An Exciting Trial at W. Arleana
The trial of George W. Harby—an old
and respectable citizen ofNcwOrieans,
and a veteran teacher in the public schools
for over a quarter of a century—for the
killing of Charles H. C. Stone, (a native
of Virginia,) a young man of previously
irreproachable character, and a junior
member of one of the largest and moat re
spectable mercantile houses in that city,
took place on the 18th ult. The lulling
grew out of the charge that Stone had se
duced the daughter of. Harby, and then
refused to marry her.- The trial seems to
have created intense excitement, and the
court room was thronged with an anxious
multitude. The defence admitted the kil
ling, but contended that, under the cir
cumstances, it was justifiable.
Miss Caroline M. Harby, the daughter,
who had been seduced, was among the
witnesses on the trial. The Orescent uys}
■ She was neatly dressed, disclosing a
graceful, rather small figure, and Was close
ly veiled. After receiving the oath she
took her seat in the elevated chair, still
veiled. Mr. Moise told her politely that
it would be necessary for her to raise her
viei). She raised^.her■ heavy brown veil
which hid herfime, leaving a black ; lace
vjeil sti|l hanging. Her face, however,
could be plainly seen.. She was verypale,
hut very resolute looking, jin reply to the
questions of Mr. Durant she gave her an
swers in ia dear and firm voice,and in lan
guage which proved her to have received
the education of a My.
Upon being.asked by Mr. Durant, in a
manner asdecorous as the case would al
low, if Stone had net seduced, and if he
was not the lather cf her child, her firm
ness deserted her. She bowed over the
arm ,of- the chair and uried and sobbed
bitterly. Herfafcheralao gave way, and
the feeling spread among the spectators,
jurors and everybody. We never saw so
touch silent weaping in any crowded as
sembly as there was on this occasion,
whilst the father and daughter sobbed to
gether. The scene lasted several min
fites.
| The main points of her testimony are
embraced in the remarksof Mr. JDurant.
Sheswore positively to the seduction, and
Stone’s promise to many her, and his
subsequent refusal to comply with, his
promise.
j The prosecution having introduced two
witnesses who swore that they had had
K’nal intercourse with Miss Harby, and
he had asked Stone for money, she
jnas recalled to the stand. She mounted
the steps firmly, and lasted of seating
herself,Btood op, raised her right hand,
mid, in a clear, brad voice, which fell with
electric force upon the breathless assem
blage, said: .
| K Before Almighty <h>d, and by all my
hereafter, I do solemnly swear, that
what these men have sworn about me is
her foot.)
If ten thousand lives depended on it f it it
ffU/qlte ! I don’t see how any man could
come here and talk that way about me be
fore my father, and— ’
L Here she feel into the chair, and gave
way .to a hysterical fit of weeping andsob
hing. The court was foirly stunned by ;
jher. vehemence, and the dramatic force of
jthe scene. Upon recovering herself, Miss
iHarby stated that itwasfalse that she had
ever apked Joseph Stone for money. lie
had professed great sorrow for her dis
tresses, and hhd offered the money to her,
|and insisted on her taking it. She had
.written him notes to .eome and see her,
ibutahehad never asked fom for money.
She never had criminal intercourse with
janyonehnt Oharies Stone. ‘
| The case pas sufoakted to the jury
withbdt argument, mid in a few minutes
.returned a verdict of - u not guilty.” The
jrcsnlt produced a scene seldom witnessed
jin snob a place. Cheer after cheer re
i sounded through the building, and the
■indignant remonstrances of the -judges,
laud the vigorous exertions of the deputy
i sheriffs failed to quiet the enthusiasm,—
-The demonstrations were renewed outside
the court room until Mr. Harby succeed
ed in getting away from his friends and
| driving off in a carriage with his daughter.
Oub National Best. —On the •!Ist of
July next,' says the Washington Star, the
debt of the United States will amount to
about $65,000,000, including the loan of
$20,000,000 recently authorized by Con
gress. Taking into consideration the
present state of the Treasury, and the
probable extent of receipts during the
ensuing year, it is improbable that any
payments will: be made until after the
fiscal year, ending July, 1859. In the
meantime, however, the peaceful termina
tion of the Mormon imbroglio, and the
probable amicable adjustment of the diffi
culties with England, will save the coun
try a very large expenditure, the necessity
of which we apprehended up till nearly
the close of the session of Congress.
Decrease ui Population.-— lt is mentioned
as one of the incidents of the disastrous result

This falling off indicates a much greater loss
for only the heads of families and persons en

included in the count. It is the first year it is
said, since the last war with England, that a
similar result has been shown.

the other occupants of the wagon escaped with

JXSu A young lady in Cincinnati, Miss Fanny
lull, has recovered damages of $3,500 against
one Vandergrilf, and other parties, for false im
prisonment. She was confined for six months
•n the Lunatic Asylum, thro’ the instrumental
ity of the officers of the church to wIL-h she
belonged, but was proved to be sane, and was
then discharged. The suit has been tried three
times. The first jury gave her n verdict of
$lO,OOO. A new trial was had, and the jury
failed to agree. The third time she was again
successful, and this ends the case.
Frauds os the Post-Office Since Monday
morning last, over forty suspicious packages
purporting each to bo “one newspaper,” have
been overhauled by the clerks at our post-office
hera, and found to contain contraband matter
Collar patterns, Indian moccasins, baby dresses,
gloves, daguerreotypes, letters' *nd every con
ceivable thing which could be wrapped up in a
paper so as to avoid letter postage. The post
age assessed on these parcels amounted to about
fifty dollars.— St. Paul Jfinuetvthn.

“ I have sees the Governor of the
walking gravely np the road - toward lus tentj, I
carrying a piece of store fuel under each ana; I
I have seen the Chief Justice cutting the turf
for a chimney, and punching _ the oxen which
were drawing logs to build his cabin; the Sec
retary of State splitting wood, and the United
States Attorney and Marshal plastering the walls
of their hot with mad. Yesterday I saw one
United States Commissioner, 'stripped to the
buff, and riding on horseback, piloting a wagon
through a ford across the South Platte, which
ho had discovered by wading, while the other
Commissioner, haring accomplished the passage,
sat upon a corn sack on tho opposite bank, men
ding r. rent in his pantaloons. These pictures
may convince you that the civil officers, at least,
in connection with the Utah expedition, are not
sinecures."
Th* Cruise or the Arctic.— The little old
Arctic, says the Albany Evening Journal, hat >
turned out as we expected it would. She was
sent to the Gulf, it will be remembered, to
“ blow the British fleet out of water," (with two
guns and a howitzer.) The first day out, she
made three miles an hour. The third out, she
soiled so heavily that a corporal’s guard of ma
rines had to hold the howitzer to keep it from
pitching overboard. On the seventh day, she
broke her engine. On the eighth, she sprung
leak. On the ninth, set all hands at the
pomps. Succeeded in stopping the leak, she
crept on at banal boat speed—two and a half
miles an honr. Sbe did not see the British fleet
—di<Tnt see the Styx—did’nt see anything, in
feet, except when some merchantmen overtook
mJ atil«d past her. Finally after a voyage of
eighteen days, (more than it. takes to go to Eu
rope.) she reached Havana. Then it was found
tbpt her boilers were out of order, and she
started back to Key West for repairs. It li
hardly necessary to add that she did not “blow
the British fleet out of water."

A Mav Attacked bv Wolves.— The Joilet
(HI.) Signal says:—A man, whose name ve
have not learned was attacked by s pack of
wolves, hear the foot of Lake Joliet, in this
county, a few days since. He was severely in
jured* and, it is said, would have been devour.

In tun employ of Mr. C. Smith, who heard his

To be Excluded. —Chinese and negroes an

BEBu Frogs are now a regularly quoted iifti
cle in the New York market. The last report
reads “frogs are in demand, and sell for one
dollar per d oxen. These are lost becoming a
favorijc dish* and the demand for them is be
coming greater.” The health warden, Wednes
day^'seised on two boxes, containing at least
five hundred each, in a decaying condition, and
sent them to the dead-animal contractor’s dock.
