I shalt never forgot my first vision
of William •Denton.lt was In the
court house at Little Reek, Arkaiess,
in the tommyrot 1831. 'Chu occasion
itself possased a terrible Interest; well
tokarktted to fix hi the memory all
its circuradanots. A vast concourse
ofspectators had assembled to witness
tiretrial of a young and very bestial

The Judge waited* the Moment for

The general iprze, however, Was
then diverted by the adVent of the

enough to drive oven a cynic mad,
for hers was a style of beauty to be

was the spell of an enchantthent tobe

it in the flashes of her countennnee,
clear ns sunlight, brilliant as the iris;
In theclassic contour of her features,
symmetrical as if cut with an artist's

As•the unfortunate girl, so tasteful
ly dressed, so incomparat 'le as to per
sonal charms, calmly took her place
the bar of heriudge,'s murmur
of admiration arose from the multi
tude, which the prompt interposition
of the court could scarcely repress
from swelling into deafening cheers.
The murmur was followed by a loud
undrrthly yell from one solitary bo
som, as ofsolno one in mortal anguish.
All eyes were centered' on the stran
ger, and all were struck withsurprise
and wonder, for his features writhed
as if in torture—torture that his rain
of tears could not assuage. But what
could bathe cause of thissudden erne
. (ion? Could any connection exist be
tween him, the apparently rude hue
• tor, and that Gary girl, more beauti
• ful than a blOssom of summer, and in
countenance celestial as a star?
• The Judge turned to the prisoner—
" Emma Greenleaf, the court has been
informed thatyour counsel, Col. Li
nton, issick,turdamnotattend. Have
you employed any other?" - •
She answered in n voice sweet as
the warble of a nightingale, and clear
as tho song of a skylark:
"Hy enemies have bribed all the
teryoni, even my own to tie sick, but ,1
Uocl will defend the innocent."
At this response, so touching in Its
simple pathos, a portion of the audi
ence buried applause and the rest
wept. On the. Instant, however, the
leather robed stranger, whose aspect
WA previously excitAxi so much mer
riment, approached the prisoner, and
whispered something loiter ear. She
hounded several inches from the floor
uttered a wild shriek,and then stood
pale and trembling as if in the pres
-1/4 eIIPO of g host from the grave. All
`now coukiperceitro that there must
bo some mysterious connection be
weeti the two, and the scene assumed
the interest of at genuine romance.

"Let her speak for herself," Said

thicifis a brief abstract of tho owe
list circumstances, developed in the
examination of witnesses. The testi
mony closed and the pleadings began.
First of nil, Fowler, Pike, and Ash
ley, (all famous lawyers at that time
in the south-west) spoke inmates:lion
for the •primocutlon. They about
equally partitioned their eloquence
betwixt the prisoner'and her advo
cate, covering the latter with such
serenade wit, raillery, and ridicule as
made it a matter , of doubt whether he
or his client was the party then on
trial. As to Denton, however, he
seemed to pay not the slightest atten
tion to his opponents, but remained
motionless; with his forehead bowed
on his hands, like one burled in deep
thought or in slumber.
When his time came, however, he
suddenly sprang to his feet, crossing
the bar, and ;took a position almost
touching the foreman of the Jury, he
then commenced in a whisper, but in
a whisper so wild, peculiar, and in
describably distinct as to fill the hall
from floor to galleries:
At the outset ho dealt In pure logic
analyzing and combining the proven
theta, till the whole mass of confused
evidence looked transparent as a globe
of crystal through which the inno
cence of his client shone luminous as
n sunbeam, while the jurors nodded
'to each other signs of thorough con
viction. That thrilling whisper, and
concentrated argument and language
simple ag child's, had satisfied the
demands of the intellect, and this too,
in only twenty minutes. ' It was like
the work of a mathematical demon
stration.
lle then changed his posture so as
to sweep the Ixir with a glance, and,
like a raging Hon, rushed upon his
adversaries, tearing and rending their
sophistries Into atoms. His sallow
face glowing like a reti-hot iron, the
forked blue vein swelled and wreath
ed on his brow his eyes resembled
live coals, and his voice was the clan
gor of a trumpet. I have nevi., be
fore or since, listened to such pall
ing denunciation. It was like ove's
eagle charging a flock of croWs. It
ws;s like Jove himself hurling thun
derbolts in the shuddering eyes or in
ferior gods. And yet in the highest
tempest of his, fury ho seemed won
derfully calm. lie employed no ges
ture save one—flash of a long, bony
forefinger directly at the pallid faces
of his legal foes. He painted venali
ty and unmanly baseness in coales
cing for money to ernsh.s Mendleas
female. till a shout df stifled wrath
broke from the multitude, and some
of the sworn panel cried "shiune !"
And thus the orator had carried an
other, point—hitd roused a perfect
storm of indignation against the pros
ecutors—and this also in Just twenty
minutes. '
lie changed his theme once more.
His voice grow mournful as a funeral
dirge, and his eves filled with tears,
as he traced a vivid picture of•man's
cruelties and woman's wrongs, with
a special application in the case of his
client, till .half the audience wept
like children. ,
-But it was in the peroration that
ho reached the zenith both of terror
and sublimity, His features were
livid as those of a corpse; his very
hair appeared to stand .012' end; his
nerves shook as with a palsy ; he
tossed his hands .wildly toward
heaven, each finger spread apart and
quivering like the fiamapf a candle,
as he closed with the last words 'of
'the deceased Hiram Shore—" Tell
my mother that I am dead and gone
to h=ll I" His emphasis on the
hell embodied the elements of all
horror. It was a wall of Immeasur
able despair--4 wild howl of infinite
torture. No language can depict its
effect on all who heard it. Men
groaned, women shrieked, and one
poor mother was borne away In con
vulsions. The entire speech occu
pied but an hour.
Tho Jury .returned a verdict of
"Not guilty" without leaving the
box, and three tremendous cheer%
like •successive ro ars
e of as earth
quake, shook the court ham from
dome to corner stone, testifying the
Joy of the people. At the same mo
ment the beautiful milliner bounded
to her feet and clasped the trium
phant advocate in her arms, ex
cialmlng—"o, my husband ! my
dear husband !"
Denton smiled, Seized her hand,
whispered,a word In her ear, and the
two left the bar together, proceeding
to the landing, and embarked on a
steamboat bound for Now Orleans:
It seems that they. had • previously
jparted on account of his causeless
ealous y, after which she had assum
ed a false name, and come to Little
Rock. How he learned her danger,
I could never ascertain.

There died iu the prison at' Harris.
burg on Wednesday morning, Pro
fessor P. S. Kountri, in all the horrors
of delirium tremens. The Tbpie says;
Theldstory of this man and his
case Is a remarkable one. He was
born of staid and reputable parents in
the vicinity of York Springs. At rui
early ago ho was sent to Europe to
finish an education, the basis of which
was already well laid. lie exhibited
unusual talent and was the pride of
his frieridsand relatives. Thousands
of dollans.werespent in the cultiva
tion of talents so early, nurnifeated,
and ho graduated with henries from
'several institutions of learning In the
old country, having studios! law,
medicine, and - %Wally theology his
intention being to become a minister
of the gospel. In this country he
held professorships in several colle
gw—one atGettysburg—being a pro
ilelent in the languages, speaking
fluently seven ' different tongues:,
Daring the last two years his queer,
commenced se propitiously, - had been
downwards. He had taken with terri
ble attraction, to the madness of the
I intoxicating bowl, and all his rela
tives could do to reclaim him was in
vain. He spent a patrimony of four
thousand dollars left him at the
death of his father. Ills mother
spent four or five thousand dollars
upon him, in• her efforts to save her
son from ruin. His sister contribut
ed her share of a distributed estate,
four thousand dollars, in the same
cause. All this money he drunk up
in the liquor. At one time ho was
brought home from New York,
where ho practiced medicine for a
brief period. He refused to remain
at home and' wandered off, to the an
noyance and great distress of his rel
atives and friends. He It entreated
Harrisburg; drunk freely: borrowed
money on any and 'every pretense ;
became a burden to those with whom
he associated, and on thesixth ofthis
month leo was ejected from apromi
nent house in this city, having be
come a perfect nuisance. He then
had tits of ddlelunr tremens, and was
placed' In the county jail for safe keep
ing.
On litst Saturday , a week he was
discharged, and telling the Jailor that
he was ashamed to remain in Harris.
burg he went into the country, prom
being to behave better in the Ibture.
But alas to human hopes and promi
ses! No sooner had he again freed
himself from prison till he bound
himself in rum. Entering a tavern
near Illehnien's farm he drank four
even glasses at the bar before he
could be checked, and in a few mo
ments afterwards fell In tits on the
floor having forty spasms in sum
lion. Here he lay for a day or so in
a very precarious condition. Thus
he existed. drinking and suffering
for days, living upon the charities of
the country people. He was quarrel
some, slanderous, unbearable; and .
the community had him arrested and
committed to • Jail on a charge of
common drunkenness and slander.
Mr. Simmons, the keeper of the
Jail, knowing the - Individual and his
=di Lion , begged that the case might
be settled, that the man might be lib
erated, because he was then so far
gone in nervous spasms as to render
his confinement not only dangerous
tolls life, but exceedingly uncom
fortable to those obliged to take care
of him. The case was settled, the
prosecutor paying the coats.:
No sooner was he liberated than he
went back to his country haunts and
recommenced his drunken, vitupera
tive crusade.' The whisky spasms'
continued, and it was deemed neces
sary, as the only possible resort and
the final resort, to again put him in
confinement, and on last Friday he
was brought to this city for the last
time and reincnrcended in the coun
ty jail.
Mr. Simmons and his family were
assiduous in their attentions. hied'-
tine, by advice of,the prison physi
cian, was administered once every
.two hours. Everything that could
be done to give rest and to restore the
nufbrtufulte man's nervous system,
was performed with care. The pa
tient wax wild and incorrigible.
Demons hobgoblins—anything and
everything horriblq haunted him.
He tore up his cot, crept under it,
over iti,ettruck at the wall, and,indeed
experienced all a "human being can
feel in the horrors of mania a polu.
He died this morning, after spending
the night unconsciously, at, about
thirty-five years of age. His eyes
protruded from their sockets, the
result of fright and over straining of
the muscles.
Thus died a once promising young
man. There is no doubt of his talents.
As a physician he was known to be
more than ordinarily skilled. Four
weeks ago he went to Carlisle to per
form an interesting surgical operation
under the direction of Dr. Zio, and
with the money be obtained on this
occasion he started on the terrible
spree which has resulted lb his death.
He confessed to have had four or five
attacks of delirium tremens before
reaching here, and pronouiced his
attacks in the country as merely'llts. ,
His relatives belong to ono of the beat
families in the country, and they will
be sad Indeed to receive the telegram
sent today by J. D. Ewing, en., ask

the body. .
