldere were completoly
JUWa-TT*Ux r-obJcitr.< Op thfi
roads a continuous stream of carriages, Trsficos,
do., poured in, and by tho time abjwinted folr the
execution the quiet Httle town of Belvldere had
assumed the appesranoe of a large metropolis. >
About the heavy clouds which hurig
ominously overhead, began to fly in airy tumult,
and ere long the sun broke out,'revealing the dear
blue sky, making the leaves wear a fresher dud
greener ai they trembled in ife rays,
and dissipating the gloom which appeared tofcricf
settled .on aJUo consequence of tbe apprOheodofi
wetwfiatber. ■ t \
At an early hour in tbe morning the Washington
Blues were marched to the court house, and duly
stationed in and' around it, in order to keop back
the hourly-increasing orowd. This soon became
no very easy manner, nod bed it not been for tho!
determination and’ pradenoe ot Capt. Stout and
Lieut. Bell, it fa more than likely the Crowd would,
have forced their way into the building.
No one was permitted to enter the cell of Harden
during Friday ’ morning, except the olergyand a,
few intimate friends. Rev. Mr. Day, of the Me.,
thodist Church, and Rev. Mr. Kirk, of the Frcsby te- -
rian Church, remained with >h!m during Thursday
night, most of the time having been spent it devo
tional exercises. At. four o’clock yesterday morn
ing these gentlrmen left-him, when Mr. H eQ BU
MoNsry, a young man who has been tbe
companion for the past two weeks, entered and re
mained with him until about 11 o’clock, when the
two-reverened gentlemen above named, together
with Dr«. Clarke, Braokiey, and Matteson, joined
the prisoner, and remained with him until the exe-.
cutlon.
1 HARDEN VISITS TUB SCAFFOLD.
About nine o’clock he Informed Bheriff Sweeney
that ho would like to be conducted cut Into the
yard in order to obtain a view of the scaffold, as
signing as hia reason for this strange itqueat, that
hedesirod to be as calm and collected as possible
when coDduoted to the scaffold in presence, of the
spectators, and thought if he were permitted to
visit it previously he could then go through dhe
trying sconb with more coiupoeute and firmness.
The sheriff complied with his request, and conduct,
ed him out in proaeuae of Judge Sharpe, Ciptaiu
Stout; Henuis MeNary, aml a few others.
Heiscouded the steps in ootnpany. with Sheriff
Sweeny, examined the scaffold with great minute

which he deairod the execution to take place iwith
A degree, of coolness and judgment that was' sur
prising. Our reporter was informed by Jbdge
Sharpe iba.t during this scene he was, so far ijs ex
ternal appearances were concernod, more calii and
tranquH than either of those who witnessed !^
On Thursday his brother visited him for tho last
time. Hi* parents bad not. paid him a vfsft for
tifo weeks. It is said that the parents of hi* wife
were very desirous of being present at iho ’execu.

TWENTY DOLLARS OFFERED Fob A TICKS*,
Twelve o’clock was the hour fixed for the adaU

tickets. • There, were but .150 tickets issued, and
mu'oh fault was found with tho sheriff for the:man.

for not haying U?e execution In front of the Court
house, so.tbat all wfco d L esjrp4 might have an dppor

to wituess the excoation that any amount of money
would have been willingly paid for admission. Oar
reporter heard ono man publloly deolaro, in* front
of the court houso, that he would give twenty dol-
Urs for a ticket, and was unable to > obtaifi one,
notwithstanding there wore scores of persons about
him possegjiQd of thorn. Any number might' have,
readily been disposed of, at price* ranging from
five to dollar*.

SCENES AMD INCIDENTS,
At twolve o’clock there wero net les3 than 3,000
persons about the court-hruso, a large number of
whom wore females. It was supposod that Har
den would make a and a report was put In
circulation that a platform would be erected In
front of the oourt 'bouse ior this purpose. This,
doubtless, aocom.ts for the great orowd present
upon the ocaaslon. Several females, and two or
thijoe smalt boys wore among the witnesses of the
execution! .
7 Every spot about the court-house commanding a
vidwof the soaffold was eagerly sought after. The
'-roof ofa large barn in the vicinity was completely
covered with men, for the occupancy of whleh
they paid the tom of fifty cents. Even the trees
were turned, with truo Yankee ingenuity* to some
account by thoir owners. It was a novo! sight to
behold tho branches of soveral trees filled with
men and boys,, and rather amusing to see with
what eagornoss eaoh paid bis twenty-five cents for
this privilege.
A few minuter before the prisoner issued from
hi} ocll, a Hmb of a large oherry tree, covered
with man, gave way with a terrible orash, by
which many wore injured. One man was ioj ured
so, severely internally as to. be iroablo to move or
apeak.*,
Harden was neatly dressed; wore a blue-cloth
frock ooat, with velvet collar, blaok-oloth panto
lobns, block-Bllk plush vest, light linen nock-tie,
oross-plaited shirt, and patent-leather shoes. Bis
hair was carefully combed and brushed back. He
wis about five feet eight or nine inshes la height,
with n frame'indicative of great bodily strength,
aild would weigh about one hundred, and fifty or
orio hundred and sixty pounds. It was the im
pression of the physicians, from tbe partial exami
nation which they tnado, that the neck was riot
dislocated by the fall.
'Ambrotypes of Harden, badly exocutod, and
.pasted on a small card, about the size and shape of
ayisltlog or business card, were Bold in and about
ttje jail fop'fifieen cents apiece.

that Harden prepared a confession, which will

of tho houses at Atlantic have hMD enlarged and
greatly improved siooe the last fflson. The Surf
uouse, kept by Mr Denson, baa had an entire new
building, with accommodations fbr one hundred
and fifty guests sdded to It. The establishment
is kept in splendid style, tho sleeping aocommoda
dions being first class, and 1 tho table constantly
supplied with all the luxuries of earth, air, and
ocean. Tho Furl enjoys the advantage of being
located nosr the sea, and the approach to the
beach from it is pleasant, and convenient. Tho
Surf House must always be a favorite place for fa*
milles in searob of quiet and comfort, while it is
under the excellent management of Mr. Benson.
Visitors are taken direct to the door in the oars
without the intervention of haoks or baggage
smashers.
A Dumber op Philadelphians passed
the Fourth of July at Johnstown, on the line of
tho Pennsylvania Railroad, These constituted a

ret cost $1,600, and was manufactured by William
Wilson A Sen, of this city, who lately completed a
similar sorvieo ForThoa. A.'Scott. Esq., vico pijesi

due to Mr. Bowles. of Johnstown, lor the efficiency
with which the affair was conducted. Mr. Frits
